Netflix says Vision Pro is too ‘subscale’ for it to care about::As revealed last week, the Netflix app won’t be available on Vision Pro when it launches next week, nor will…
If they would not care, they would not actively prevent you from installing the iPad app on the vision. They definitely care.
It’s like the people who hang around in comment sections yelling at everyone how much they don’t care about down votes and don’t care how many people dislike them in the comments.
You keep saying you don’t care, but you’ve been constantly replying to people for two hours, all about how you don’t care. If you really didn’t care, you would do nothing. It’s the default. You have to expend energy to do something (like blocking access from certain things)
I don’t think so, they could have done it to not spend support time and resources with it.
I stopped caring about Netflix a few years ago.
it’s ridiculous that this is even a question - it’s a hype-expensive devkit that will have a microscopic install base. Watching seething fanboys raging about it is hilarious.
There’s thousands of dollars in other fees (gotta have apple silicon to develop for the thing so you really can’t cheap out on entry level storage and ram, that’s gonna hurt 1500-3000 easy), $100-250 in dev registration, apple care to reduce the inevitable broken shit (trust me on this devs, we broke vr prototypes all the time - and this thing is made of glass!) - that’s another $499 for two years.
Also, you got the resources for that device and the above costs, HOLY FUCK ARE YOU GONNA WATCH NETFLIX ON THE DAMNED THING?
no you’re gonna develop something to hopefully pay for all those fucking costs. get ready for a shit ton of fruit ninjas.
They already don’t even give a shit about their AppleTV app… why would they care about this.
Poor Netflix, it’s not like they’re worth a quarter trillion dollars or anything.
surely you can open it as a webpage and have basically the full experience?
Likely limited to 1080p, like in Safari on iPad. Netflix artificially limits resolution and bitrate in most browsers, for no technical reason. See https://help.netflix.com/en/node/30081
It’s drm reasons. At least it’s 1080p most streaming services limit it to 720p.
If I recall correctly the iPad isn’t 4k and 4k doesn’t seem to be supported on any devices that aren’t actually 4k. Really stupid but very common.
You say DRM, I say artificial limits for no technical reason. Tomayto, tomahto. :)
But actually, it’s not just DRM. Netflix limits Firefox to 720p, despite it being fully capable of playing Netflix’s 1080 streams. Same with all browsers on Linux. You can trick it into playing 1080p in these “unsupported” browsers with plugins or user-agent spoofing.
Or at least you could last year; it’s a cat-and-mouse game and it became easier to just pirate stuff than try to un-break Netflix, so I haven’t tried recently.
