Plex not allowing me to add Netflix, says not available in my region. BS as I have Netflix
What region is that?
Lots of users are reporting this problem when they have many streaming services available to them. Netflix " is available for streaming in over 190 countries" so I don’t know how that question is relevant.
Has there been any response from the Plex team on why this is happening to so many people in so many countries? It’s been over two weeks.
Botswana, Africa. Plex says I have no streaming services at all. We get, Netflix, Showmax, Prime, Hulu and a few others also
It is very much relevant. Streaming rights (or any rights to media for that matter) are contracted per country/region.
Even Netflix has differently available movies, depending on which country you are accessing Netflix from.
So you can’t say “movie X is available on Netflix”. You always have to specifiy the country, or you will get wrong information.
Would this explain why people in the countries mentioned are not able to access any streaming services through Plex? Because the content differs by region?
Just wanna let you know that this “Discover” feature is hosted entirely by Plex, as far as I can tell. It seems like they are scraping movie and show metadata from the internet and presenting their own at http://www.watch.plex.tv which this “Discover” feature is just an app-end appearance for that site. They likely have a lot of bugs on geo-locating your location (to figure out which region you belong to), figuring out which services are available in that region, and then going TO that service to figure out what shows are in that region.
They have issues with some services even in the US. Red Notice is a popular movie out recently on Netflix, yet their site (and the in-app “Discover” feature) don’t seem to know where you can stream it from.
Precisely.
Puerto Rico has the same contents as the USA and I can’t add any streaming services
Also in Slovenia. We have Netflix, HBOMax, AppleTV. None of them are showing up. Please developers, can you PLEASE make it working?
