Addressing recent issues with the website and API

re missing titles... this is the same thing as I was seeing with greece... you can access those titles directly but when searching they do not show up.... something very strange is going on (as usual...)

@admin Strange indeed. Could it be some kind of shadow ban.

admin

yeah, they have been making loads of little tweaks over the last couple weeks... will need to go back to the drawing board on how to source all the titles... thinking of crowd sourcing it....

Why you dont have Turkey section on country page?

admin

we had to start over on a few things.. and turkey isn't being scraped at the moment... hopefully we can add it again over the coming weeks

El resultado de número de videos (series y películas) es erróneo con relación a ellos.

said in Addressing recent issues with the website and API:

The result of number of videos (series and movies) is wrong in relation to them.

There is a new type to be selected in addition to series and movies called "show" since when selecting "movie" they only show movies. I hope you can add it.

Sorry! Please skip what I wrote "when selecting "movie" they only show movies", so you add the type "show" anyway.

Sorry to hear about the problem with Netflix, looking forward to seeing all the countries back soon. If there's anything I can help with (tests, scripts, VPNs in Central Europe), I am ready.

Regarding Greece and the problem with Superman. Could be this problem related to different profiles?

Some titles are accessible only when you select the profile with a specific language even when your account is one country. I had the same problem in the Czech Republic when Netflix last year came with full Czech support.

1.) When you have the profile with the Czech language, you are able to see and search only the titles with Czech subtitles or audio (only about 30% library in the Czech Republic.
2.) When you have the profile with the English, you are able to see and search only the titles with English subtitles or audio. So for example, if there's a Czech movie with no English audio or subtitles, you are not able to find with English profile. The problem is for 20-30 titles right now.

And just for fun. If you want to access the URL from case 2, for example, https://www.netflix.com/title/81192071 from outside the Czech Republic and not logged-in or with the script with no CZ header, it will show you 404.

Now I see I know why is wrong the total of videos of each country is because you haven't added the type "show".

admin

can you give me an example of a title of type 'show', this don't really understand what you are talking about

@admin These are some titles (being 8 in total) that are not "movie" or "series" below:

https://www.netflix.com/title/80197844
https://www.netflix.com/title/80198329
https://www.netflix.com/title/80212986
https://www.netflix.com/title/81019037
https://www.netflix.com/title/81080761
https://www.netflix.com/title/80993591

yeah thats super weird... must be a bug with the new pull code... everything should be either a series or a movie

If they not displays the type "show", can be found in "New last 7 days" (being today's date) with the aforementioned titles.

admin

this 'show' stuff should be fixed

Expiring titles are not working at this moment!

Why never you have ordered alphabetically the countries in title's preview when in further info are ordered? The order would be the following:

If they are all the 34 countries:

Current Order:

1st» Canada
2nd» France
3rd» Germany
4th» Netherlands
5th» Poland
6th» United Kingdom
7th» United States
8th» Argentina
9th» Australia
10th» Belgium

The rest of countries are ordered alphabetically.

New Order:

1st» Argentina
2nd» Australia
3rd» Belgium
4th» Brazil
5th» Canada
6th» Czech Republic
7th» France
8th» Germany
9th» Greece
10th» Hong Kong

If you can do it if is necessary.

There's a Netflix original title with the year zero (0):
https://www.netflix.com/title/81156880

It supposes that is the most recent (see date on Globally new to unoGS).
