Netflix Windows 11 app crashes when playing downloaded content

[JanlucG]

Hi,
I am running Parallels Desktop 18 on a M1 Pro MBP. I can watch Netflix on the Netflix Windows 11 app and I can download content, but I can't watch downloaded content. The app crashes every time. It's very frustrating. Does anyone know how to make this work?

Hello Parallels
Any good news for us? Please don't tell us to go ask Microsoft!
Cheers

Hi Quentin,

Unfortunately, doing exactly that is the fastest way to resolve this issue.

I tried to provide feedback on the hub through your link and am being told "your account doesn't have access to this feedback". I have a business 0365 account and I'm an admin, so not sure what's going on. If there's any other way to access this to add to chorus of voices?

Another month later and we still cannot watch offline on netflix app... That's the only reason why i wanted to use this parllales app, so dropping it.

Same issue still persists. Still cant play downloaded video on Netflix, it crashes straight a way. Unbelievable that for such a long time bobody can fix the problem

can anyone confirm if this was fixed in latest versions of parallels? i don't plan to renew my licence until this is fixed...

Hi all,
As per this article, Netflix has retired its offline Windows app. The brand-new Netflix app, which is based on Microsoft Edge, is now available, but as expected, it doesn't support the Downloads feature.

i met many error in the Netflix for windows version. so, now, i use StreamUlt Netflix Video Downloader to download Netflix movies to watch them offline.
