netflix on roku

[dan188]

is it just me or is netflix seem to have abandoned development of the Roku app. profiles have never been added or auto play. it's kinda sad that netflix has it at a stand still

I don't have a problem with Netflix on Roku. It always remembers me and takes me straight to programs I've watched recently and recommendations. Actually Netflix works better on my Roku than on my smart LG bluray player.

Profiles are on the roku3,I haven't had time to look for autoplay.

Profiles would be nice. Autoplay would piss me off (although I understand I could turn it off).

Taste preferences can be completely customized from the Netflix account page.

Having autoplay on the roku 2 xd would be fantastic. The primary use of it is watching tv series and having to select the next episode every time is a pain.

I prefer the interface of Netflix on the Roku 2 XD vs the interface on my Sony BD player or Panasonic TV (the UI are pretty much identical, from what I can see).

On a related note, who does the development, Roku or the hardware manufacturer ? If it's Roku, they have to support so many different hardware devices that it seems unreasonable to manage - unless the hardware makers have all adhered to standards that Roku needs.

I just wish they would bring profiles and auto play to the Roku hd

Netflix started designing and producing the (Project Griffin) hardware of the streaming box, but decided not to get into becoming a hardware company too...which allowed them to focus on software development of their apps on many platforms. Netflix spun off the "Project Griffin" to another (Roku) company. Not sure if Netflix is part owner or not.
