Skyworth Netflix error

[GR1M_the_R33PER]

Hi All,

I hope this is in the correct forum.
I installed Netflix form the Google Playstore on my Skyworth TV box. When I open Netflix I get the following error :

"This version of Netflix app is not compatible with your device. (-13)"

Why would it be available from the Google store on my device if it is not compatible!?

I have also tried the APK from netflix via https://help.netflix.com/en/node/57688 to no avail.

Any ideas?

This is the incorrect thread to discuss this. Here is the correct thread.

The Skyworth media player is not Netflix certified.

I'm going out on a limb here and say this is not a Netflix certification issue, but instead Naspers (showmax) blocking Netflix. Looks like they commissioned the box.

"At the heart of the dispute is the relationship that Namec, an industry body for small, medium and micro enterprises in the electronic manufacturing sector, has entered into with pay-TV operator MultiChoice and the Chinese manufacturer Skyworth Digital to supply a potential 15-million boxes over the next three years."
