Hi all, a lot of people in the netflix turkey thread is saying their membership has been cancelled but did not specific the payment type.

I am trying to determine what the criteria of membership cancellation is, please vote only if you are on Netflix Turkey

Error if your membership is cancelled

Sorry this account is no longer active. Please sign up again or sign in to a different account.”

EDIT: Official "story" provided by netflix:

As per checking To protect members against unauthorized charges, we sometimes cancel accounts that show signs of unusual activity. It looks like your account was canceled for this reason.

They will even recommend you dispute charge via your card company to get a refund as they did not provide you with the service you paid for. So everyone go and get your money back and then buy Turkey Gift Cards ahaha Personally I recommend turgame 200TL gift cards if you order after 5pm they will arrive pretty fast.

              @lonewolf: NordVPN: 100% Cashback for New VPN Plan Customers @ Cashrewards

              ps. Getflix never worked for me in the past, couldn't make sense of it or was missing something.
              Stuffed around with it in 2021, useless. Couldn't save DNS and they didn't support Netflix outside USA.

              We apologize for the inconvenience. Netflix implemented a change affecting all VPN companies as well as our Smart DNS network. Currently Netflix is providing access to global content for people accessing it from these networks. Our network team is already working on a solution.
              We will keep you updated once we have further information on this case.
              Also, we don't support any other Netflix regions aside from US.

    I've signed up to India to give it a go. Before I start starting watching can someone answer these questions?:

    1) You can watch on mobile device without connected to VPN and not be booted off?
    2) If you watching on TV device you need VPN if not you will be booted off?
    3) If you watching on multiple TVs in one household they all need to go through the same VPN? And only way to do this is a VPN profile in router?
    4) Can you set VPN profile on each media device like google tv or fire stick and then watch or that is classified as pw sharing and can be booted off?
    5) is there a way to change the end user tv device profile to say its a mobile device?

      You've wasted your money. You'll get booted in a few days

      • G-rig on 06/03/2024 - 08:27

        I think most people enjoy the challenge, I'd personally put that money towards the Stremio+Torrentio+Debrid setup and get on with your life. Not worth spending so much time on it, including bank chargebacks and sitting on hold lol.

      • nwa on 06/03/2024 - 13:58

        I happen to be travelling soon coincidentally to India. So will only use on mobile travelling. When I come back will try on TV and if they boot me then so be it.

    Since the crackdown my resolution to not give any money to Netflix is getting a daily beating at home with the high command calling me names like cheap etc. Little she knows that these names are strengthening my resolution and I wear it pride as a badge of honour. I have doubts however about the longevity of this stand especially if this starts impacting on 'special cuddles'.

        +1, it's very nicely integrated solution, content featured on all platforms too, including new releases that would otherwise be rent/buy only.

        It's certainly worth testing, even keeps track of episodes watched and weekly releases, skip credits, synopsis and IMDb ratings. Works great.

              @G-rig: its funny - the whole time with netflix i used to scroll through and think, geez idk hey the library aint that great. then probalby end up watching seinfeld again anyway.

              now with stremio, SOOOOO many more options..and i end up watching seinfeld anyway.

                On a similar note, the latest season of Curb is on Stremio (s12), with a new one every week.

                End up watching junk on Netflix most of the time, now we can think about what we actually want to watch and then search (looks for all services as configured), much better. Still comes up with suggestions anyway.

                        @txb: Another good free add-on that should probably be mentioned with the Streamio / Debrid setup is Trackt, this helps keep track of shows watched, and to help continue where you left off. (It may already be mentioned in the comments of the setup post, but just in case)

                        • G-rig on 11/03/2024 - 11:38

                          @splicer: Seems to do that already (following the reddit guide), perhaps it's the CyberFlix Catalogue add-on or just Stremio.
                          Doesn't hurt looking at the add-ons though.

        I just tested and was fine with just those two. Best always use a VPN for privacy purposes and away from your ISP logs.

        Real Debrid I believe will have more on offer and will always be decent speed as the stream already exists there. It's is also more secure/private being a paid service.

  • Roe Jogan on 16/03/2024 - 10:45

    an update on this, every large file 90gb starts playing in less than 10 secs now on desktop and tv, on tv the key is to use external player, the internal player takes 40 seconds to start playing, also the netflix unit that you use plays a role on how fast it starts playing.

    • G-rig on 16/03/2024 - 11:41

      Which external player, I noticed you set Kodi to play it?

      The default seems fine on Google TV, I can live with 5-10s considering :).

  • PorkHunt on 20/03/2024 - 20:08

    Anybody having issues with Stremio buffering a lot lately? First time since setting up that I've come across this issue.

    • G-rig on 21/03/2024 - 07:28

      depends on the content, happens now and again on the odd movie (old ones that aren't common sometimes). Usually pretty seamless, just try another stream

    • SBOB on 21/03/2024 - 18:23

      With or without RD source?
      Using RD and haven't noticed any issue

      • G-rig on 23/03/2024 - 09:03

        I'm using the RD integration (as per reddit thread setup).
        It's just the occasional movie, there are some old ones but usually fine.

        • SBOB on 23/03/2024 - 09:38

          Dunno.
          My only 'complaint' with that setup is on my google Chrome (W google tv) the initial load time when selecting a show. That delay is the only thing that's adding friction to the setup.

          • G-rig on 23/03/2024 - 09:51

            @SBOB: 10s isn't too much mate, considering what it's doing. You couldn't think of a show (from any service) and go and download it manually in that time. Some people watch 5h of telly a night, what's 10s. Plus you are getting access to everything not just Netflix content. Just have to chill ;).
            Takes the same time to load on phone and PC anyway I think.

            • SBOB on 23/03/2024 - 10:02

              @G-rig: I've had delay load times well over 10s. Probably around the 30s mark is on par.

              • G-rig on 23/03/2024 - 10:05

                @SBOB: Could just be the title perhaps, I just chose a different stream if that happens. I didn't think seeders matter on cache streaming from their server, but more seems better you'd think.

                Did you change these settings on Google TV?

                Go to Stremio
                settings>Playback> Frame rate matching and select Disabled,

                settings > server > torrent profile and set it up to Ultra-fast

                • SBOB on 23/03/2024 - 10:28

                  @G-rig: yeah both those settings applied.

                @SBOB: Yuck. I've sailed every sea over the last 35 years… and this delay makes me completely ignore it as a valid option. All firestick, dodgybox, IP/PPV, KODI options have been horrendous IMO. Lucky dip of frustration.
                I had paid Disney, Paramount, HBO, Netflix, Stan… the lot. But their prices & behaviour are turd, cancelled. But 10-30 second delays are not an option.

                      Dunno, I'd be impressed if 4k links queue up and start within 5s on a CCwGTV, but it's definitely longer for that than me.

                      • Irishness on 03/04/2024 - 17:11

                        @SBOB: CCwGTV isn't the fastest device I've also noticed that if the wifi signal it's getting isn't strong it'll really tail off, I'd never had a problem before & it was in a cable tidy box but moved it so it gets a better signal & noticed an immediate improvement. I also suspect if it's near full capacity it's slower so best to clear cache & delete unused apps

                        @SBOB: I don't think it's ever been less than 5s, maybe on PC with a good connection. Up to 10s is pretty normal and acceptable. It would take longer or go and look for a manually downloaded (then the time waiting and copying /syncing to whichever player).

                        Agree, who knows if they have paid for RD and or configured properly.

                  @Ulysses31: It's a pretty slick setup with CCwGTV - 5s to 10s is acceptable to me, unless you have ADHD and just start something, flicking around after 2min changing to something else, start another one up. 5 Mississippi's mabe a touch more.

        Neither are ideal and extra effort. The people you sharing with would have to use VPN as well.

        Mind you I didn't mind turning it on for HBO (Max), check out that (about $70/y via Brazil I think).

        • gentlekoala5906 on 23/03/2024 - 12:53

          I installed NordVPN on my CCwGTV and it works, takes a bit longer to buffer but I still get 4k DV no issues. I've only activated for a month so I'll see how it goes, if it's too much effort I'll go back to the high seas.

        • Ulysses31 on 29/03/2024 - 15:55

          HBO was the first time I was impressed with the catalogue. Finally, it felt completely different & fresh. And high-end content was on there straight-away. But their app was poo, constantly logging me out, and I had to side-load it to each device.

          • G-rig on 29/03/2024 - 16:10

            @Ulysses31: Yeah that's true, was a bit buggy, not offered in the okay store for Australia for a start, so that was to be expected.

              FYI this G2A seller is selling 200TL netflix gift card for 6.19 USD (+0.07 surcharge) ended up being $9.62 AUD on my 28D credit card. Which is pretty much how much 200TL is in AUD so highly recommend. I just bought and activated it.

                @CodeXD: I'm off the geo-lock too!

                Interestingly I'm only at 27 days

            @CodeXD: I bought the Turkey gift card from G2A and tried to redeem it via your link and it says code entered is not valid
            Do I need to activate my VPN to Turkey for it to work?

            • CodeXD on 10/04/2024 - 10:39

              @BargainsGrabber: I did not need to activate VPN to Turkey for it to work, but when I originally did it, my netflix account was in Limbo (because netflix cancelled the membership) where it is already set up in Turkey but didn't have an active subscription.

              If you currently do not have an active Turkey netflix subscription I don't think it will work as it will try to validate the turkey gift card against au gift cards.

              You can also try from this link

              https://www.netflix.com/YourAccount

              and then click on Redeem gift card or promo code (which should take you to the same link but means you are already logged in)

      Just a default marketing email. Click on "Unsubscribe" as useless unless you want to resubscribe to Turkey and be cancelled again. :-)

    • M00Cow on 29/03/2024 - 19:13

      yep I've had a couple, I wonder if they deliberately cancelled subs, trying to convince people to pay $au, then after a month, they figured let the rest back in so we can at least get some $'s from them?

      anyway all it has done in our household is to try out Stremio & Real Debrid. between that, D+ in turkey and Arr+Usenet setup there's no going back.

      • G-rig on 29/03/2024 - 19:23

        Nah it would just be automated and sent to the last subscription (email and currency) you were using I reckon.

        Stremio going great, bought another 6 Months. Not sure how cheap it would be on too many devices. Works great and not limited to Netflix only which is a lot better to start with.

        • M00Cow on 29/03/2024 - 19:37

          yeah maybe, but what got me thinking that way was the above comments about georestrictions being removed. previously I could only log into my account from Australia, it simply wouldn't accept my credentials when using an OS VPN. But now it lets me log in and wants to charge me in TL via Turkey (but 230tl/mth for 4k).

          But maybe they're not related

          • G-rig on 29/03/2024 - 19:53

            @M00Cow: Hmm true. Could try it but no doubt they'd just kick you off again, not worth worrying about them, VPNs and gift cards every month.

            Like you said no need with Stremio now :)

    What I decided to do was just buy 75TL gift card and reactivated my account. This cost about $3.80 and gave me 2 weeks, was geo blocked so waited out the month and bought another 75TL and again have another 2 weeks and am now not geo blocked.

    This works out well for me as I don’t watch Netflix much and can easily buy a gift card when there’s something that interests me

    Will see if they ban me again.

    • Irishness on 02/04/2024 - 09:24

      so essentially pay 75TL to clear the geo block then buy giftcards & add monthly, normal service resumed for now

    • G-rig on 02/04/2024 - 09:48

      So how do you know not geo-locked? Works without VPN? They will be able to see you're streaming from Australia without the VPN on, so it's only a matter of time until they do an audit again, but you may be alright for a while.

      • Irishness on 02/04/2024 - 09:59

        Netflix aren't stupid they are well aware what's going on & how people circumvent their systems, I'd bet after multiple Turkey price increases they decided to have a big cull & then likely analyse how many users they lost versus signups to the users actual country, remember they have a record of device mac address etc. Also by taking away the simplicity of paying by card many won't bother with the hassle of the giftcard route & I'd bet Netflix would rather have the hardcore paying for their service somewhere (though many went stremio route) than lose them altogether. This also doesn't mean they can't tighten things further in the future but I suspect they'll wait and see but I suspect this isn't the end of it

        • G-rig on 02/04/2024 - 10:09

          Correct, giftcards and VPNs are only a band-aid solution (and an inconvenient workaround a best). Agree that they are aware and not stupid so will do a cull again and start blacklisting users.

          If they weren't so greedy they should be doing a price drop - may entice some users back. Anyway I'm not interested in it, Stremio+RD is much better and haven't looked back. Much more variety and better quality.

  • XxBargainHuntaxX on 03/04/2024 - 22:07

    They’ve knocked me off as well now - resubbed with Turkish gift cards but can only watch with VPN on. Netflix doesn’t really offer enough to be worth this hassle. Will let it run its course then hit the high seas once gift card runs out
