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Sorry this account is no longer active.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.

              @G-rig: Was done after the fact as won't be returning and interested to what is contained (which is an awful lot of info). You can do it anytime even if membership is cancelled as account remains.

              • G-rig on 01/03/2024 - 11:12

                @Borg: Yeah I downloaded it, don't really care and have no use for it. The point is Netflix are a bit more clever these days and have wisened up to all these tricks.

          • CodeXD on 01/03/2024 - 11:08

            @Borg: Thanks, I've been following this thread since I created it and it is the first time anyone has mentioned it here before.

            I've already signed back up to Turkey premium membership with gift cards and will do some testing to see what is going on. If that is the case then it truly is dead and only something I've found out today or maybe they only started implementing it today.

            • G-rig on 01/03/2024 - 15:16

              @CodeXD: See how you go otherwise I recommend the alternative setup.

  • Sharp on 01/03/2024 - 08:11

    I reactivated netflix Turkey but this time they cancelled password sharing.
    Testing stremio with real debrid now to replace all my streaming services but is there a way to categorise Discover, like Netflix, Disney, prime etc?

    • CodeXD on 01/03/2024 - 08:26

      What do you mean they cancelled password sharing?
      Are you getting an error saying it cannot be used in this location? That means you are geolocked and will still work if you use Turkey ip address, last around 30 days.

      This is normal for new membership signup (yes, it counts as new membership even if you've had TR Netflix in the past but Netflix cancelled it)

      • Sharp on 01/03/2024 - 09:53

        No. it's not geolock. I and my nephew were using it with VPN after reactivation but he just got a message the other night saying "Your TV isn't part of the Netflix household for this account". So no more password sharing of Turkish Netflix.

        • CodeXD on 01/03/2024 - 10:04

          Interesting, this is the first report of Turkey Netflix implementing household IP address restriction.

          I'll need to check if my account is the same, not sure if I have access to multiple turkey IP address via getflix VPN but will investigate later tonight.

          EDIT: I had a read and it appears to just be a warning message, can you click continue and watch as normal?

          • Sharp on 01/03/2024 - 11:23

            @CodeXD: No. There are two options:
            - Update Netflix household
            - I'm travelling (which sends me an authorisation code for his temprorary access)

      Yes, you set up all the services you want when installing the RD plugin to Stremio.

      Then you can hit that discover button and there's a pulldown under movie which has all the services (just checked on phone now), or just searc.

      • Sharp on 01/03/2024 - 09:58

        when I search "RD" in community addons it only finds Terrentio RD, which I already have. Isn't it in community addons?

        Edit: I found Streaming Catalogs addon, it kinda does what I want. I can select the streaming company under catalog (Popular, New, Netflix, HBO etc)

          Yeah it's all in the Reddit guide, I just set it up the same way, just select the services you want.

          It's in the CyberFlix Catalogue add-on, look in the settings there afterwards too (if you want to change or add services) and it directs you to the webpage setup.

          • Sharp on 01/03/2024 - 11:32

            @G-rig: Thanks. Cyberflix is near perfect.

  • this is us on 01/03/2024 - 11:12

    Got my TR refund from Netflix. Streamio and RD operating, installed in my Android TV following reddit guide… It's actually much more practical. It'd be interesting to see if that's positive or negative for Netflix shares in the long term The next pool should ask if we moved to an Australian subscription or not. I don't believe most people who got it cancelled will be paying AU monthly fees.

    • shivaussie on 01/03/2024 - 16:18

      Can you share the reddit guide to install on android TV?

    • Lemond1977 on 01/03/2024 - 21:46

      Once you have setup one device on Stremio, very simple to add others

      I paid for an Australian account. Netflix is watched by the wife, non-English shows, so I CBF trying to Usenet or whatever the latest fad is now to try and find the obscure stuff she watches. My movies I just download when I want to watch them.

    • Pricebeat on 02/03/2024 - 14:25

      I tried it after reading comments. It’s good for the price but leaves much to desire, in regards to sound not matching with the video or the music is too loud and can’t hear the actual dialogues on couple of videos I tried to watch.

      • this is us on 03/03/2024 - 00:02

        You must be selecting poor quality torrents. I've watched a few movies, one of them a 4k, and episodes, no issues at all.

    just set up Stremio + Torrentio + RD and i'm blown away by how good it is for ~$52AUD/year, it really is a game changer. replaces the need for any of the non-sport related streaming services completely as it has them all in one package!

    couple of experiences i'll share with Stremio that i hope may help someone:

    • Stremio for iOS: once you have set up Stremio the way recommended by the reddit link, this guide works great on iOS using RD+ links with Outplayer app installed on your ios device.
    • Using the Stremio app directly i find great, but you will get audio issues chromecast-ing directly from Stremio app to a chromecast. Not all streams but most will have a no-audio issue i found. If you have CCwGTV or you have a SmartTV the better solution is to install the Stremio app directly onto those (once setup is done) instead of 'casting' - however if you only have a dumb TV + older chromecast (as in my case while i'm staying with friends) this isn't an option. the cord-less solution - for Android is to install VLC and check the setting to start videos in external player (VLC) then you can chromecast from VLC, for PC once the video starts click the 3dots then Watch on VLC, then you can choose Playback>Renderer to cast from VLC (optional Unified remote can then remotely control PC with phone etc)
    • G-rig on 01/03/2024 - 18:18

      Nice write up, I feel the same way it's way more than I was expecting. Also it's worth having a media device or TV app instead of casting from the phone (there is no need for it these days). Can recommend the CCwGTV and it works very well.

      For my device I found these settings improve it immensely (from Reddit), but I'm sure it could be applied to other devices.

      What do you do for sport? And the ability to replay of you can't watch it live e.g. EPL

      • Borg on 01/03/2024 - 19:12
        +1

        For EPL or the likes, anothed option is FootyFull with a VPN initially connected to UK, and then cast to preferred device which seems to take the stream, even though it has no VPN.

        Kodi with umbrella and RD has been a treat. Especially with arctic horizon 2 skin. N3ver had any issues with 4k DV and HDR content like buffering or black screen with hybrid files. On the other hand Stremio buffers a lot with RD cached content.

      • Lemond1977 on 01/03/2024 - 21:43

        Try IPTV for sport, I use one and it works pretty well for that.
        Converted to Stremio + Torrentio + RD though for Movies/Series pretty impressed by it

        I use Kodi + The Crew or Mad Titan Sports plugin to watch EPL and NBA/NFL etc. All of them sideloaded on Amazon Firestick 4K Max

        Stremio add-on MediaFusion 3.7.5 is worth a look - Sports catch up and some live channels.

        https://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/comments/1bhz781/medi…

        Testing it now, integrates very well.

    • SBOB on 02/03/2024 - 22:57

      Are there ever sport replays on there, such as F1?

      • Borg on 02/03/2024 - 23:16

        You could easily add a F1 D/L link so its avail for you at your leisure i.e. there are places that you can D/L replays of F1. Rather than direct D/L, just add the torrent url to RD if that makes sense.

  • Roe Jogan on 01/03/2024 - 18:12

    Not only turkey netflix but also my turkey photoshop and not only did they cancel it they charged me 172 dollars for the aus 1 year membership without my consent, i did a charge back with my bank and reported the card stolen told them i never authorised that, hopefully they dont win the damn case.

    • tessel on 02/03/2024 - 07:37

      Are you talking about the Adobe $1 a month or something deal? I received an email stating price would increase and if I want happy to cancel immediately before price increase.

      All that confused me as well, I think it's only about the subscription duration. Got a month to test, but will get 3 months once that's out.

    For those new to Debrid and don't know much about it- you can paste into it torrent/magnet links, to non-copyright material of course, and it will leech your files or if it's already on the Debrid server, you'll get a full speed connection to it instantly. So, it's great for privacy because your debrid host downloads the torrent/magnet file and you just direct downloading a file from your host.

  • Roe Jogan on 02/03/2024 - 16:27

    more info for the android app for tv viewing (vodaphone tv box): big files take a while till it starts playing, i mean 4k 60gb to 100gb bluray files on tv take 10 sec to 35 sec till it starts playing, 50gb and under files start playing in 5 to 10 secs. anything under 30gb plays in 3-5 secs for me. the huge 90gb ones are actual bluray copies high quality high bitrate 4k. you haven't seen 4k like this though if the only 4k you watched is that shit from netflix which is washed out 4k with very low bitrate. this is true 4k so i dont mind waiting a few seconds longer till it start playing.

    these times do not apply on ios devices the lag only happens on android tv app or windows app, meaning i opened a few 80-90gb files in the ipad and man it started playing in 5-8 seconds. im not surprised as the ipad is running a m1 processor, thats processor is known to out perform a desktop i7 so no surprises there.

    • CodeXD on 02/03/2024 - 16:30

            @CodeXD: lol i thought everyone was on the same page, this post is no longer about netflix, we are all here for stremio,

            a great app indeed, this app essentially combines all popular streaming stuff in one app, you can select, netflix or amazon or apple tv or hbo max and all others. thats very high quality 4k stuff, with a one fee that you are paying, 27 dollars for 6 months, you can keep adding another 6 month you dont have to wait till the end of the 6 month, so if you want 1 year its like 53 dollars aud. just hope nothing gets blocked or non of the debird services get shut down for years to come.

            Edit: to anyone experiencing errors while playing large file movies on android, make sure hardware acceleration is on, and if still running into problems, download vlc, and go to playback in settings, choose external player, after that select any movie to play, it lets you choose which player, choose vlc, then choose always.

        for me I put the VPN profile in the router, and add the ip address that need to go through VPN
        this way I dont need to run VPN app in each media device

        Since all my home TV devices run through the same VPN network they are all treated as the same home network

    Hey guys, the whole stremio / real debrid / torrentio setup, The real debrid adds a vPN component to the data being streamed right? So does that mean i can set it up on my laptop and use it at work during lunch? I used to watch netflix during lunch or one of the other streaming sites, was wondering if i can use this as well or if it will still show up as torrenting. Which in itself isnt banned at work but it will look suss if it comes up as torrenting.

      you are going through the realdebrid servers so similar to going through a VPN servers really depends if realdebrid servers are flagged by your IT department which really depends on what they are monitoring / restricting. Using realdebrid does not mean you are watching illegal content & it would be difficult to prove

          Just try it and see, works for me. Seems like a pretty newish set-up.
          Also as far as I know you're streaming cached files from their servers, not the open waters.

            @G-rig: not new just becoming more mainstream / popular and yes files are not directly accessed from the high seas but through realdebrid secure servers

              @Irishness: I run RD through my own VPN for peace of mind. Works a treat.

                @Cineaste: yeah understood, though most won't bother paying for RD & a VPN an added level of security sure, hey you don;t even need to run through RD but there are pros/cons of not notably cost v security/buffering/speed

          • lonewolf on 05/03/2024 - 12:55

            @G-rig: yeah just did it, works fine so far. I dont have my own VPN besides this lifetime getflix vpn from years ago that i never used and i dont know if its around anymore even. What do people generally use for VPN these days? NordVPN seems to get mentioned on ozbargain a lot.

            • CodeXD on 05/03/2024 - 12:57

              @lonewolf: Getflix is still around, I used it to sign up for Netflix Turkey with gift card when this whole fiasco started.

              Getflix android app also works on CCwGTV so even tho the netflix account is geolock I can still watch on TV.

              • lonewolf on 05/03/2024 - 12:59

                @CodeXD: Is that the subscription based getflix or the lifetime membership option they had for a while? I think people said the lifetime version ended up being a cut down / inferior version once they had enough people join. I heard the non lifetime version is better.

                  @lonewolf: I'm on the lifetime version

                  Status: Lifetime with subscription
                  Subscription Expiry: Jan 1, 2100

                  • lonewolf on 05/03/2024 - 13:01

                    @CodeXD: oh really, so maybe i should try it out again. Did you find it slow?

                    • CodeXD on 05/03/2024 - 13:02

                      @lonewolf: Nope, no issues, I have premium subscription but I watch netflix in 1080p as that is what my TV supports. It starts off in lower quality but fixes itself within a few seconds.

              @lonewolf: Yeah I got Nord, just wait till you see one of those 96% cashbacks, pretty cheap. Don't really use it much, and wouldn't bother with RD either to be honest. The occasional show has buffered but Easy enough to find a different stream.

              @irishness ahh no worries, got it!
