Another Google platform with little to no support only a year after its release? I am shocked, shocked. This has never happened before! /s

In all seriousness though, have you contacted Netflix support? They have seemed really responsive in the past.

Yes, that's a seriously annoying bug. Turn off auto-play in your settings and it will fix it. Not in the player, but on the actual netflix web site, log in and check out the "Playback settings", and you can turn off auto-play. Voila!

Just try out the Wii U version, it can be worse.

I don't know what that is but when Netflix got movies working in the browser on Ubuntu I was amazed and very pleased.
