change dedicated netflix remote button?

Is there anyway to reassign a diffrent app the the netflix button on the remote control?

 

I dont use netflix and have no plans to!

 

I would prefer this button load up PLEX or KODI instead.

 

Is this possible?

It's a bundled app - you cannot remove it. If this was a phone then you could root the device and then remove it but I don;t know of anyone rooting the TV yet

For me, the app took care of this. It was the first question after starting
the app. I haven't checked if the app is removed or not but it is working
for me.

The button now starts Kodi in my case but as i remember i could choose from
any installed application.

Maybe uninstall the app and then reinstall (maybe clean cache before
uninstalling?). Sometimes starting over from scratch does the trick.

Just my 2 cents...

hi,

 

tnx for tips but unfortunatlyu doesn't work. I try reinstall app before and now and clean cash before uninstal, but nothing.

If I not stop or blocking netflix before start app, the app say: please go to next screen and deactivate netflix and then come back, and when I press OK app is crash... and say something :" unfortunatly app is crash please close it...or something like that"

If close netflix and disabe ti before start app, app is doing its work and let me chose which program to choose instead netflix but then is nothing going on. When I press netflix button is nothing, no netflix no some other app ( I try several apps)

 

I no idea any more...

No idea's here neither. Maybe contact the developer of the app, he might
know what to do.

Hi @Budhi108

 

Have you tried a full factory reset of your TV?

Hi, I not try factory reset yet.

 

for now I do not mind so much for Netflix button that  make factory reset for that. Someone on the topic wrote that he had problems with the picture quality due to factory reset, so I'm afraid to experiment.

I made soft reset but nothing is change.

 

thx for advice

HI there

 

If you write down all your picture settings before a factory reset, then you can simply re-do them afterwards.  Ive started creating a spreadsheet with the picture/sound settings etc (which is a work in progress), which can be found HERE - it could save you time :slight_smile:

 

Cheers
