Playlists and Netflix User Profiles

Hi All, 

 

New Sky Stream user here, just a question regarding launching Netflix shows from a Playlist. 

Say I add a kids Netflix show to my child's dedicated playlist and launch it through that playlist it will automatically start playing on my own personal Netflix profile rather then the dedicated kids profile. So my own profile ends out cluttered with kids stuff. Is there any way to make sure kids shows play in the kids Netflix profile when launched from the Playlist? 

TIA

Hi @BarmySpartan 

 

You can add a lock to your netflix profile to prevent use without a pin:

Sky OS will launch netflix, but it will use the last profile used unless you back out from netflix by selecting exit on the menu IIRC.

Re: Playlists and Netflix User Profiles

So I added some pins to the two adult profiles on our Netflix account. When I select a kids Netflix TV show from the kids playlist it takes you to the Netflix profile selection screen, click the kids profile but then just takes you to the home page of the kids profile rather than to the show itself which kind of elimanates the benefit of using the Playlist for Netflix shows. 

Not sure there's a clear cut solution to this one, yet.
