Two Netflix Accounts, One Box

by natloh

I just picked up a Mi Box and thought I was a happy camper. Everything seemed to work well in addition to it being a chromecast (which I already had and adored). However, it looks like it is not really a chromecast as you cannot cast Netflix if your phone is logged into a different Netflix user account. Is there a way around this? I would like for my roommate or friends to be able to cast without having to logout and back in on the TV or without using my Netflix account.

Short answer: no way around it. This is one of the frustrating things about Netflix on Android TV devices, and one of the reasons I still keep around a Chromecast alongside my NP. I don't really know why Netflix was given this special treatment, and not, say, Hulu.

Pursue your question with Netflix as this is only tangentially applicable to your device.
