Can anyone here start a Netflix show on their Shield TV using their Google Home?

This was announced a long time ago and every time there's an update, Nvidia taunts me that this feature is here but it still doesn't work!

Mine I have to say twice.

First, "Hey Google, play Friends on Netflix" (my home mini is configured with Shield as default device for video). This opens the show on Netflix, but won't start it. I have to say "Hey Google, play" in order to start it.

Yes. 'Ok Google, play friends from netflix on tv". This works, but I am unable to play next episode with "play next episode". This I use it for YouTube to play next song but as of now it isn't working for me on Netflix.

To get mine too work I had clear the data on the Chromecast built in app, go into the Google home app and reassign it to the correct room, and uninstall and reinstall updates for the Google app and then use a voice command to activate the assistant.

My only problem now is when I try to get it to play something on Netflix it opens the app and goes to the show and I have to give the command "ok Google play" before it will actually play the episode.

I think this feature is only actieve in the USA and maybe in the UK as well but not in other countries?
