So the controversy can start sooner?

This isn't some github project. This is proprietary software owned by Netflix. This isn't "the community" getting upset, this is a small group of people using closed source software in a way that wasn't intended. Most people using Netflix just use it the way Netflix wants them to.

- parineum 5y agoI am for open standards and accessible apis and support companies that provide those things. Netflix neither promised or delivered those things and it's extra work to maintain them. They don't owe anyone to maintain backwards compatibility on the undocumented public facing apis. It's unreasonable to expect Netflix to deliver a feature that they have no interest in providing and never promised to. I use a lot of software that relies on apis like that and it breaks constantly, that's just the way it goes.
