With new series, cartoons and movies such as Narcos exclusive to Netflix, as well as other 3rd party programming being added monthly, Netlfix seems as necessary as any household utility. Allowing users to share their account with friends and neighbors has only increased their market share and deterred potential competitors from entering the online video streaming market.
Latin American Netflix users are finding more and more programming available in Spanish. While Germany and France have recently approved of Netflix entering the European market. Netflix is no longer a U.S. product, although still largely an English language product.
As streaming media technology has improved, so have the standards demanded by today's consumer. Much like iTunes once locked users into using their own file format and devices, Netflix is still seen as an online only video solution for people who benefit from fast internet connections. This is also quickly becoming a thing of the past developers, coders and application creators find new solutions to take Netflix global.
CaptureStream recently announced the addition of their latest application allowing users to record from Netflix, convert their recordings to compatible file formats and resolutions, and export their videos to their preferred mobile devices.
This will open up new viewing experiences for Netflix users who are traveling, or need to conserve precious bandwidth on their mobile devices. The application works by capturing the Microsoft Silverlight stream after Microsoft's Play Ready DRM has produced the image to the user's desktop, once activated the Netflix video will be captured in the background of the user's PC.
The CaptureStream team has also been working hard on several "Netflix hacks" to improve the users viewing experience. These include incorporating Netflix Search code's into the users Chrome browser, allowing users to search hidden categories without having to manually type the sub-category code.
Another one of their new Netflix hacks is called the "Netflix Party", this Chrome based application allows users to remotely watch videos together, the video is synchronized in such a way that both users will be watching the same video output at the same time. The Netflix Party also incorporates a chat box so that the fans can chat with each other non-intrusively while enjoying their movies.
Their most popular application for Netflix is a 3rd party development called Tunnel Bear, Tunnel Bear allows the Netflix users to view the Netflix library of another country. U.S. users traveling abroad can view their libraries in English while Spanish speakers can opt to access Spain's or even Mexico's Netflix library. This has been highly popular among U.S. civilian contractors and military personal serving overseas and is free for basic usage.
