I have my Note4 locked to Portrait and Netflix doesn't cause my screen 
to rotate.

Having given the Android Netflix a whole heap of praise the App does 
have a few twerks as does everything I guess.


When you’re playing content the controls such as payse etc seem to 
disappear with Talkback though I’m sure they’re on the screen.


I can get around this by using the transport controls on my Bluetooth 
keyboard which I do have with me most of the time regardless of what 
Smart Phone etc I’m using so yes that’s a small thing to be aware of.

Is there an easy way to get to the audio description setting in the Android
app.  Doing it on the PC is a nightmare.

Lock orientation on the i-devices, and forced rotation shouldn't
happen.

Looking for a program

[Donald L. Roberts]

I need help from other listers to locate an audio recording program 
whose name I can't recall which I lost when a previous hard drive went 
south.


This is an audio recording program which was very bare bones and would 
only produce .wav files.  The thing which made it unique is that it had 
some sort of a built in automatic gain control which did not just 
increase or decrease the volume at a fixed rate.  It was extremely well 
suited to voice recordings whose volume level fluctuated widely.


Thanks in advance for ideas.

Not yet as they just were made available for pre-order yesterday. I have one of 
the 64gb models on order and should have it by next week hopefully.

Hi!

Does anyone have one of the new Apple TV devices? I'm thinking about 
that being one of my purchases early next year.

Re: Netflix Android App

[Mary Otten]

Well, I briefly looked at the Netflix app on my Nexus last evening, and
I must say, I didn't find the deal where you can swipe left and right
to different categories and up and down within them to work. But I
wonder if that might depend on your talkback gesture settings. For
example, the default set of gestures has left and right swipes for
previous and next item, and up or down swipes for the same, a silly
duplication of gestures on a device that is already limited in the
number of gestures you can use with the screen reader, but that's a
different post. It is customizable, so those gestures can be reassigned
in talkback, which is a great feature. So, the question: Dane, did you
change your talkback behavior for swipe up and swipe down to be
something different than the default of prev/next item?

Re: Netflix Android App auto rotate lock on i-device

[Mary Otten]

Go into the control center and you will find the "lock
orientation" option there.

Re: Netflix Android App

[Mary Otten]

Well, at this point, neither on my iPhone nor on my Nexus, can I find a
category list, aka genra list. I thought there had been a button for
Genra at some point. And I do remember there was a time when I could
move among genras on my iPad. But at least it is still accessible on
the apple tv.

On my iPhone, the Netflix app does not force my screen to rotate.

I hope you find what you’re looking for but more importantly I hope you’ve 
learnt a most valuable lesson, backup your computer and that’s not hard to do.

RE: Netflix Android App

[Tom Kaufman]

Something that is worth considering (although it doesn't do anyone who has no 
vision any good) but I would think that watching a video in "landscape mode" 
probably looks better; this is probably why the default may be that way; just a 
thought!
