Die Site What’s on Netflix pflegt die schöne Kategorie Netflix Hacks. Hier findet sich ein Beitrag, der erläutert, wie man im Katalog an Kategorien herankommt, die offiziell nicht ausgewiesen werden.
Dazu verwendet man die URL www.netflix.com/browse/genre/[Code], wobei [Code] als Platzhalter für die diversen Kategorien dient.
47147 ist beispielsweise der Code für klassische Sciencefiction und Fantasy, was den Link www.netflix.com/browse/genre/47147 ergibt. So weit, so einfach. Aber funktioniert es?
Das Angebot ist nicht in jeder Kategorie üppig
Erfreuliche Antwort: Ja. Wenngleich die Ausbeute in der Kategorie etwas dürftig ist. Die vier Filme 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Wizard of Oz und The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes wird angeboten. (Ich habe mein Netflix auf Englisch eingestellt und weiss nicht, inwieweit das die Auswahl beeinflusst.
Trotzdem: Eine sinnvolle Zusatzmöglichkeit, sich Netflix zu erschliessen. Klar, man muss die URL über den Browser abrufen und hat die Kategorien am Apple TV und an anderen, Netflix-tauglichen Settopboxen nicht zur Verfügung. Aber man kann sie sich auf die Merkliste setzen und sie dann über die am Fernseher abrufen.
Dutzende von Kategorien, für fast jeden Geschmack
