Netflix’s constant rollout of new content makes it one of the best and cheapest forms of entertainment on the market. It’s affordable, easy to use and access, and is available on a ton of different devices and platforms. Netflix can be viewed on Smart TV’s, computers, tablets, phones, fridges, Internet browsers, and probably a few other things I’ve forgotten.
However, when trying to watch Netflix from an Android or iOS device using a browser, things don’t seem to work and you get the following error code and message: “Netflix error code F7121-1331 Pardon the interruption. This title is not available to watch instantly. Please try another title - 1044. This article has a few answers for you.” If you haven’t already checked, this is the same across each and every browser available on Android and iOS, so you aren’t going crazy.
Why can’t I watch Netflix on my phone using my browser? DRM! (Digital rights management)
DRM ‘aka’ Digital rights management is the main reason you can access Netflix from any of your mobile devices using your Internet browser. To explain things a little better, DRM tools are designed to protect content from theft and control usage, they can also be used on software and all types of multimedia content. It may come as a surprise to your but DRM protection has been around since the days of floppy disks. So it’s certainly not something new.
DRM protection isn’t the only issue causing Netflix error code F7121-1331. Missing Codecs are also partly responsible for not being able to play Netflix content from a mobile device’s browser. Codecs have also been around for ages and are used to encode and/or decode digital media streams and signals. They come in thousands of different varieties as well, which makes them quite a complicated aspect to add to the mix.
Note: Even if you are using Firefox and other browsers that have DRM support, Netflix still won’t allow you to playback content from our Android or iOS device from our browser.
So is there any way to force playback of Netflix content on mobile devices using a browser? Sadly not at this stage...
Unfortunately, there isn’t currently a single possible way to get Netflix to work from a browser on your Android or iOS device. All logical workarounds don’t have any effect on the DRM and codec blocks. The only probably (untested) solution would be to use a custom operating system. Perhaps there is a custom ROM out there that will work on your device and allow DRM and Codecs to function properly. This isn’t exactly the answer you were looking for but at least you can save yourself some time trying to figure out a solution.
