当您只想在后台播放某些内容时，Netflix 可能是默认的流媒体服务，但您可以使用(go-to streaming service)Netflix做的远不止这些。对于影迷来说，Netflix拥有大量隐藏代码和第三方工具，您可以利用这些工具来增强您的体验。
如果您厌倦了Netflix并感到寒冷，并且想看看流媒体服务在充分使用时的能力，请尝试这些技巧和代码来改善您的下一次Netflix狂欢。
利用 Netflix 代码(Take Advantage of Netflix Codes)
默认情况下，Netflix将其内容组织成不同的流派，但这些流派有时会重叠或过于宽泛而无用。好消息是Netflix拥有大量未公开宣传的代码。只需(Just)在浏览器中输入这些内容，即可查看更多特定类型的列表。
有很多类别代码，它们的范围从“西方”等宽泛的类别到“基于现实生活的20世纪 时期作品”等超特定类别。(Century Period Pieces)这些类别有数百个，但并非所有类别都包含内容。您可以在此处( here)找到完整的可搜索列表。
要输入代码，请输入Netflix.com/browse/genre/ ，然后找到您要使用的代码。/之后输入该代码，然后按Enter。例如，如果您想查找Absurd Comedies，您可以输入netflix.com/browse/genre/77213.
不幸的是，Netflix类别代码无法通过Netflix应用程序运行。这严格来说是一种仅限浏览器的黑客攻击。
使用正确的浏览器(Use the Right Browser)
很多人使用他们的标准浏览器来观看Netflix，但这可能不是最好的选择(might not be the best option)——无论如何，如果你想以最高质量观看的话。Chrome和Firefox（以及Opera，如果你使用它的话）的最大分辨率仅为 720p。
另一方面，Safari、Internet Explorer和Edge都以最高 1080p 的速度进行流式传输。具有讽刺意味的是，与Netflix 相关的附加组件(Netflix-related add-ons)最多的网络浏览器无法流式传输高于标准分辨率的任何内容。如果您的 Wi-Fi 不够强大，您的观看体验也可能会受到影响。为了获得最佳质量，Netflix至少需要 5 Mbps。
自定义您的建议(Customize Your Suggestions)
Netflix如此出色的流媒体服务的原因之一是它会根据您的观看历史了解您的偏好，并建议您可能喜欢的相关内容。你有多少次因为这个发现了一个新系列？另一方面，如果您只是查看节目或发现不喜欢的内容，您不希望Netflix将这些搜索视为您历史记录的一部分。
您可以清除继续观看(Continue Watching)队列并从观看历史记录中删除项目。转到帐户(Account)>我的(My) 个人(Profiles)资料，然后从列表中选择您的个人资料。向下滚动(Scroll)并单击查看历史记录(Viewing History)以查看您已观看的内容的完整列表。
要删除某些内容，只需选择剧集或电影名称旁边最右侧的隐藏符号即可将其从历史记录中删除。(Hide)然后， Netflix(Netflix)将自动调整您的观看建议，而不考虑该内容。
改善您的字幕(Improve Your Subtitles)
就像Netflix在子菜单中隐藏了自定义建议的功能一样，它对字幕也是如此。字幕的默认外观不是唯一的选择。如果您喜欢保持字幕，或者您是外国电影的粉丝，那么让字幕更容易让人看得更舒服是更好地享受Netflix的好方法。
转到帐户(Account)>我的个人资料(My Profiles)并选择您的个人资料，然后选择字幕外观。(Subtitle appearance.)您可以选择所有内容，包括字幕的字体和颜色、文本大小以及是否要为文本添加阴影，以及是否希望字幕显示为窗口。
完成自定义字幕后，选择保存。(Save.)
摆脱“你还在看吗？”(Get Rid of “Are You Still Watching?”)
像大多数人一样，你可能说过类似的话，“Netflix，假设我一直在看。” 《你还在看吗？(Are you still watching?)”提示作为省电工具存在，但默认没有办法禁用。
Chrome上的Never Ending Netflix 扩展( Never Ending Netflix extension)会禁用提示。此外，它还允许您跳过标题序列并按流派搜索Netflix。也许它最好的功能是它不允许Netflix在主页上自动播放预览，这一功能迫切需要成为基本阵容的一部分。
随时了解最新功能(Stay Current With the Latest Features)
Netflix不断发布新功能、设置和其他工具以使平台变得更好，但大多数人只有在重大更新后才知道这些功能。如果您想在Netflix上保持领先并参与平台上的早期功能测试，请注册成为测试参与者。
您可以直接从您的帐户(Account)屏幕执行此操作。转到帐户(Account)>测试参与(Test participation )并确保切换设置为开。(On. )这就是你所要做的。当引入新功能时，它们将自动供您自己试用。
学习键盘快捷键(Learn Keyboard Shortcuts)
Netflix无需依赖鼠标。如果您学习了该平台的基本键盘快捷键，则只需几下即可控制您的观看体验。您可以在此处(here)找到支持的命令的完整列表。
您将使用的最常用快捷键包括用于播放和暂停内容的空格(Space Bar)键、用于进入全屏的F和用于跳过介绍的S。
Netflix为您提供数以千计小时的内容，触手可及。随着夏天的到来，花一两天时间探索平台提供的所有内容，不要害怕探索正常内容之外的内容。通过使用类别代码，您可能会发现自己喜欢的全新类型。(entirely new genre)
7 Best Netflix Hacks and Codes
Netflix might be the default go-to streaming service for those times when you just want something on in the background, but you can use Netflix for so much more than that. For cinephiles, Netflix has a huge number of hidden codes and third-party tools you can take advantage of to enhance your experience.
If you’re tired of Netflix and chill and you want to see what a streaming service is capable of when used to the fullest, try these hacks and codes to improve your next Netflix binge.
Take Advantage of Netflix Codes
By default, Netflix organizes its content into separate genres, but these genres sometimes overlap or are just too broad to be useful. The good news is that Netflix has a huge number of codes that aren’t openly advertised. Just type in of these into your browser to see much more genre-specific lists.
There are a lot of category codes, and they range from broad categories like “Westerns” to hyper-specific like “20th Century Period Pieces based on real life.” There are hundreds of these categories, but not all of them contain content. You can find a full, searchable list here.
To enter a code, type in Netflix.com/browse/genre/ and then find the code you want to use. Enter that code after the final / and press Enter. For example, if you wanted to find Absurd Comedies, you would type in netflix.com/browse/genre/77213.
Unfortunately, Netflix category codes will not work through the Netflix app. This is strictly a browser-only hack.
Use the Right Browser
A lot of people use their standard browsers to watch Netflix, but that might not be the best option—not if you want to watch in the highest quality possible, anyway. Chrome and Firefox (as well as Opera, if you use it) stream at a maximum resolution of only 720p.
On the other hand, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Edge all stream at a maximum of 1080p. Ironically, the web browsers with the most Netflix-related add-ons can’t stream anything higher than standard resolution. Your viewing experience might also get slashed if your Wi-Fi isn’t strong enough. For the best quality, Netflix needs at least 5 Mbps.
Customize Your Suggestions
One of the reasons Netflix is such a great streaming service is that it learns your preferences based on your viewing history and suggests related content that you might like. How many times have you found a new series because of this? On the other hand, if you’re just checking out shows or you find something you don’t like, you don’t want Netflix considering these searches as part of your history.
You can clear your Continue Watching queue and remove items from your viewing history. Go to Account > My Profiles and choose your profile from the list. Scroll down and click Viewing History to see a full list of the content you’ve watched.
To remove something, just select the Hide symbol on the far right beside the name of an episode or movie to remove it from your history. Netflix will then automatically adjust your viewing suggestions without considering that content.
Improve Your Subtitles
Just as Netflix hides the ability to customize suggestions in a sub-menu, it does the same thing with subtitles. The default appearance of subtitles is not the only option. If you like to keep subtitles on or you’re a fan of foreign films, making subtitles a bit easier on the eyes is a great way to enjoy Netflix more.
Go to Account > My Profiles and select your profile, and then choose Subtitle appearance. You can choose everything from the font and color of the subtitles, the text size, and whether you want to give the text a drop shadow to whether you want the subtitles to appear windowed or not.
After you have finished customizing your subtitles, select Save.
Get Rid of “Are You Still Watching?”
Like most people, you have probably said something along the lines of, “Netflix, just assume I’m always watching.” The “Are you still watching?” prompt exists as a power-saving tool, but there is no way to disable it by default.
The Never Ending Netflix extension on Chrome disables the prompt. In addition, it also allows you to skip title sequences and search Netflix by genre. Perhaps its best feature is that it doesn’t allow Netflix to auto-play previews on the home page, a feature that desperately needs to become part of the basic lineup.
Stay Current With the Latest Features
Netflix constantly releases new features, settings, and other tools to make the platform better, but most people only find out about these features after major updates. If you want to stay on top of Netflix and participate in early feature tests on the platform, sign up to be a test participant.
You can do this directly from your Account screen. Go to Account > Test participation and make sure the toggle is set to On. That’s all you have to do. When new features are introduced, they will automatically be available to you to try out for yourself.
Learn Keyboard Shortcuts
You don’t have to rely on your mouse with Netflix. If you learn the basic keyboard shortcuts for the platform, you can control your viewing experience with just a few strokes. You can find a full list of supported commands here.
The most common shortcuts you’ll use include the Space Bar for playing and pausing content, F to enter full screen, and S to skip the intro.
Netflix gives you thousands of hours of content at your fingertips. With summer on the way, take a day or two to explore all the platform has to offer, and don’t be afraid to explore outside your normal content. With the use of category codes, you might find an entirely new genre that you love.
