  • This depend on if the netflix [handle the URI activation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/handle-uri-activation). If it handled you may need to know the detail protocol, not the one you think about, you may need to ask the netflix team. On my side , I even cannot see one movie since I don't have an paid account, I don't think this can be directly launched. – Sunteen Wu Feb 09 '17 at 06:08

Since the Netflix App is written in WinJS its easy to read through the Code.

There are 5 Commands I found:

  • browseVideoId
  • playVideoId
  • searchTerm
  • viewDownloads
  • findSomethingToDownload

So to execute them use following Code:

await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(@"netflix:/app?playVideoId=12345678"));

I recognized, that if Netflix is not opened it only starts the App. Calling the same Code again, then executes the command. Still figuring out a way to solve this.

To get the Id of the Series / Video you want to browse / play open it in your browser. In the sample Link I provided you are looking for the (in my case 8-Digit Id) I replaced by videoId:

https://www.netflix.com/watch/videoId?trackId=00000000
