Netflix aware of 'This title is not available to watch instantly' error in Young Sheldon and Locke & Key; 'S7111-1311' Mac error acknowledged

Netflix is one of the most popular media streaming services with millions of users worldwide. It offers a wide range of movies, local content, and original shows.

Serving a huge audience is not an easy job and for a service like this occasional bugs are something that are almost unavoidable. Two new issues making Netflix streaming unbearable have recently come to light.

Some users are complaining that they are getting an error message while playing shows such as Young Sheldon and Locke & Key, while some Mac users are complaining of error S7111-1311.

Young Sheldon and Locke & Key are among the popular shows on Netflix that gradually came to light due to their catchy storylines.

However, lately, some users are facing issues (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) when watching these shows on Netflix.

When trying to watch Young Sheldon or Locke & Key, they get an error message that says ‘This title is not available to watch instantly. Please try another title’.

In related reports, some users also revealed that Netflix is throwing an error message that says ‘This title is not available in your region (GB)’ even though the shows are already released. Here are some reports for reference:

Need help was watching young sheldon on netflix yesterday and today and now it’s comming up as null and null, anyone know a fix for this as i tried the clear cookies thing and i’m from UK (Source)

@NetflixUK trying to watch Episode 10 Locke & Key and all I get is, ‘this title is not available to watch instantly???? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled, everything else works fine except for this. Whats going on? Same happens on my phone & tablet (Source)

On the brighter side, Netflix has acknowledged the issue, adding that they are currently working on a fix.

In the meantime, there’s an unofficial workaround that affected users can try ahead of the official fix.

Had the same problem but managed to get it to work again. Go to help section on the app, click reload and it should work now Smiling face(might need to do it a couple of times) (Source)

As for the other issue that says the title is not available to watch instantly, it seems that Netflix was already aware of it. The company has listed troubleshooting steps on its official website for this bug.

If you are getting this error message, it means that data stored on your device needs to be refreshed and it can be fixed by either updating the Netflix app or by signing out and back in.

On the other hand, some Mac users are complaining of an issue with Netflix where they get ‘error S7111-1311’ when opening Netflix in Safari.

@Netflixhelps hello, I have error S7111-1331 on my computer (Mac). I have the last MacOS update available, already tried to access netflix by typing the URL in safari and deleted the cookies but it still doesn’t work (Source)

Due to this bug, Netflix is inaccessible on Mac and not even deleting cookies fixes the issue. Fortunately, Netflix has acknowledged this bug too and it is also under investigation.

We hope that all these ongoing issues with Netflix get sorted out as soon as possible and users can again access the service without any hiccups. That said, we will update you as and when any further developments take place on this subject.
