USING HIDDEN URLS
To use this trick, you'll need to be logged into your Netflix account on your PC, rather than your Smart TV or hand-held device. As you browse, you'll notice the URL at the top will look something like this: www.netflix.com/browse/genre/7852.
That little number at the end is the genre code, and you can pull up a lot of different genres just by changing it. Here is a list of codes we've found online for various categories:
- 46576 - Classic Action & Adventure
- 9584 - Spy Action & Adventure
- 7700 - Westerns
- 5507 - Animal tales
- 67673 - Disney
- 11177 - TV Cartoons
- 32473 - Classic foreign movies
- 1402 - Late night comedies
- 10256 - Slapstick comedies
- 10005 - Religious documentaries
- 7018 - Political documentaries
- 6384 - Tearjerkers
Just from this sample you can see that there are several different sub-genres you won't find from browsing through the main menu. And this isn't even half of it. The list goes on, and on.
When using this trick, keep in mind that Netflix is constantly reorganizing its catalog of movies. That means you might occasionally come across a URL code that doesn't work. But, this is still an easy way to pull up content you wouldn't otherwise find.
