Netflix is the world’s leading media streaming platform that offers its users access to the biggest libraries.

Although Netflix provides a stable service, users in some cases may encounter issues when accessing it.

The Netflix Error codes M7121-1331-P7 and ‘M7111-1331-4027 usually occur if either the browsers fail to meet the playback criteria or if the cache contains corrupted data prevents playback. In some situations, these error codes also occur when the Netflix server is offline.

Before following any of the below-recommended troubleshooting steps, it is best to restart your computer. This refreshes the OS and removes any corrupted temporary data that may cause the error.

Use a browser that supports HTML5

Use only reliable and popular browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, when accessing Netflix. These browsers are officially supported, and HTML5 is enabled in these browsers. HTML 5 is the modern markup language and is used by nearly all popular streaming services. Make sure to enable it before accessing Netflix if disabled manually.

Go to https://www.youtube.com/supported_browsers to check if HTML 5 is enabled in your browser. 

Disable Chrome extensions

Chrome Extensions allow users to modify their browser’s basic features on certain (possibly all) websites. You can have trouble streaming Netflix on your browser if you have multiple extensions downloaded and enabled. You will need to disable all extensions, then see if the issue is resolved.

  1. Open the Google Chrome browser and type chrome://extensions in the dialogue box.

Checking Widevine Content Decryption Module

The Widevine Content Decryption Module is used for encryption and stable distribution of licenses globally.

  2. Go to the end of the page until a “Widevine Content Decryption Module” entry is found.
