Hi, I've got a google nest mini and I've just connected my TV to it. I've been able to turn on netflix through my nest, but when I tell it to play a tv show on netflix, it says "I also need to know which device to use. Try saying that again, and include the device's name." Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue? Would appreciate any suggestions!

You could try setting your "Preferred TV" to your TV via the Google Home app. That is supposed to work, though I think this feature is a little buggy. (I'm currently having a different problem, but related to the same feature).

Hey folks,
Thanks for the help, JJsomanytabs!
erinrx, did you link your Netflix account to your Google Home app? If not, try linking it first using these steps:
After linking, you can start playing a TV show or movie with voice commands like "Ok Google, watch Orange is the New Black on TV," all of your next control commands (pause, next, etc.) control that particular TV. You don't need to continue to specify the TV after the viewing session begins.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Alex
