Netflix is one of the most popular streaming platforms in the world, and it allows users to create multiple profiles for different people or interests. This is great for families or households where multiple people share the same account. However, what if you want to transfer your profile to a new account?

Fortunately, Netflix now allows users to transfer their profiles to existing accounts. This is a great way to keep your viewing history, recommendations, and other settings if you're switching to a new plan or sharing your account with someone else.

Is Netflix still the best streaming platform?

Netflix is still one of the best streaming platforms available, but it's not without its flaws. In recent years, Netflix has been criticized for its increasing prices, its lack of original content, and its decision to cancel password sharing.

Despite these criticisms, Netflix still has a lot to offer. It has a huge library of movies and TV shows, and it's constantly adding new content. Netflix also offers a variety of features, such as offline viewing and profiles for different users.

If you're looking for a streaming platform with a wide variety of content and great features, then Netflix is still a good option. However, if you're looking for a platform with lower prices or more original content, then you might want to consider other options.

Some great Netflix alternatives

There are a number of alternatives to Netflix available, including:

  • Disney+: Disney+ offers a wide variety of content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic
  • HBO Max: HBO Max offers a library of HBO shows, movies, and original content
  • Amazon Prime Video: Amazon Prime Video offers a library of movies and TV shows, as well as Amazon Originals
  • Hulu: Hulu offers a library of movies and TV shows, as well as live TV

These are just a few of the many alternatives to Netflix available. If you're not happy with Netflix, then you're sure to find a platform that's a better fit for you. But if you still love Netflix and its original content, at least you now know how to transfer Netflix profile to existing account!

    Huh, I have never even seen this “font cache” pane; videos play at once for me, using VLC & XP SP3.

      Mike, in theory this should have only been displayed once to you, at the very first video that you played with VLC. The time this window is displayed depends largely on the number of fonts in your font directory.

        huh, I lucked out for a change?? Amazing!!
        Apparently VLC keeps this info through version updates, but I didn’t see this message after a fresh OS install about 8 weeks ago, & a new VLC.

    @Kishore, I’ll try your tips, but does this mean it will no longer show subtitles either?
    I do use subtitles, but the fontcache dialog box pops up (almost) everytime I play a file.

    Could this be related to the fonts I have installed? Or if I add/remove fonts to my system?

    I’ll try to do a fresh install also, if your tips does no work. I’ll post back here later…

    /thanks

    Try running LC with administrator privileges. That seemed to fix it for me

    I am using SMplayer 0.8.6 (64-bit) (Portable Edition) on Windows 7 x64. Even with the -nofontconfig parameter in place SMplayer still scans the fonts. Also, I have enabled normal subtitles and it is still scanning fonts before playing a video. Also, it does this every time the player opens a video after a system restart (only the fist video played).

    Does that mean that only instrumental versions of songs will be available for non-paying users?
