These error messages have been there for quite some time and as with the previous errors, these ones have also been documented in the official Netflix website.

What causes the Netflix Error codes M7353 and M7363-1260-00000026?

Like mentioned before, these error messages are related to several different reasons. Some of them are listed below:

  • You are using Private browsing or the page needs to be refreshed.
  • You do not have sufficient storage on your computer. Netflix uses storage on your computer temporarily to load videos and then stream on your browser. If there isn’t much storage, the playback will not work.
  • The Widevine Content Decryption Modules is not updated or is disabled.
  • The Components in your Chrome are not updated to the latest build available out there.

Before moving on with the solutions listed, make sure that you have an active internet connection and have administrator access on your computer.

1. Emptying Browser’s local storage

The most important reason why the platform generates these error messages are problems with your local storage on your computer. Like mentioned before, Netflix requires some space at your hard drive to keep its video streaming going. If you do not have any extra space, it will not stream any kind of video.

In addition to cleaning freeable space on your drive, you can clear by performing a disk cleanup. After cleaning your disk, restart your computer and try launching the platform again.

  1. Press Windows + E to open the file explorer, click on This-PC, and select the drive which you want to clean.
  2. Right-click it and select Properties.
  3. Once in properties, select the General tab and click Disk Cleanup.

2. Clearing cache and data of the browser

If you have enough local storage on your computer but are still receiving the error message, you should try cleaning the cache and data of the browser. The browser is the primary platform which streams Netflix and if it has bad cookies or browser data, you will not be able to play any movies. We will clear this bad data and then try again.
