This is an update to an old post, but to watch Netflix streaming content behind a Fortigate FortiOS 6.2 (possibly earlier) the Fortigate Inspection Mode to be in FLOW mode (Policy & Objects, IPV4) rather than proxy.  Curiously some services e.g mobile and browser will work in proxy mode, but others e.g. Netflix apps on Roku Player, Sky Q box, ... will not work.  The symptom is that the content appears to be loading (spinning wheel) and at 24% (in my case) an error pops up "We're having trouble playing this title right now. Please try again later or select a different title."    Setting my Fortigate back to Flow solved the problem.
