I figured it was an easy fix, but I have been extremely busy of late and have not had a chance to even look at this.

Yea, My apologies. As soon as I posted that I started searching for the source. Found the SVN. If I had more time i would fix it but my dev box is down and they keep a pretty tight control of the machines at work. Basically everywhere that the url has "WatchNow" needs to be changed to "Wi".

e.g

"http://www.netflix.com/WatchNowRecentAdditions"

is now

"http://www.netflix.com/WiRecentAdditions"

I would fix this but like I said can't use work machines for outside projects, my dev box is being rebuilt currently, and I don't want to install VS on my media pc just to compile a dll

OK - I recompiled the .DLL using VS2008 so I don't know if this will work for everybody. I used the DLL's from the 1.0.0rc2 as references, and it works on my PC here under XP SP3. YMMV.

BTW, I'd love the updated DLL from pauljghosh to get fixed. It had some nice features, like fullscreen on F9 / Info. I'd also love it to be able to hit the prev / next buttons on the Netflix Player...

Let me know if this works for everyone.

LOL. I'm sure you'll think of something.

I'd still really like to get the source to the "alpha" version in post #58... I really want the remote to be able to control the Netflix player.

Cool. I will be checking it out when I get home.

Not to be a pest.. is the source in the MediaPortal SVN?

Great Job and great work!!!

pharaohamps · 2008-09-05, 15:04

Not in the SVN yet, sorry. I'm still testing it here and there may be a couple more changes while I have it.

coolcash · 2008-09-05, 19:22

I updated it on my system with no luck. The odd thing was, it "kinda" worked one time, but when I tried to play a movie it asked me to login. I logged into Netflix and updated the cookie ID, updated WMP and tested a movie. Now when I go into Media Portal, my queue shows up, but the play now doesn't work.

Running 1.0.0.0rc2 on Vista Business.

Is WMP running in the background? Bring up the task manager and see if WMP is running. Do you have MP set to "always on top?" Is WMP set to automatically retrieve licenses? Did the old plugin ever work for you at all?

coolcash · 2008-09-06, 02:45

It never worked for me before.. but I just got into the whole media portal thing. Its just that nothing shows in the Play now queues or RSS feeds. I can see them on the web, but not in media portal.

I fixed the parsing problem. I checked the code into SVN.

Thinking in might be necessary to add this to the configuration to allow changes without recompiling.

Attached is the updated DLL.
