[QUOTE="WileECoyote, post: 837024, member: 83474"] No worries, your not being a complainer, just dont understand how things work. Let me explain... In order for ANY system to connect to Netflix servers, you (the user) MUST first give said software authorization to do so. This is required because lets face it, the plugin would be of no use to you or anyone else unless it connects to Netflix to get your Instant queue, Disc queue, etc... As with the first version (1.x) of My Netflix, when you create an account it connects to Netflix and if the credentials are Okay, Netflix sends My Netflix back a token to use to access youe queue information. This information is stored on your local computer in a database in the MP folders, so whenever you access your queues, it send the original token along with the request to get the information. 1.x was also created to connect directly to Netflix to get your information (Instant Queue, Disc Queue, etc.) on the fly. So when you hit the 'Instant queue' option in the plugin, it would then connect directly to Netflix to get your information. This can be VERY slow if you have large queues. All that to say this.... The myReelTalk website and the 2.0 version of the My Netflix plugin is the next 'evolution' of the plugin. The myReelTalk website was created mainly be used by Netflix users (non-MP) to share information with friends and family via FAcebook, Twitter or Google+. It also cache's your information so it can be accessed quicker in a local database. This is a benefit so you can access all your queue information on multiple clients. Since the website has all the features most asked for in the 2.0 version, I decided to use it as the backbone to the new plugin. I understand many people on MP will not want to use the 'Social Networking' aspect of myReelTalk and only want to use the features of the My Netflix plugin, which is great as I am trying to please all audiences here. But creating an account is required simply to store your Netflix token information and to cache you queues. Please keep in mind that NO INFORMATION will be shared unless you want it to be shared. Dont authorize Facebook or Twitter and nothing will be shared. Also, just as FYI, the 2.0 plugin is accessed via an SSL webservice, so all information sent back and forth is secure. I hope this answers your question or you at least understand why an account is necessary. Wile E. [/QUOTE]
