[QUOTE="mrmattmc, post: 864581, member: 123551"] Is this thread still alive? Well here I go with some feedback. Its a little long winded, but hopefully informative. I am new to MP and over the last few weeks have gone from discovery to modifying skins to my own needs. All in all great fun. All of my my media is now accessed through MP with the only holdout being Netflix. I use the PS3 and other than the dependency on the PS3 network have no real complaints except that my other media is not available to me. MyNetflix Plugin 1.4.1 I was able to throw together a customization for Black Glass Nova HD that works great and looks good. Here is a link to some early progress I was making. I stopped progress while trying to find a cure to the tvseries issue. [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/wip-help-with-a-skinning-problem.107706/[/url] That forum post says it all. And as it turns out it seems to be the one of the primary reasons for revamping the plugin. MyNetflix 2.0 Alpha Following the setup instructions I was able to get this working on a Win 7 64 bit os with no problem. I understand this is an Alpha release. As I toyed around in 2.0 in the defaultwide as well as a new customization for Black Glass Nova I noticed a few things. Note:I have high speed cable @ 30MB. The background fanart image and the video preview window are slow to load. I also noticed that no art would load until you hovered over an episode. Returning to the same episode and the art loaded fairly quickly, however, when you went to another tv series that art would be stuck on the previous series until art was found for the new series episode you were hovering over, if new art isnt found then you end up looking at art for another series alltogether while browsing episodes for the new series. Overall the fanart seems hit and miss. Perhaps I have a fanart plugin thats messing this up. I have Fanart Handler and Latest media handler enabled but neither seems to feed art to netflix, least they have no setting too anyway. Personally, I would prefer covers and epsiode covers to the video preview window. Random background fanart is cool but being able to switch it off and go with posters would also be nice. These do not seem to work. Probably just an Alpha thing but thought I should point it out as I was trying to get cover art to load for series in my customization with no love. #episodecover #detailcover I know there was an in depth discussion a while back on whether the details screen should come up for movies and episodes. I know the jist of that conversation was no. I have to disagree. The navigation feels incomplete without the details. Perhaps make it a config option. Details Yes/No. I would strongly agree with the viewpoint that movie navigation needs to behave like mymovies plugin and tv navigation needs to behave like tvseries plugin. Navigation. In the 2.0 That I tested only the list view was functional. All of the left menu options did not work and I was unable to switch to filmstrip or thumbs view.
