Sorry for the late reply, and thank you both for your help! I tried disabling "Test participation" as well, and now everything works fine!

But I now have one more question though: I usually control MediaPortal using a Hama MCE Remote, and I now figured out how to control the Netflix plugin within it, i. e. to skip forward and how to pause/play. But, how do I control the volume while watching? I haven't found a working key neither on my remote nor on my keyboard for this, and I can not access the bar at the bottom of the screen with a mouse since I see none.

Thank you one more time for your help and Ministerk for your great work!

    I don't know why this doesn't work for you. I use an original MCE remote where you can program the volume keys to control TV or amp volume. There have been discussions about this earlier in the thread i think. You can try to enable master volume in Volume Settings. Next release of Mediaportal (1.11) have an new reworked General HID handling, this might help you also.

    Same thing to you @CountZer0 the new (MP 1.11) HID handling might fix your problems. How have you configured your remote now? If you have enabled the Microsoft MCE settings can you try to enable Hid also?

    Hi there,

    for some weeks i have a strange problem, only on some videos (orange is the new black and marco polo, for example) : it is listed with no problem but when i want to go inside i get "Error getting dynamic categories" and then i have nothing.
    I'm now totally unable to watch these series for weeks !
    I tried to go Inside using my tablet, to be sure that i have no problem with my netflix account and this is ok.

    Any idea ?

    thanks !

    Both those series are "Original Netflix" series which are presented in a different way on the web site. I don't follow/watch any of those series so I can easily miss changes on those series.

    They might test a new version of "Netflix Original" content presentation, can you try to disable "Test Participation" in your settings, and see if this changes anything (https://www.netflix.com/DoNotTest?fullpage=true)?

    You could also try to disable all extra features, eg descriptions and watch now (in online videos netflix settings).

    I will check if I have the same problem as you tonight.

    EDIT: Is it "Original Netflix" or "Netflix Original"? :p

    Hi, Thanks for the good work!

    When I search for films, I never get any results. Otherwise Netflix works. I use multiple profiles. Does anyone have any ideas what might be amiss?

    Site might have changed. I will look at this tonight. You can test if the any of the things mentioned in the post above yours helps.
