Plug-in works with NZ Netflix, which started March 24, 2015 as near as I can tell.
Only issue appears to be MP doesn't have focus when you stop playing. There may be something already in here about that I haven't found yet.
Thanks for the good work.

    Try to enable "Keep MediaPortal always on top" in MP settings: Startup/Resume Settings

    I use mp always on top. It gives me another issue. Many Times when i try to Play Netflix content it Opens behind mp. So i have to close mp to see browser player.

    Hi Ministerk,

    i updated today online video to final version 2.
    I can now browse original series like other ones.
    The problem is that i can not Watch anymore, when trying to, i just get a white screen fro 1 or 2 seconds then comes back to browsing...
    I tried to clean IE, but no more luck.

    Any idea ?

    thanks again !

    edit : i forgot to say that i tested dirtectly on Windows and it works perfectly !
    I had the exact same problem after installing OV2 but the solution given by Ministerk solved the "problem" for me.

    - a new online version this night ?
    - erasing settings while uninstalling OV

    That seems logical, because Netflix is played outside MP, correct? Then always on top for MP looks not like the right setting to me. Because I use an external player for 3D BR media, I can't use that setting anyway. When I close Netflix I press the green button on my remote and that brings MP back in front in my situation.

    Edit: OK Ministerk (below), that makes that clear.

    Edit2: "hide taskbar in full screen mode" seems for me the best choice after some testing.

    I use the always on top feature. The browser player/online videos hides mediaportal and restores it when stopping playback.

    Hey guys,

    Great work done here, though I unfortunately can't get it working. I can login through online videos, i can browse movies and select one to play, then it switches to internet explorer so I can see my desktop or an opened page for a short time, then there is a loading screen with rotating dots and then I'm back in online videos. So it's only playback that doesn't work.
    I updated silverlight and checked all your suggestions from first post. If I try to watch directly in browser it works alright. I'm running Win8.1 with IE 11 - my country is germany.
    Did I miss anything?

    Hi Guys

    I've just subscribed (free first month) to Netflix here in Australia and installed the Netflix site into OnlineVideos and it's not working for me. I'm basically getting the exact issue as described here except i am running Win7. I've read thru this entire thread and nothing has worked.

    Was there an exact solution to this issue that i've missed, or any further steps i can try?

    Thanks in advanced for your help.

    Hi,

    This is really hard to pinpoint what kind of problem you're having, can you report with logs?
    Read the Still does not work? part of the opening post carefully (disable spinner, enabling browser debug logging).
