Netflix for OnlineVideos (10 Viewers)

[cehes]

Ok, i can now give you a real feed back about your plugin in France.

since your last update, there is quite no more navivation problems (some weird unable to connect to site and user/password not ok) but this is mostly great.

some improvement idea :

- About film information would it be possible to have it when the film is choosen, then you'll have to parse only this one ?
- On mediaportal i use dynamic refresh rate that avoid micro freeze when watching pictures. With a TV that handle 24/25/30 Hz this is really great ! Netflix is not part of mediaportal but is there a way to achieve this goal ? Or at least when netflix is called it will go to a default refresh rate (because it is the last one that is used)


now about netflix, to help people to decide to have netflix or not, this is not about your great work ministerk !

- HD : i'm quite disapointed, this is not really HD, and my internet connection is real19mega ! there is still some aliasing and big pixels
- 5.1 : no 5.1 with Silverlight, i read it at netflix site, really a pity... i hope this will soon change.
- choice : no recent films (in France we should wait 36 month before a film can be streamed !!!) but many series i guess we can find many new things


Last thing ministerk, do you have a donate link ?

Jason, could you add logging to
voidOnNewAction(Action action)
so we I can see if the actions from WifiRemote come here?

Unfortunately the standard MePo logging doesn't seem to work very well from the BrowserHost, but I could build you a debug version which logged to a known folder for testing purposes. I probably won't be able to do this until later in the week - I'll message you with a new build then.

 

[johanj]

That sounds great, thanks!

Yeeeeees - Finally a working Netflix implementation in Denmark. So you can add this as working to your list.

But I have no working controls on my remote (using cec-remote). Can only use keyboard - Any idea why this?

Wouldn't it be easier to use the HTML5 playback of chrome? So nobody needs to install silverlight.

I made a small investigation earlier.

I took a look at the BrowserPlayer code and it seems like "GUIWindowManager_OnNewAction" on line 109 should send keystrokes using
"System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send" I didn't see any logging in that file, could you add a log line so we see what are sent?

The actions arriving to the methods are the one expected but since it does not match ACTION_KEY_PRESSED nothing is sent. But if it is not use well I assume you don't need logging in this case.

I also debugged the BrowserForm and no events from WifiRemote.

Now it's time to get the kids into bed.[DOUBLEPOST=1412449455][/DOUBLEPOST]

The exact same problem that johanj having.
EDIT: I read HECo remote.. not cec. But it might be related with johanjs problem since it cec also is a plugin remote.

Yes it would be nice, but the BrowserPlayer is a part of OnlineVideos and this is why I use it. Furthermore BrowserPlayer only uses standard .net components, no need to rely on third party library or applications (e.g. no need to install Chrome ).

Yes this is planed. (Earliest next weekend)

On mediaportal i use dynamic refresh rate that avoid micro freeze when watching pictures. With a TV that handle 24/25/30 Hz this is really great ! Netflix is not part of mediaportal but is there a way to achieve this goal ? Or at least when netflix is called it will go to a default refresh rate (because it is the last one that is used)

The only advice I could get you is to set your display rate to the one Netflix uses (PAL/50Hz in France?) and also set this refresh rate as the default in dynamic refresh rate settings (enable Use default refresh rate). This should be enough i think.

Waouh ! Perfects replies!
This is great to know that we will have infos about films.
And I have never noticed that there is a default refresh rate where mepo will revert back after each end of videos. You're right, 25/50 is the correct rate

Thanks for being so present to help us.

Are you to shy to answer to my question about donate link ;-)

Oh, forgot to answer that one. I haven't got any donation link, I'm not doing this for the money only for karma
