    I think you can change screen by pressing F9 on your keyboard or maybe even the "context menu button" on your remote (typically the "i" button).

    If that don't solve your problem try to edit the OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe.config file (found in [MP-INSTALL-PATH]l\plugins\Windows\OnlineVideos)
    Change the CurrentScreenId value to 1

    XML:
    <setting name="CurrentScreenId" serializeAs="String">
      <value>0</value>
    </setting>

    Hope this helps!

    Don´t find the fix for download. Did i miss something or overread it?
    Either enable automatic updates in online videos plugin settings or manually update your sites inside online videos (open manage sites from the "hidden" main menu and there select automatic update in hidden menu).

    Hi Ministerk,

    Thanks again for the Netflix addin for the OV Plugin.

    I'm also running MP on second screen. I've set CurrentScreenId to 1 in OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe.config. When I select a video to play, the Netflix Spinner appears on 2nd screen, over the top of MP, then jumps to 1st screen, then vanishes. Then MP jumps to 1st screen and a warning message pops up saying World Weather Plugin can't get weather data (I know, hilarious right ☺). This sequence is completely repeatable. World Weather works normally otherwise. All other Online Videos play as required on 2nd screen. Netflix videos play fine in the App, IE and Edge. I can't use the F9/Info option to try and switch the video back to the 2nd screen, as it never actually starts. Anyway, that's a messy solution. Do you know if Jason Pyke created any other method for getting OV videos to default to a specific screen? (How do I tag members in the Forum?). I'll try and get you some logs as soon as I can.

    I know you do this stuff for "Fun", but as I've previously said, I'd be more than happy to donate if you let me know how?

    Cheers,
    Steve.

    Update: I've uploaded Watchdog Logs and completed the System Config details in my Forum Profile (Paul's Media Centre). Also, if it helps, I took a video of what happens. Can't upload it here though as mp4 files not accepted. If you want to see it, let me know how I can get it to you? :)

    For this test with Watchdog running, per your advice, I increased Webrequest timeout in OnlineVideos configuration and increased BrowserHostWaitTimeout in OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe.config. The video played, but still on the wrong screen. But I’ll call this progress :)
