- Search for movies
- Add movies to top or bottom of queue
- Delete movies in queue
- Move movies in queue to the top

02/10/07 Updates:
- search feature has been fixed to work with 0.2.2

- selecting Watch Now will open IE and begin streaming
- when browsing search results, Watch Trailer is only available for movies with WMP trailers

DOWNLOAD:
You can get the most up to date version of the plugin in the download section here.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download Plug-In
2. Extract the files.
3. Copy "NetflixManager.dll" to
c:\program files\team mediaportal\mediaportal\plugins\windows\
4. Copy "NetflixManager.xml" to
c:\program files\team mediaportal\mediaportal\skin\BlueTwo\
***you can also copy it to your other skins
5. Start MediaPortal Setup, Go to Plugins, Right Click on Netflix Manager and click on Configuration.
At the top, you will find a box for ShopperID (or RSS FeedID) and a CookieID.
To find your CookieID, Open Firefox and Log In to your Netflix Account. Then Click on Tools--->Options and Click on the Privacy Tab.
Find the Netflix Cookie in the Scrolling Box. Click on the "+" and scroll down the list to find "NetflixShopperID" **Please note, this is not your "ShopperID" this IS your CookieID.
Copy and Paste the string of characters listed under "Content:" to the CookieID in the NetflixManager MediaPortal Plug-in. In Firefox, Close out the Cookies and Options Dialogs to return to the browser screen. You should still be logged in to Netflix.
To find your ShopperID (or RSS FeedID), in Firefox, Click on "RSS" at the bottom of the Netflix Web Page. Your ShopperID is the string of characters in the Personalized Feeds links after "id="
Copy and paste that string of characters to the ShopperID box in the NetflixManager MediaPortal Plug-in.
Then you can add any of the Public RSS Feeds listed for Netflix. Your Queue and Recommendations are already coded, so you do not need to add them. In the first box, Type in a Name for the feed. In the second box, copy and paste the link from Netflix RSS Feeds (should be open still in Firefox). Then click the Add button.
