Thanks for writing up a install guide for the Netflix Manager plugin. I hate to say it, but you have the two IDs mixed up. The ID found in the cookie goes in the "Cookie ID" field and the one found on the RSS page goes in the "Shopper ID" field.
Also, only the public feeds are meant to be added through the configuration. The queue and the recomendation feeds are hard coded in to the first two buttons. The feeds entered into the config will show up when the user clicks on Browse.
Clicking on Refresh Queue shows your queue and you should be able to move and delete movies there. When you are browsing other movies, you should be able to add them to the queue.
Please switch your IDs and tell me what happens.

hobbes487: that worked, I can now move movies to top of queue and delete movies - great!
You need to change the labels on the configuration dialogue - what you have labeled as "Shopper ID" should be changed to "RSS Feed ID" and what you have as "Cookie ID" should be changed to "Netflix Shopper ID."

Thanks for letting us know about that Hobbes. I'll change the Install guide when I switch to the computer that's running mediaportal. Then I'll try it out. It sounds like it's working!
About the Queue being hard coded, I didn't even know that. I would click on Refresh Queue and it would seem to just sit there, probably because I had the ID's backwards or something.
Hopefully this will get things running really good. Good work! Like Zswamn said, it might be handy to change the labels on the config dialog, just to avoid confusion. I honestly believed that I had it correct! Thanks again Hobbes
OK- Switched computers, switched IDs and things are working much better! I can move and add, didn't try to delete yet. There is only one thing that doesn't seem to be working-- The Remove button in the Config dialog. I tried to remove the feeds I didn't need, and they would not remove. Aside from the formatting tags and I noticed the "e and & weren't showing up right, everything else is GREAT!

I have posted an updated version http://www.htpcsw.com/MP/NetflixManager.zip
I just made a few adjustments to the configuration.
rayrob,
in your screenshot of the config, you have the queue rss listed which it should not be. This may be confusing for others.
