Netflix plugin (NetflixAlpha) (1 Viewer)

[MightyPolo]

Guess I am on my own. Uninstalling the MCE addin didn't help. I had some codec pacs installed prior to installing MP. I will try uninstalling them too.

I would try to reach Netflix support, bacause it looks like problem of silverlight and their player.

What about other browsers, do they behave the same way?

I think maybe you misunderstood....my browser (IE11) works fine. It's only the plugin that has the problem.

Iam currently running MP on windows 7 x64 with IE11 and there is no issue so far.

I am running win 7 x32. Are you running MP 1.6?

HI the player is standalone application. MP 1.6Pre running on Windows 8 dev machine.

Found URL dealing with problems with silverlight http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2710013 if you didn't find it already.

That's what I thought. You are probably using the same API as Microsoft was for their add-in and I had the same problem when I was running MCE. When I checked with Netflix support they told me that the MCE add-in was no longer being supported. So when it would stop working I would do a system restore to uninstall the last windows updates and then it would start working again so I just assumed it was somehow related to the browser version. I have not tried that yet. I was hoping your app would work with the latest updates. There must be some other update that is somehow affecting it on my system. I will try uninstallling the last updates and see if that fixes it.

Thanks for trying to help.

Hey Guys,

Can any of the skinners (or users) please test something for me, I have added experimental support for trailers via the Trailers plugin. You can add the Trailers button to the Details view or main list. Trailers is currently only supported for Movies so you might want to hide the button conditionally.

If you're not sure how to add the trailers button you can look at the skin designers guide:
https://github.com/damienhaynes/Trailers/wiki/Skin-Designers-Guide

The Trailers plugin is attached below. Preferably if a skinner that already has used the plugin and also can use Netflix can report back

I don't have Netflix installed nor is it supported in Oz as far as Im aware, so any help to nail some bugs would be much appreciated.

Hi when trying to install this i get this error? "This version of plugin requires Mediaportal 1.5.100.0 or newer!"

I've just installed the latest update from the website. Is this a bug or are there a even newer version out there of MP i dont know of?

Install is successful, but when I press "Link" to enable my account I get this error:

Anyone knows the problem?

Hi.
The plugin uses Netflix API which is supported only in US and CANADA locations.
Other locationes differs from state to state, some allow to receive authorization token, others dont.
In case of Norweign it returns "Bad request".

I think its elsewhere in this thread.
Here you can find official claim. http://developer.netflix.com/forum/read/159352

Its same with other countries.

Netflix has their private api, which their inhouse applications uses, but this api is not open to developers.

As of your question regarding Netflix WS, this service can offer you titles that were just added to Netflix catalogue (and genres sometime later). But becouse you cant authorize, it is no use for you.

Double sorry
