Netflix plugin (NetflixAlpha) (3 Viewers)

[[Inspected] [Entered]]

Hi Pavel

Thanks again for your interest in my problem.

Below is a larger chunk of the log file. I really don't know what I am looking for...
If you are asking what was on the screen, I had opened the NFalpha plugin and asked it for recommendations. I have signed up for the API service too, and have no problems until yesterday.

No problems with Search, New Choices or the Instant Queue.

Hi MightyPolo Thanks for creating this plugin, it's awesome. As a person with no programming skill, I really appreciate what people like yourself give to the rest of us. Sadly, Mediaportal and the netflixalpha plugin are crashing for me when I attempt to access the recommendations page. Here's the error message from the MP error log:

[2014-03-12 19:20:19,223] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - Error while fetching recommend queue Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source [2014-03-12 19:20:20,853] [Error ] [5 ] [ERROR] - Queue was not initialized or passed to background thread!

Let me know if I can provide any further info/logs. Thank you

Hi I confirm that this issue exists and its badly handled in plugin.
Problem is, that netflix api returns empty response

<recommendations>
  <url_template>http://api-public.netflix.com/users/XXXXXXXX/recommendations?{-join|&amp;|start_index|max_results}</url_template>
</recommendations>

This is how it use to be

<recommendations>
  <url_template>http://api-public.netflix.com/users/XXXXXXXX/recommendations?{-join|&amp;|start_index|max_results}</url_template>
  <number_of_results>200</number_of_results>
  <start_index>0</start_index>
  <results_per_page>25</results_per_page>
  <recommendation>
    <predicted_rating>4.8</predicted_rating>

    <link href="http://api-public.netflix.com/catalog/titles/movies/60003388" rel="http://schemas.netflix.com/catalog/title" title="Snatch"></link>
</recommendations>

There are no recommendations for me to!

Thanks for looking at this for me.
A minor problem to an otherwise very useful plugin.
All the best!

Hi again,

I haven't touched anything, but suddenly cannot start this plugin

I have version 0.1.2 you posted in this thread installed running on MP1.6. The log message of note is this:

[2014-03-10 13:19:43,390] [Error  ] [MPMain   ] [ERROR] - OnMessage exception:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at NetflixAlphaPlugin.NetflixAlphaMain.OnPageLoad() in C:\Users\pavel\Documents\Development\VS\NetflixAlpha\TestPlugin\NetflixAlphaMain.cs:line 200
   at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindow.OnMessage(GUIMessage message)

I can view netflix on this PC. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin.

Ideas?

Reinstaling Titan skin will help.
You can do this in extention installer.

I done this in other case, when fonts in whole MediaPortal got realy BIG.

Anyone else have this problem? I just renewed my subscription.

Iam missing netflixalpha.log file. Do you use lates RC? Please find it on previous pages.

From what I can see you get forbiden response from netflix api when requesting instant queue.

Do you use US account or other?

I didn't know you released an RC. That seemed to do the trick. Also I'm using a US account

Hi.
Yeah I wanted to test that version thoroughly because there was lot of changes in code.

Next version will be released on first page.

There will be improvements in player and also ability to resolve seasons from netflixalpha web service which should fix problems with missing seasons in case of some series. There will also be minor bug fixes..

So now is your problem fixed?

 

[Game_dude]

Yeah, though I noticed when I click on my instant quite I still get that "Remote server" error. But selecting custom genres everything works.
