    Hi.
    You should be able to run plugin with search capability.
    You will not be able to authorize, because Netflix is not supporting API in Europe.

    Hi MightyPolo,

    I still can't link your plugin with my netflix account. I can now enable the plugin, and in mediaportal i can search movies, but not play them.
    i'm aware that some of the movies that are show are not available in my country, but if i choose movies or shows that i know i can Watch, they still won't play.
    when i click a movie/show to play, it immediatly says i'm done watching.

    would it help if you connected to my computer via teamviewer so you could see what happens, or what log files should i send you ?

    Hey everyone... I modded MightyPolo's DefaultWide skin files so this will work for StreamedMP in full 1920x1080 resolution. Not sure if I did everything correctly, but it works on my computer. Files are attached. Just add to your StreamedMP skin folder.

    As per my comment to you the control is a GUI control so it is in MP and will be on whatever window MP is on. I had issues witht he IE control but it came down to timing of the disposes in the UI. I need to track for handle leaks but I believe I have the timing correct. I think it is the interaction with direct X compoents as the control is winforms rendered by direct x.

    Hi.
    You need to disable always on top setting in MediaPortal, then player will be shown.
    If you need to get back to MediaPortal, just press big green (windows) logo on your MS remote.

    i think you are misunderstanding
    he cant authorise his account
    therefore, the video wont play
    this is not an always on top issue

    look back at the previous conversations with him
    he cant link "authorise" his account
    you advised him to skip that step and browse the catalog
    however browsing the catalog dosent have much value if your account is not linked as you cant play the movie

    there is an issue on some systems with linking
    i also had an issue on 1 of my 4 systems
    as previously posted
    the only way i resolved it was to copy the netflixalpha db from working system

    Hi.
    In some countries, as far as I know, you are not able to authorize to netflix api service (API is supported only in US & CA) and sadly, there is not much anyone can do.

    The only functionality left is being able to search catalog with US available content.
    Content which is available in you country will play.

    Sorry, again, there is not much that can be done.
    Ask your local Netflix to provide api for your country and I will enable plugin to use country for content search.

    Have a nice day.

    yes i understand
    BUT
    he cant link his account
    therefore he is not authorised
    therefore cannot play a movie

    you cant just go to netflix and play a movie without loggng in
    all he can do is browse the catalogue

    he cant play unless his account is connected/logged in.
