Is it possible to watch Netflix in Media Portal and if so how well does it all work?

    Ideally, I'd like it to start the Windows Store Netflix application, with a Netflix icon the same size as Movies/Series/TV :)

    I think this could be possible by the "App Launcher" plugin: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/applauncher.131116/#post-1140507. The icon is not on homepage though, but it's only one more step :)

    Only question is if the Windows store apps can be started by an ".exe" path? I didn't look into this yet. Maybe this article is useful: http://windowsitpro.com/windows-8/opening-windows-8-apps-command-prompt-or-script

    Was just trying to get a better WAF you see :)

    I'll test it out this weekend. I did do a test install to run cmd.exe, but I haven't investigated how Windows Store apps are run. Will report back soon.

    BTW, while I've got your attention, why is the "Playlist" option in every menu under Settings?!

    This is an often discussed question :)

    My last answer on this:
    This action is defined to appear everywhere. In settings it's confusing, I agree.
    I already have thought to place it only in "home" or media views.

    Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :( MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...
