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.

Disabling the option "Single seat setup: force RTSP usage" under "TV/Radio", "Advanced Options" resolved the issue. After I disabled this option, I was able to delete the recordings the first time...
