Der TV ist die Erweiterung

aha, netflix schein "primären" monitor auszuwählen.
wenn du tv als primär setzt würde das funktionieren, aber vermute . . . genau das möchtest du nicht.

 

[zaubermaus75]

Stimmt. Der TV ist tatsächlich nur zum fernsehen, der kleine Monitor steht auf dem Schreibtisch, damit wird gearbeitet.

@zaubermaus75, if I understand you correctly you would like to open the Netflix BrowserPlayer on your secondary monitor (the TV) and not on your main screen? @Jason Pyke implemented a way to switch between monitors (I've never tried it myself since I only have one monitor). I think you do the switch by pressing the context-menu button (i on remote or F9 on keyboard) while watching Netflix. If this doesn't work, close MP and edit the OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe.config file (found in [MP-INSTALL-PATH]l\plugins\Windows\OnlineVideos). Look for this:

<setting name="CurrentScreenId" serializeAs="String">
    <value>0</value>
</setting>

And change the value to 1.

And as @mrbonsen mentioned there is a Netflix for OnlineVideos thread for further support (I "never" look in this thread or forum - no german skills...).

edit the OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe.config

I had first thought, after reading the english thread

 

[zaubermaus75]

That sounds like it could work. I'll try this in the afternoon.. I'll let you know the result
Plan B could be to set IE as default browser... I don't think I have too many applications that have to start the browser...

Yes, please do . Could you please try both with remote/keyboard and edit the config file, I would like to know how and if it works so I could add it to the FAQ in the Netflix thread.

When I start Netflix via MP the fullscreen stream starts on on the primary monitor .
When I press "i" on the remote I can choose between the active windows on the primary monitor, but everything remains on the primary monitor .
When I press F9 the Fullscreen stream changes to the TV. After that the remote only controls the volume.
I can then close the stream by esc. After that the remote no longer reacts in MP, only when I restart my MP .
In the config I have changed nothing. I can try it tomorrow, my timetable is late today - family problems
The browser will remain on the primary screen.
Do you have a solution for the non-functioning remote?

Thanks so far

 

[zaubermaus75]

Ok, I just tested what happens when I edit the config. For me it seems to be no difference in the behaviour.
Pressing F9 seems to be the solution. Then I have my Netflix on my TV, my browser on the primary monitor and after restarting it keeps being there.

Only the remote control does not work.

You just helped me a lot! Thanks @Ministerk Danke @mrbonsen

Sorry for late reply . I don't know why the remote doesn't work (the remote control part of the browser player is very hard to get to work for every user) . You could try to toggle the value of this property in the config-file:

<add key="EnableMP1SpecificRemoteHandling" value="true"/>

Try true and false.
