[Original Thread] "My NetFlix" Plugin with Watch Now Support (1 Viewer)

[antgash]

sadly i'm still not able to launch in fullscreen. but i'm over it for now... but i was wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to browse categories... that would be the shiznit. sorry if this has already been covered in this forum. don't have time to read all the pages.

Hey Antgash,
I'm sorry you are still unable to launch fullscreen. I wish I could reproduce your issue, that would help in troubleshooting...

As far as the browsing by categories, are your referring to instant movies only or any movies? If you are referring to just instant movies, that ability is already available. I will add the functionality to search for any movie by category as well...

really?? yes, i'm only talking about the instant watch. i see the search ability, new releases, and recommendations, but i don't remember any of them listing categories... i'll have to give it another try when i get home from work, i guess i missed something. but yea, i'm talking about like how it is on the netflix site when you go into the instant watch, it lists all the categories (horror, sci-fi, tv-shows).

and maybe you should fly out to california and troubleshoot my system... haha j/k
thanks for tryin' to help tho!

If you click on Search it will pop up a menu. Click on Search Instant by Genre and it will show you the categories you can search... ( Sci-fi, Comedy, Action, etc...)

Glad I can provide you something in light of the scripting issues

thanks for the info & super-fast reply!

Update....

I have uploaded the RC1 version and it is ready for download. The new version has a few small bug fixes and also has the following new features...

- Search for Actors
- View Actors for each title (under the context menu)
- Rate movies in the At-Home queue. (This was there prior to this version, but was not announced.)

Try the new version and let me know of any issues. When we work out the few remaining bugs I will submit the plugin to MP.

Thanks,
Wile E.

14. Remote Functions (Play, Stop, Rewind, Fast Forward, Pause, Episode Skip)

Hi let me first tell you i love this Plug-in...but am having some problems with the function mentioned above...I am using the Silverlight Netflix viewer on you custom brower to view Netflix movies of MyNetfilx RC1 with the StreamedMP skin...and currently don't have a remote..I can exit the Video with alt-f4(I think thats it) and pause with the Enter or Page Down key, In order to Play an Instant Film i need to hit f9 and select play...But functions like Play, Stop, Rewind, Fast Forward, Episode Skip seem to be unavailble to me?

From what i can tell the Remote buttons for these function are mapped to

Play (P Button)
Stop (B Button)
Rewind (F5)
Fast Foward (F6)
Pause (Space Bar)

Does this sound Correct? But using Any Combination of these keys or any other ones then listed above seem to do nothing...

Any suggestions would be Amazing

Hey Ridewithme,
I was playing around today trying to map keys to the Play, Pause, etc functions. I will see if I can get something out with the final release that will work.

In trying to simplify installation and conform to MP standards, I have uploaded an MPI installer file on the first post of this thread. It will install the plugins dll's in the plugins\windows directory, install the skin files in their respective directories, and will install the Remote scripts in the plugins\Netflix_Remote directory.

With this method, all you have to do is double click the MPI file and it will prompt to install. If you have installed previously, it will prompt to re-install. Follow the prompts, its easy as that...

I hope this makes it easier for everyone.


P.S. This version also includes lookup's for directors, as well as allowing you to rate titles in your Instant queue... Also, the DVD Queue now only shows the format in which will be delivered (i.e. if the black dot is there, DVD will be delivered... If there is a blue dot, Blu-ray will be delivered.) If you wish to change the delivery format, you can do that in the context menu.

Ping Ixian,

Odd. Had to go to Netflix a few tim,es before it prompted me to install Silverlite. It runs now, just the remote doesn't control anything.
