...However unless I am missing something there's no way to click that button with the remote; you have to use an actual mouse to do it. Otherwise you just press stop, which closes the browser, then you have to go find the next episode in the list, start the browser again, the volume levels reset, etc, etc. This make any sense, what I am talking about? Have you seen this?

I also use the skip forward button to move to a new episode. I think that may be what you are looking for Ixian.

You know I never tried the skip forward button so I bet it works. I'll give it a go tonight but if it works for other series I can't imagine it won't work for the ones my wife watches.

The really cool thing is you dont have to wait for the episode to end to use it. If I start an episode that is boring, <plink> I hit the skip forward and viola...

With regard to the sub-account related bugs, it looks like many are fixed but one remains. The sub-account DVDs at Home, Rental History, and Recommendations options now work perfectly.

The remaining problem is incorrect data being shown on the film details page. When a sub-account has been selected, and the user selects a film in the DVD queue, the details page shows the correct title and fanart from the selected film, but some info from the film in the same position of the master account's DVD queue.

Hey Jmvaughn,
I am still stumped on this one. I was playing last night, and did notice that somefields updated before others, but within 10-15 seconds all the fields updated (I should probably clear the fields before repopulating regardless.)

But now I am wondering if there is a bug that is causing the movie detail processor to crash before it is finished getting the details? Would you do me a favor and clear your logs, recreate the issue then send me your MediaPortal.log & Error.log files? That might help me pinpoint what is going on.

Thanks!
Wile E.

Please find the logs attached below.

Also, in case this information is of use to you, I had the same problem with the previous version of My Netflix. I have also tried it on two different machines, and with different skins, but had the same result.

Hey Jmvaughn,
I havent forgot about you. I've been busy working on a bug with My Email Manager. This is the last piece I would like to solve before I release version 1.1. I should have it resolved this weekend...


@All,
Deel was nice enough to create files for Blue3, and I think the Monochrome skin files will work well with Indigo. Am I still missing any skins? (besides MediaStream or XFactor)?

Wile E,
Did a lot of testing with RC1b and i discovered a few minor things you may want to look into.

1) If you search “instant series only” and select a series to view details with the “OK” button, I can then find no way to select the episode in that series. If you push play the first episode starts. Or any way once the list is returned to select individual episodes.

2) The number in the bottom right (5/20) showing how many pages of results are returned is displayed when you push “OK” to view details. Text on text. Seems like it should go away

3) If I go out of netflix and select another plugin from the main menu, like online videos, then return to netflix plugin the logo from the other plugin seems to follow and shows up above the text “netflix” on the main screen

4) Also, my error log, like I posted here, still seems to record the same errors when using the netflix plugin even though you provide, and I added, the “movieviewbg” file. Adding this file resolved my background issue but did not seem to eliminate the errors from being logged.

Hey Winterescape,
Thanks for taking time to test!

1) If you search “instant series only” and select a series to view details with the “OK” button, I can then find no way to select the episode in that series. If you push play the first episode starts. Or any way once the list is returned to select individual episodes.

There is a test version I made for Markrb on the previous page, a fix for this is in that version. It will be included in the next release RC2 (this weekend.)

2) The number in the bottom right (5/20) showing how many pages of results are returned is displayed when you push “OK” to view details. Text on text. Seems like it should go away

I will look into this issue. You are correct, the spin control should hide.

3) If I go out of netflix and select another plugin from the main menu, like online videos, then return to netflix plugin the logo from the other plugin seems to follow and shows up above the text “netflix” on the main screen

I will look into this issue.

4) Also, my error log, like I posted here, still seems to record the same errors when using the netflix plugin even though you provide, and I added, the “movieviewbg” file. Adding this file resolved my background issue but did not seem to eliminate the errors from being logged.

Yea, I left some 'scrap' in a few of the XML files, I will go back and clean those up to remove error messages.

Thanks again for the feedback. With all the major re-work Im pretty happy with the stablility. Like you mentioned though, there are a few little bugs to fix before we move on. One I have been working on recently is when you go out and return to the plugin, if you have list view selected it takes you directly to the item you last viewed. If you have any other view it either takes you to the beginning or somewhere odd in the list. This is a major annoyance for me and my daughter The other issue is one Jmvaughn posted about incorrect details from one user queue to another.

Thanks,
Wile E.

Will test all the features and fixes very soon...
Can you reproduce the logo issue? Is it unique to me? anything I can do to help?
