Re: [plugin] "My NetFlix" Plugin with Watch Now Support

It is remembering my credentials, as I can login to NetFlix from a browser, make changes to the Instant Que and then start MP, launch the plug-in and see the changes I made earlier. I am using RC1 Final, but just to be sure I reloaded it and obtained the same results.
Could this have anything to do with the 64 bit operating system Win7 Home Premium? I'm on a Sony laptop with MP setup as a client to my desktop running MP under XP. Not sure why that should come into play, but may help you to understand the hardware configuration.
Any other thoughts on how I can debug this?

Jonesdb,

I don't know if you've resolved this part of your question on not, but I had a similar problem with the login for the special web browser plugin that's part of My Netflix. My solution was to right click on the little web browser icon in the system tray and disable autokey and scripts. At that point I could login to netflix, then re-enable the autokey and scripts on the icon, and then the web browser would remember my login for next time. Note also that sometimes there are two of the web browser icons, and you may have to right-click on both and disable/re-enable.

Good luck.

Hey Sourcerer,
To make sure I understand, the spin control will let you get focus but when you hit the OK button the movie starts to play. Two things...

- Which skin are you using?
- In the Config, do you have the "Show Details when selecting an Instant movie" checked? (this option is on the Settings tab.)

Glad your enjoying the new version...

WileE. I am using Blue 3 Wide skin and I have "Show Details when selecting an Instant movie" unchecked.

Let me us some screen caps to explain better. In the example here, if I use the remote to highlight either of the arrows circled in red and hit OK on the remote, Pinocchio will start instead of moving to a different page.

jmvaughn,
Thanks for the tip. Disabling scripts and autokey did the trick. Took a little to figure out how to do that in Win7 as the icons were hidden by default, but it seems to have solved the "play" problem. No help with the put in instant que from TopPicks list though. Thanks again for the help.

Hey Jonesdb,
Im happy jmvaughn was able to help you with the other issue (thanks jmvaughn!) I have never had that happen, so its good that someone with the same issue was able to assist.

Your adding to the queue issue - Have you by chance tried the dll file from the zip file included in the first post? Maybe the installer is not replacing your old version. Try that and let me know if your problem persisits.

Thanks,
Wile E.

Thanks for the info Sourcerer. I think I understand the issue, I will look more into this week. I had to go out of town unexpectely last weekend, so I have not had much time to work on the issue. Sorry...

Re: [plugin] "My NetFlix" Plugin with Watch Now Support

Hi Wile E,
Since I am using the latest SVN of MP prior to RC1, the install was manual. I just went back and checked and all the dll's from the zip are the same as in the ...\plugins\Windows directory. Seems strange that it is only the TopPicks that I have an issue. Here is the error message in the MP error log:

inhowSearchMenu: Error adding Instant Title: Hancock<?xml
version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<status>
<status_code>400</status_code>
<message>title_ref is missing</message>
</status>


The following lines are in the MP.log:

Hope that helps to narrow the field

Hey Jonesdb,
Yea, the reason that the Top Picks area was affected is because I just added it a few weeks ago, and the 'hook' to NetFlix was not properly setup. The bug was found and, I thought, fixed in the 1.1 Final version.

Could you do me a favor? Try the attached dll and let me know if that resolves the issue. If so, then the only explination is I didn't update the dll in the zip package.

Thanks,
Wile E.

Re: [plugin] "My NetFlix" Plugin with Watch Now Support

Sorry. The attached file acts the same way. The attached file is the same size as the one in the first posting zip, just different date/time stamp. Same behavior.

Is anyone else experiencing this same behavior? I cannot replicate it in my environment...
