Hey WileE, before you leave us for good could you maybe point me in the direction of how to fix the StreamedMP skin bug Cinnabon and I posted about above? Looks like just a texture is missing.

Hey Ixian,
Dump the contents of this zip file to your StreamedMP folder. It looks like they got rid of the "fanartoverlay2.png" image in their package, so I just set the XML to use the "fanartoverlay.png" file instead.

Let me know how it works...

Thanks,
Wile E.

Thanks WileE,

It sort of works, in that the overlay does indeed now appear, however fanartoverlay.png must be shorter than fanartoverlay2.png was because the top two entries in the movie list aren't covered.

I'll see if I can't simply dig up a copy of fanartoverlay2.png that they used to use which I assume must have been the correct height, if I find it I'll post it here, you could probably just include it in the plugin. Unless there is an easier way to increase the height on this thing.

Sad to see you go WileECoyote, but thanks for giving us a great plugin!

I just copied and pasted the top bar from fanartoverlay.png to fanartoverlaywidebanner.png to arrive at my new fanartoverlay2.png. I have to use the original MyNetFlix.xml, of course. This seems to be the right height for the overlay texture. Unfortunately, Netflix is currently in their maintenance window as I post this so the website and the plugin are not working, but it looks like it should do the trick.

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

Thanks Cinnabuns that one works perfectly. I can't believe I just used this for like the last 3-4 months with it missing

Hey WileE, if by chance you do maybe a "final" last wrap up of your project, could you include this file in it? It's a better solution than just using fanartoverlay.png itself since that one doesn't look right.

Thanks again!

Hey Ixian,
Here's the deal with the final build (and please dont think I'm being a jerk.) If no one takes over the coding for MyNetflix and hosts the 'backend' components, the instant search capabilities will need to be removed from the plugin.

I have been paying for the hosting since the plugin inception and in January I asked for a little help with the hosting costs and only a few people (Thanks JMVaughn & Mr. Reed) were kind enough to help cover some costs. The funds raised help me extend the hosting for six months (through July.) So, at the end of this month the hosting will be due which is why I was hoping someone would take over the coding/hosting. I would be happy to pay for another month to give someone time to get up to speed and host the backend components.... but unfortnately no one has stepped forward

All that to say, if no one steps forward the final build of the plugin will be without the instant search capabilities (Anything using the backend database.) I hope you understand...

Wile E.

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

Hey guys,
JMvaughn just asked a question I think I should share with the group. He asked if I would mind continuing to host the site for another year if enough money were raised to pay the renewal fees? In short, yes I would be happy to continue to host the site. The fees are around $85.00 a year (its a Go-Daddy hosting account with SQL Server backend.) So if a lot of people were to chip in a little, it would get you there quickly. But if we fall way short of the goal, I will be happy to refund the monies and rebuild a new version of MyNetflix without the Instant features.

The future of MyNetflix is up to you....

Thanks,
Wile E.

Wile E - Great to hear that you're willing to coninue hosting MyNetflix!
Please PM me instructions on contributing to the hosting fees and I'll send $10 to start you off.

I would like the PayPal link as well. The one on the first post of this thread is not working.
