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

Okay a few things after poking around for a few minutes.

First there wasn't much for me to browse, most of the options didn't display anything though I didn't test it in depth. Also the interface seemed to be lacking elements, is there a log somewhere that i should provide?

I was able to get Recommendations to show up and launched a show (IT Crowd Season 1 Ep 1) which brought me to the netflix login page

http://www.netflix.ca/Signin?nextpage=http://www.netflix.ca/WiPlayer?movieid=70116817
this was a bit of a pain initially as i couldn't sign in as the a key on the keyboard was being captured (I'd assume by the remote) but I got past it.

http://www.netflix.ca/WiPlayer?movieid=70116817

Which brings up

Movie unavailable
Our apologies — the movie you requested is not available at this time.

I brought up "Rental history" and "Show Watched History" and saw the stuff that I had watched earlier today, and I launched one of the videos player launched and played properly.

So Summary

1. Player works if you can find a video to launch and are able to sign in.
2. It appears to be showing the american catalog not the canadian catalogue.
3. Most options provide no content

Netflix Top Pics - Does not display anything when you select it.
DVD Queue - Not needed as Canadians don't get DVDs
Instant Queue - Unless I'm missing something we don't even get to make an instant queue.
DVDs At Home - We don't get to have DVDs at home
Rental History - Should link directly to "Show Watched History" as it is the only one that applies to us.
Recommendations - Works but it is the American list, and some of the stuff on it does not appear to be streams but DVDs
My Ratings - Does not appear to work
Search - Appears to work but same problem as Recommendations.
New Releases - Should drop options 3 and 4 (bluray and dvd) does not appear to function nothing displays on the screen when they are selected.
Upcoming Releases - Should be dropped

Also in most cases the interface is empty and appears to be lacking content.

Thanks for the attention on this we all appreciate it.

Ignore previous post. I installed the DLLs in the wrong place.

just reinstalled mynetflix and replaced the files and it seems to work, except it is still looking at the us catalog (lots of stuff is not available)

haven't changed anything and now it is locking up again (not returning any movies), and I can't exit the plugin. have to alt-f4 media portal, but I can still get to the guide etc.

Has there been any movement on this? I am also more than willing to do testing on the next revision. Any effort toward making this excellent plugin work for us Canadians is very appreciated.

Hurricane123,

WileECoyote stated that he would be on vacation until Tuesday evening, so there has been no movement since his last post. I'm sure when he's back and had some time to settle in he'll give us an update.

Update...

Okay guys, Im back from vacation...

Netflix has released very little information on api calls for Canadian users. This is the only thread I have found -> Netflix API Forum.

Hopefully more information will be available soon, but for the time being I will continue on 2.0. On thing I have considered for the new 2.0 version is a checkbox for removing all but the Instant functions. Once selected, all dvd queues will disappear (DVD Queue, At-Home, etc...) Please provide some feedback on that...

Thanks,
Wile E.

Would it help if you had someone in Canada that can do testing and is capable of working with visual studio source code. I have done some modifications to other plugins for my own use. If you are interested in my help let me know. I am looking forward to using this plugin.

Yes it would... My plan is to eventually move completely over to XMBC (client) and would love for someone to take over this project. Would you be willing to take it over? If not I understand, and would still be happy to work with you to get the Canadian instant view working.
