[QUOTE="WTBHelp, post: 529266, member: 99040"] Hey Wile, I'm finally back. Spent the whole weekend formatting my PC and getting setup. Its been a long road to get here ROFL. I just want to say that sincerely, your app is amazing. A job well done, kudos. A couple of comments from the first time user perspective: 1) The first time I logged in, it took about 10min to get the data I needed to load my queues. I've got top tier high speed internet. I think the bandwidth limit is on Netflix's side, but regardless, it may be worth mentioning it in your setup notes. My queue had some 40 odd movies, instant had about 25. I used task manager to close MP about 4 times cause I thought it had frozen/crashed, was hanging etc. Also, took me a bit to figure out you needed to click on a queue to start the load (maybe make the instant queue default load as part of setup). No big deal but probably worth mentioning to make it easier for others. 2) Is there anyway to disable the other menus? I will only ever use NF for streaming, and use the web to manage my queues and order DVDs in the mail etc. Some people may need the functionality so not saying remove it, but if it may speed up load times to remove everything and just have "instant queue", "new instant releases" and "instant recommendations", that would be nice (if it made load times faster). 3) Took me about 10 restarts to finally get MP to load up without asking me for my login details each time. Dont know what happened. Firewall popped up quite a few times, needed to be configged etc. Just stuck to it and the popup window eventually went away. 4) Anyway to set the NF page resolution to 1920X1080 for the wallpapers and fanart to look better on my 32"? 5) Havent tried to dual monitor testing yet but will post shortly. Original install file still has the conflicting shortcut keys so will try your other .dll shortly. I anticipate issues with the max screen Silverlight issue (I may need to key F11 into my remote for Chrome window maximizer, may need a focus key to grab the Chrome window again if focus switches to display #1 etc. 7) The little tray icons (remote/control) dont disappear when I log out of netflix.
