[QUOTE="jmvaughn, post: 574251, member: 96228"] [b]Re: [plugin] "My NetFlix" Plugin with Watch Now Support[/b] Just installed the new NetFlix plugin on a test machine, to try out the new BleazleWide skins. I thought I'd share some thoughts, suggestions, and minor bugs. First off, thank you very much, WileE, for doing all those skin adaptations. I've been fiddling with the NetFlix files for BleazleWide skin a bit (more on that below), and I've quickly come to realize that it's a very time-consuming process. All those skins must have taken you forever! Second, I'd like to say that the direction you're taking with the user interface is EXACTLY what I was hoping you'd do. It is cleaner, simpler, and better looking. It is really turning into a fantastic plugin. Some bugs I've found: [LIST] [*]In Large and Small Icon view, pressing select plays movie instead of showing details (the "Show details" box is checked in config). [*]Film title in upper right corner does not always show when first entering plugin. When cursor is moved, title shows up. [*]Problem installing Bleazlewide using standard install. When I copied over files manually from the Zip file, it worked fine. [*]Wrong movie details appear for sub-account when on detail screen. Details are for the movie for the main account in the same position in the queue. Fan art and movie title are correct, however. [*]Extra comma at end of lists (e.g., actors list, genre list). Very minor, obviously. Maybe this is how it comes from Netflix servers? [*]In Rental history, quite a few movies are listed twice. [*]When sub-account selected, and DVD Queue selected (to update list), Rental History, Recommendations, At Home, and Ratings is still showing results for main account. [/LIST] I have a feeling some of the issues concerning the sub-account stuff may be due to limitations with the Netflix API, but I thought I'd mention them just in case. I also have a couple of suggestions: [LIST] [*]Play Button prominently on the details screen, which is selected by default when opening details. This is a WAF feature, to make it perfectly obvious that pressing select at this point starts the movie. [*]Larger font for movie title in upper right. Couldn't figure out how to do this in the XML's :) . [*]Let user edit the name of the plugin on the main menu (e.g. Netflix -> My Netflix, or whatever). [/LIST] These may only make sense for the BleazleWide skin, or not, I don't use any others so I'm not sure it's relevant to anyone else. I also have a couple files I've modified, in case Wile E or anyone else is interested. I've modified the main list view and the details view to eliminate scrolling (man, I hate scrolling, lol). I also created the XML file the BleazleWide skin needs in order to show the green highlight bar in the menu. The files are attached below, as well as some screenshots showing what they look like in action. Thanks again, Wile E, for all your hard work. Hope my input is helpful. [/QUOTE]
