It's probably a timeout. Read the opening post of the Netflix for OnlineVideos thread:I think it is a known bug, not all the movies/tv shows seem to work? The loading circle animates round for a while and then it defaults back to the screen without playing?
Problems with timeouts? Or does the player window close before the actual video start to play - try setting a higher "Webrequest timeout" in OnlineVideos configuration and BrowserHostWaitTimeout in the OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe.config file (found in [MP-INSTALL-PATH]l\plugins\Windows\OnlineVideos)
You can search from the hidden menu (the same menu you used to change the layout).In regards to YouTube, is there no way to actually input a search? Like you would normally on YouTube?
