can't download

Are you saying that if you kill PVRx2 and go back in the first download you try in the new session fails? If so, zip and post your pvrx2.exe.log for me after trying.

Edit: I also remembered that some movies expired recently that may still be in the list. Can you verify that the movie you are trying is still available for Watch Now on the Netflix website? If not, PM me the name of the movie or the numeric id and I will check the error handling for that situation.

The movie that was in my Download list is Smiley Face, but this doesn't appear to be a Watch Now movie on Netflix's site. Is the list that your plugin downloads out of sync with Netflix?

I can watch the movie that I already have downloaded. I couldn't download Smiley Face. I will try downloading other movies in my Download list (which is called the Instant Queue on the Netflix site -- do you have different naming for a reason?)

The plugin doesn't read the instant queue. It was not available when I started the plugin so I read the DVD queue and I have not updated it to use the instant queue yet. As for the list, I create the list manually so it is not in sync 100%. I takes about 1.5 - 2 hours to create the list so it was not really feasable to do it on the fly with the plugin. I did implement something for the next build where you will get a popup letting you know the movie is no longer available. If you have already downloaded a movie that is no longer available, Netflix will still authorize playback.

Is there a way to automate the process of generating an accurate Instant Queue? Would suck if you always had to manually generate that list.

I plan on adding support for the instant queue but I haven't yet. The DVD queue is easier because it's an RSS feed. For the Instant Queue, I need to parse the web page. Currently, whenever you select an RSS feed (queue, top 20, new releases), it takes the list of movie IDs in the feed, searches the MovieList.xml file and then shows the movies that are returned from the xml file. I will also be adding logic so that if a movie is not in the xml file, it will automatically add it to the file. I will probably skip this option for new releases because last week, there were over 400 new releases and there has to be a 1-2 second pause between getting the info for each movie. If I don't do the pause, Neflix will lock you out temporarily for hammering their website. This is the main reason I create my own list of movies for the plugin.

Download All: yep, that's where I plan on putting it.

I just went through and deleted all episodes of "keeping up appearances"
there were 45 episodes in that list.
that took some time.

would a "delete all" button be planned also??

[whurlston]

Yup. That one is actually going to be easier to implement. Also planning a "Watch All" which would watch all episodes that have been downloaded.
