New External App: Netflix Viewer

[Reddwarf]

My internet is not quite well tonight so the process timed out with an exception from .net framework, have to try again tomorrow. Let me know if you want the log.
BTW, when I set my location to US, Netflix does not give me Norwegian subtitles, is that something your program could fix?

Ok, testing the new version now, it's currently working with the one hour update. How do I know if we have an instant query in Norway?

If you go to the netflix website, on the main page it should have a tab called Instant Queue. Also when you hover over a movie it gives you an option to add a movie to your queue. It is a way of marking movies to a list for later viewing.

If you still don't know what I am referring to, then you probably don't have one.

OK, just let me know once you are done.

As for subtitles, my program just provides a wrapper around the IE webpage, so you won't have any subtitle options that you don't in IE. Netflix doesn't make it easy to support other countries for us little guys, otherwise I would take a crack at it if I could access the norway site.

The program still crashes during star rating updating but I think I'v located the problem. Tha last messages in the attached log says (translated to english) "Converting to decimal from the string 3.1 is invalid". Note that in most european countries we use . instead of , as the decimal notation. So it's a matter of globalisation, I remember there was the same problem with the Weather plugin for NPVR in early days.

BTW, the date format in Europe/Scandinavia is also slightly different from the US format, if you'r doing anything with date strings in your program.

That is very odd considering it was converting the strings just fine previously and I didn't change any of that code. If I understand you correctly, I need to change 3.1 to 3,1 in order to convert it?

It complains about 3.1, so I guess your program expects 3,1. If that is not so, something else is fishy in that string. Did you look at the log file?

My program expects 3.1, we use periods in the US. I did look at the log file, I don't know what is wrong, like I said your previous log showed it worked with periods consistently; the previous problem was API glitches. I'll send you a debugging version, so I can get a bit more detail on what is happening.

In case you didn't get my email, sending the testversion as text did not work, try 7zip or rar format.
