New External App: Netflix Viewer

[StreakyBoneHead]

Yeah - no worries.

If it helps I have VS2008 and could run a debug version.

Hi Streaky,

It is really weird, this is happening on someone elses machine also, just during a later stage. i'll post a test version shortly that I'll need you to run and send me the logs. Can you run the version you have and tell me if the memory usage keeps jumping up (ctrl-alt-del and check on task manager)? I'm wondering if I have a memory leak that is crashing the program on peoples computers. Test version to follow.

Could it be they are hitting the 5000 call limit of the API? That's the issue I kept running into with my app.

No, due to the number of instant movies (~7800) I can't use the API to build the database, so I scrape the website.

Hey Streaky,

What is your default browser?

Thanks anyway - I did parse the whole forum for info and only posted as the final resort.

I need this app for my wife - my htpc is hooked directly to the TV so remote control is necessary.

Cheers

Here is the test file. please send me the contents of ".\movieinfo\logs\" after it crashes.

Yeah, that's the issue I ran into too. I've been working on a solution for it. I'm swamped for the next few days on other projects but shoot me a PM in about a week and I'll discuss it with you.

Thank you! Please remember to rate my program at http://www.netflix.com/AppGallery?st=ad&pn=1

I'm sure I could, right now I have it set to the primary display. I could probably add support for a second monitor, but I would need to find a test machine. I'm a single monitor kind of guy

I'll add it to the to do list and see if I can find a test machine.

Thanks. My TV is my second monitor, so this is pretty essential for me.

I think I know how I can do it, I'll add a secondary monitor option to the ini file. I'll send you a test version later tonight and let me know how it works for you.

Darn, i thought maybe you were using Firefox as your default. I thought maybe that was the problem.

OK, let me know what happens on your work laptop. If you don't get the errors, you might just need to upgrade to IE8 (IE7 sucks and IE8 is slightly better anyway ) at home. I'll know more once I get the logs.

Thanks for your patience/help with this!
