Netflix Watch Now beta

[whurlston]

I didn't remove the functionality to move the player window manually. You can still do this by pressing <Alt>+<Enter> to put it in windowed mode and then drag it to another monitor. Pressing <Alt>+<Enter> will return it to fullscreen.

What I removed was some code that I was testing that would start the player on the same monitor as PVRx2 if there is more than one. It wasn't quite right yet but I will be working on that.

All I have is an option for play/pause and stop/enter. Is there a way to ff and rew. Also does the version of WMP matter for the movie gui. Awesome plugin. Only thing I would like to see is an interface more like netflix's with a scroll bar to select movie position and popup buttons on mouse move or remote for play and pause. Thank you for a great plugin.

You can rewind and fast forward by using <CTRL>+D and <CTRL>+F or the FF/REW buttons on the remote. I am going to be working on the player interface next. I plan to make it look like the GBPVR video player screen though, not the Netflix player. There will not be a slider bar but you will be able to enter a number and jump to that time in the movie just like when playing a video in GBPVR. I will also be adding the ability to resume playback.

what he didnt mention is the ff/rw doesnt usually work until it is finished downloading.

I noticed that this started happening recently. I've fixed it for the next release.

This dll should fix the issue with not being able to FF/Rew until the download is completed. It replaces the Plugins\Common\NetflixApi.dll

Dakota, while trying to fix an issue with the details popup rendering, I've broken the downloads for series/compilations. As soon as I can sort that out, I will have that build of the WatchNow.dll for you. It should be by tomorrow night at the latest.

tonight I downloaded "The Dark Ages" and the watch now button never showed up.
I waited until download was complete, and it still wasnt there.

is there a way to fix that??

PS-
I have not yet followed the link in the above post

That's part of the issue that I was trying to fix when I broke the downloads completely (in my unreleased code). Is the wmv file in the folder and watchable with WMP? If it is, I think I can get it to show up in your downloads again.

The above netflixapi.dll is safe to install and has no bearing on the issue, good or bad.

agidius, try replacing the xml file in the "The Dark Ages" folder with the attached copy.
