Netflix Watch Now beta

[Wakalaka]

I tried using beta 4 and I get an exception when I launch the plugin. I have always had this problem with all versions. Any ideas what to check or info to give you? I'm using the blue skin, and unzippe beta4 to gbpvr dir, as well as followed the directions to remove the old data.

Also is this separate from the Netflix plugin that allows you to see your queue?

What does the exception message say? Something about GetRenderList()? Also, do you have the CommonGBVRUtilities.dll in your GBPVR or Plugins\Common folder?

Asfor the plugin that lets you view your queue, this new beta breaks that one. I'll be recoding that one at some point.

I have CommonGBVRUtilities.dll in Plugins\Common folder. Error dialog text is

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Can you verify that your movie and poster cache folders exist? I they don't, Go ahead and create them manually.

[Wakalaka]

Netflix\Posters\Large and Netflix\Posters\Small exist. What is cache folder?

[whurlston]

Those are the Poster cache folders. Create a "Plugins\Netflix\WatchNow" and it should take care of your problem.

I ran across the same problem with no WatchNow folder. So I'm just dropping this note to the developer for debugging, it seems the plugin doesn't create this directory if you leave the default values in the config, even if you open it and save it on close, it will only create this directory if you change the directory for the download folder. Ran like a charm for me after that, thanks for your work!

[whurlston]

Yeah, I meant to double check that before the last build but I forgot. It will be fixed in the next build though.

[Wakalaka]

That fixed the loading. Now I have other problems, like dialog dismissal is broken, gives me a very faint dialog box, so I have to hit any button to truly dismiss a dialog. I started a download of a movie, but it never showed up in the Downloads.

I'm noticing that too but I thought it may just be my overloaded dev machine since it doesn't happen on my main machine. I'm not sure what I can do about it since I'm letting GBPVR handle all the rendering animation. I'll have to open a thread in the dev forum.

Edit: sub supplied the answer. It's fixed for the next release.

I started a download of a movie, but it never showed up in the Downloads.

Zip and attach your logs. Also, is there anything in your WatchNow folder? It should have a wmv and xml file for the download.
