Netflix plugin?

[chemie]

Watch Now capability would be cool.

I did find a web site with a 18 step process to download the video, stripe DRM, ands save file; which would then allow you to watch like a movie via GBPVR. Way too much work (and still required a ton of "PC time").

If this plugin works, watching on the sofa versus sitting in front of PC....Priceless.

What is timing for alpha testing?

I'm going to do a complete code rewrite. The first version was my first plugin so it wasn't really done properly. I should have an alpha test by next weekend though.

And I don't need to download and strip the drm first. In a test windows application, I can play the movie just as if you were on Netflix website. Now I just have to figure out how to load an ActiveX component in GB-PVR.

I think I've figured out a way to get Watch Now working properly. The downside is that your Netflix login password would be stored in plain text in config.xml

Is this an issue for anyone?

Nice plugin! should not be an issue with the password.

I see no problem with the pasword that way.
just put a warning about it next to the download link and all should be fine.

NEXT weekend is another week away

Well this is the next weekend after I made that post but I was refering to the one a week away as agidius said. I've been up to my ears in storm cleanup (small tornado went through my back yard).

And the dog ate my code while the sun was in my eyes....

Seriously, I hope you and yours are alright. You have an eagerly awaited release, but home and health always come first!

We are all fine. Thanks for the concern. We just have trees down everywhere and I've been cleaning up mine and my neighbor's and it's just been more work than I anticipated. Only one house in the neighborhood had any real structural damage and the power outages were repaired within a couple of days. We were extremely lucky. The tornado actually jumped my garage (which I was standing in 60 seconds before it passed).

This was only an F1 (the lowest of the scale for those not familiar). After experiencing both though, I can honestly say, I will take hurricanes over tornados any day. At least with a hurricane, I have the option of getting out of it's way.

Alice in wonderland. "Tomorrow" and tomorrow never comes. Same thing for "this weekend".



Seriouly, sounds like you dodged a bullet and cleaning up trees can take a long time. I had a few dead trees to bring down and cut up and I was amazed by the amount of wood generated and also the WEIGHT of a short 12" section of the trunk....
