Netflix plugin?

[mrxtc89117]

Would you release the source? I would like to make one for blockbuster too but don't really have time to start from scratch. Thanks

I just got a form email from Netflix with an announcement that WatchNow is now unlimited. So the time limit issue no longer applies.

Awesome! I've actually used up my watch now minutes twice before. Never again!

I am going to release the source. The only reason I hadn't yet is because it's incomplete and very much unpolished. I am setting up an svn so that uwfalcon (and anyone else who wants it) can help work on it. I'll be posting here once I get that set up and you're welcome to grab it.

whurlston,

The error I am getting completely locks up PVRX2--its says "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Clicking continue keeps bringing the message back. Here is some of the text within the message:


"************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any help is appreciated--sorry for the delayed response.

[whurlston]

I'm pretty sure I know what's causing that and it should be fixed for the next release.

[gapgapman]

Awesome, appreciate the input. I look forward to the release.

Have you seen this??

[whurlston]

Yup, I've seen it but like someone posted, I would prefer to use my HTPC than add another device to my setup.

Absolutly!!! Me too.

The last thing I need is another stupid box that does nothing.

HELP!!
I saw some posts about the plugin not showing up in the config. I also have that issue. No where to be found. I would LOVE this plugin to work man!!! Do you need .net framework stuff? I found some errors in the logs below if that helps!
