Netflix Watch Now beta

Was it a one time crash or are you able to reproduce it each time?

One time, I think. I'll keep trying..

K, I've been trying to reproduce it but I haven't been able to do so.

As a quick update, I'll have a new build posted tomorrow. I have to write some new instructions for the new feature but I'm pretty tired. It won't include the Top 50 yet but I don't want to hold it up any longer.

Sweet, I didn't realize I was unlimited now!! This makes the plugin sooo much more useful. Apologies for slightly misinforming...

Beta 5 is posted (see first post in this thread).

Added Categories. (Top 50 category is not yet working.)
Added graphical progressbar for downloads (displayed for > 10% downloaded in 10% increments).
Added ability to delete downloaded movies. (See Multifunction button in instructions).
Added ability to watch previews. (See Multifunction button in instructions).
Added ability to sort lists.
Added rating reason to descriptions.

When I created the current list, I forgot to sort it alphabetically so searching may not give the expected results. This can be fixed by cycling through the sort order until it returns to "Sorted by title". Future lists will be correctly sorted by title.

update went smoothly on the laptop!!!!

but the main client didnt do so well.
it exits to windows when I choose the menu item.
the logs say

PVRX2.exe Wrote:FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Does it do it if you uncheck the "delete posters..." options in the plugin config? Also, are you displaying the thumbnails in the list?

agidius · 2008-06-05, 03:57 AM

it is not checked, and it is set to show the posters.

The <WatchNowName> command does not seem to be working anymore with the new version...

The attached dll should fix both issues. It replaces the Plugins\Netflix\WatchNow.dll
