Netflix Watch Now beta

sorry, fixed the link above.
I somehow "misspelled" the date on the server.

I always kill PVRX2.

calling an old version??

let me delete the netflix folder and start anew.

I deleted the 3 files in the common folder
then deleted the entire netflix folder
ran the setup in config
then started PVRX2 and chose netflix

I still get your "old" message

do you have anything somewhere else??
I noticed my RSS ID was still there, so is that in the config.xml??
should I find the netflix section and wipe it out too??

Nothing is stealing focus as far as I can tell. I have to Alt-Tab to "GB-PVR WatchNow Player" then hit Esc.

I hit Alt-Enter, but could not move the window or go back to full screen.

Suggestion: when you select a movie in the Downloads list, you can cursor up/down on the Preview button and it changes to Close and Delete. Can you either add a button for each action, or have some text that says you can cursor up/down on that button? I found it by accident.

I ran out of real estate space for more buttons but I did mention the extra options:

whurlston Wrote: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.

And from the first post with the instructions:

whurlston Wrote:Multifunctional "Close" button:
The "Close" button on the details popup is a multifunction button. If a preview is available, a preview button will be displayed in place of the "Close" button. If the current movie or episode has been downloaded, an additional "Delete" command is available. Selecting the button and using the up/down commands will toggle between the options.

It also works in the main lists, not just the download list.

The config.xml entries should not have any effect. Try deleting the dlls then run PVRx2 and see if the plugin still appears. Also post the PVRx2 logs after doing this so I can double check them.

Just wanted to say your doing a wonderful job!

Now I need to bug you again... Can the movies be Fast Forwarded and Rewound? I tried both skip and ffw buttons on my hauppauge remote with no success...

Yes they can I had only tested with an MCE remote though. I just got my first hauppauge remote with the HD PVR so I'll look into it as soon as I can. One of the things next on my todo list is to improve the player anyway.

I should say that I can run Windows Media Player, then open a downloaded file and play it on my secondary monitor in full screen. Just wish it could be forced to secondary monitor when run through the plugin. Is it possible to force Windows Media Player onto a monitor?

If you're willing to try several builds until I get it right, I'm game. Big Grin

Are we wanting to open on the same monitor as PVRx2 or independent of the PVRx2 setting?
