Netflix Watch Now beta

I have "Start on second monitor" unchecked because my TV is monitor #1. My computer monitor is primary monitor but is monitor #2 (when you click Control Panel->Display->Settings->Identify button). PVRX2 starts up on my TV, and Windows Media Player didn't start there. Maybe you can ask sub for his code that does this part? I asked sub if he could fix how PVRX2 determines primary monitor. It should use checkbox status of Control Panel->Display->Settings->"Use this device as the primary monitor" instead of monitor #.

It was a quick and dirty attempt. I will use a different method and also add some logging that will give me some needed information if it doesn't work. I need to do some things aroung the chouse first so check back in a couple of hours.

Wakalaka, can you run this build for me? It will give me information about your monitors and also the GBPVR window position settings on your machine. It will log this information as soon as the plugin is activated so all you need to do is activate the plugin from the main menu, then you can exit. Post PVRx2.exe.log when you're done.

Ok, it seems that sub is the using the display numbers and ignoring the primary display setting. So even though your display #2 is set as your primary display in Windows, sub considers it your secondary monitor.

Now that I know this, I can get it working. It will take a little more code but I'll try to have another build tonight.

Wakalaka, this one should work.

Does the new version include the personal queue? i didn't see it there yesterday. I have the version from like more than 3-4 weeks ago.

The personal queue is working. "Queue" is now the first option (if you supplied your RSS ID). You will need to click it to populate the list though. I'll fix that for the next build. I will be creating an option for Instant Queue in the near future as well.

It came up on the same monitor as PVRX2, but it displayed the left 1/5 of the player at the right edge of the screen, so it was unwatchable. Attached is my pvrx2.exe.log file.
