Netflix Watch Now beta

[thetmaxx]

Um, Having an issue with the episodes feature... I tired to download 'Seven Up' and 'seven plus seven' And they needed to be downloaded as episodes. I downloaded both of them, but when I play them back, Both .wmv files are only the seven up episode, although the second file is named 7plus seven.wmv.

Wondering if this is a Netflix bug, or a bug with the way it handles episodes.

Oh, BTW I did get it to "Scan Forward" using the FFW/RRW buttons on my hauppauge remote. not sure why it wasn't working the other day, but as long as i know it works i'm happy. I'll blame the rest on my computer.

however, I still have the download problem with Vista. It seems like it downloads up to a certain (low) percentage, and then it quits. It happens on ALL the downloads.

Do you have UAC enabled or disabled? It may be the virtualstore getting in the way.

If you watch 7 plus 7 from the website does it play the correct movie?

Beta 8 posted to fix the "Website unavailable" popup. See first thread.

UAC and index are disabled. The most I've ever gotten to was 55%.

Can you zip and post one of the movie xml files?

I must have erased them all, but this is the last one...:

I get this also. Using Xp

I'm getting the stuttering every 10 secs again and I did my lowering priority trick and it doesn't work always (I've got everything as low as possible.) Is it possible that WMP runs and an extremely low priority when playing netflix? This is driving me nuts.

Its possible netflix has it messed up on there end, I noticed that you cant download the first two episodes of quantum leap though the plug in. So I tried to watch them through the website and it starts you at the third episode and it says there are no previous episodes. so I think they have some of there stuff messed up.

The seven up issue is indeed an issue within the plugin unfortunately. There is a problem in the stream parsing. I will work on it tomorrow.

The missing Quantum Leap episodes are not a plugin issue however. For some reason, some episodes of certain shows are not available for watch now, which is why I had to add code to determine if a particular episode was available or not and not display the download button if it wasn't.
