Yup, the problem is definitely not on that side. I'm narrowing it down. I'll probably need to send you another test file in a while.

LOL! Yeah what is new. My wife is gonna love me having another feature to add

What do you mean by queue numeric? If you mean the queue order as shown on Netflix, it already does that.

I might have figured out how to fix your queue issues. Give this one a try and see if it loads your queue. Basically if it detects a database error while loading the main menu screen it deletes the offending data and redownloads it. It will try twice to fix the problem before giving up. Let me know if this works.

You are right, lets leave the 3 iron alone.

Sorry wifey but he asked... when we hit green button to add, on the netflix site it asks if we want to move to #1 spot is what I was thinking. Why do I suggest these things... I have a laptop right next to my TV chair! As if your not busy enough with the little one! LOL

Take it out of beta, it works beautiful now. It did as you said, detected an error, ran a short reload of about 6 minutes, and worked great since. All 207 is there. Thank you so much.

So, I figure it was time to try the new version on my new Win 7 HTPC installation. I planned to use the "just my queue" version. So, downloaded the full version and then the my queue version onto my test box (XP) and worked fine. Did the same over a previous install on the HTPC (Win 7) (overwrote all the files) and it seems to go into a loop after the queue downloads (green bar all the way across). I have to kill it with task manager. The movie info folder gets lots of empty log files with the time stamp about 10 seconds apart. Could it be a Win 7 permission problem? I have it on the d: partition, not anywhere near the protect Windows Program Files and Windows folders. Or, do you write to something there? I cleaned out all 7000 images from Movie Info, but it didn't change anything. Sorry.

Hey Mike,

Basically what happened is the database has some bad data and it isn't being cleaned out. So it is stuck in an endless loop of trying to rebuild the database, but it can't get rid of the bad data. I figured out the problem with Snooze's help, so if you give me about 2 hours I will post the updated version and it should fix your problem.

Thanks. I think I misread the posts between you and Snooze, thought it was already fixed.

It is now. I am posting it now.

Worked fine in the "only my queue" mode - I haven't got the Hauppauge remote tweaked in yet for the new commands. One note: the skip forward/back (ctrl-arrow) didn't work from the keyboard. Not sure I tried it in anything but full screen - maybe needs to be in not full screen? (Just read the manual and it clearly states cannot be in full screen - doh!) Episodes worked fine.

Thanks.
