SWEET......

Thank you - I will test dual screens when I get home - and will deploy to my htpc later much to the happiness of my wife.

Cheers

Thanks for the help!

Also, don't forget to rate me on the netflix site: http://www.netflix.com/AppDisplay?id=212...gl-it-2121

D.U.N Done!!

As a btw - it works fine with my Remote Wonder - and the number buttons jump through the alpha list superbly.

If you can port this as a plugin for BeyondTV folk out there will pay....

Cheers

Good to hear. Don't hesitate to let me know if you run into other errors. And thank you for the good word on the netflix site!

As for the plugin, I am not a beyondTV user and I've tried keeping the program as a standalone, so anyone can use it. But if anyone would like to build a plugin, I'd be more than happy to provide source code/help/make DLLs.

I did, briefly. I was going to send in more details later, but I can tell you this:

The main screen (the one with the black background, white text, and the Queue) opened on the primary monitor. Everything else seemed to open up on the secondary monitor.

So ... progress! ?

Hi J,

OK, I have no idea why it isn't opening on the second monitor. I took a shot in the dark on this one and hopefully I fixed it. If not, let me know and I'll borrow a monitor from work and test it over the weekend.

If you can reply and put an OK or NOT next to each of these screens it would be a huge help:

Ctrl-O - options screen
Under options menu, click the "Edit List" button - Genre Management
Ctrl-S - search screen
Ctrl-I - Queue management

While watching a movie:
Enter - Movie Viewer
F10 - info screen
Ctrl-B - Change screen resolution (make sure it changes the proper screen and when you exit it should reset the screen resolution to what it was before)

Thanks!

Just an update:

OK, I have a second monitor at my disposal now and I am troubleshooting the forms. I should have something finished by the end of the weekend.

Hi J,

The second monitor option works for me on my setup with version 2.1.0.0 (just uploaded). so please give it a whirl and let me know if you run into any problems.

I don't know when that will be, but I'll let you know! Hopefully I can test it this weekend.

Whoops...I seem to always have a whoops on new releases. :o

The upgrade notification wasn't working properly, but with 2.1.0.2 it is fixed. Sorry about that, I think I artificially increased my download numbers.

Opening screen started on the 2nd monitor and then a huge, blank gray window opened in front of it. "NetflixTXViewer" shows up twice in my taskbar, and the blank window in front just has the generic .NET icon with no title in the taskbar.

Ctrl-O - options screen OK
Under options menu, click the "Edit List" button - Genre Management OK
Ctrl-S - search screen NOT - I can't do anything with this because the blank window keeps taking focus.
Ctrl-I - Queue managementNOT - same reasons as above.

While watching a movie:
Enter - Movie Viewer
F10 - info screen
Ctrl-B - Change screen resolution (make sure it changes the proper screen and when you exit it should reset the screen resolution to what it was before)

Couldn't get to any of those above because I could never see my queue.

Hope that helps.

Are you using the latest version 2.1.0.2? I had that problem with the test version I sent to you and Streaky, but the latest release I thought I fixed that. Let me know if you are using the latest version.
