New External App: Netflix Viewer

johnsonx42 · 2012-09-26, 08:28 AM

I run in queue-only mode, and I now can't get past the initial database update step. It just runs around in circles, downloading the same thing over and over again. I was running 3.3.2, have now upgraded to 3.5.1.1 with no change. I've uninstalled, re-installed, started with a blank movieinfo.ntf, etc. This started sometime after the 15th I think, probably the first time titles were added to the queue after that. Memory use by the TX Viewer.exe climbs over 1GB at times while this is going on, and it uses 100% of one CPU core.

Logs attached; I eventually gave up and force-closed the update window and tx viewer itself.

On the 15th Netflix retired their old API http address, so it makes sense that the problem started then. I'm able to duplicate this issue and I'll work on it this evening, i'll let you know what I find out.

Honestly, I'm not sure if they are more incompetent of running an API or killing one.

I am pretty happy with their removal of the DVD movies from the catalog stream, it cut my database update time in half. Other than that, they really don't provide any assistance with the API anymore. They still don't provide access to other countries for the API, whihc seems really idiotic to me.

I think I figured it out, try this one:

On November 7th they are completely shutting down the old API link at Netflix. If you haven't done so, please upgrade to the latest version of the program to avoid problems.

Am i right in assuming this wont work with the UK version of netflix?

Sorry, you are correct. Netflix has not opened up the API to other countries as far as I know.
