"The", "A" and "An" are ignored at the beginning of a title. Pressing "0" returns you to the first item in the list.
Selecting a movie:
When selecting a movie, the plugin will connect to the Netflix website to get additional info for the movie. Details are cached, so it will only connect to netflix.com the first time the details are viewed for each movie per GBPVR session. A details window will then appear. If the movie has not been downloaded or is not currently being downloaded, a download button will be available. If the movie has started or completed downloading, a watch button will be available. Navigate the buttons by moving left or right.
You can only perform one download at a time! This a Netflix limitation. The plugin will alert you if you already have a download in progress when trying to start another.
Tv Series details:

When "{ Select an Episode }" is displayed (default) the general description for the series will be shown along with the total runtime of all episodes. When an episode title is shown, the runtime and description for that episode will be shown if available. Download/Watch commands are shown the same as movies if that episode is available for streaming.
Multifunctional "Close" button:
The "Close" button on the details popup is a multifunction button. If a preview is available, a preview button will be displayed in place of the "Close" button. If the current movie or episode has been downloaded, an additional "Delete" command is available. Selecting the button and using the up/down commands will toggle between the options.
Playing previews:
Previews are played using the internal GBPVR video player. You will need directshow filters capable of playing .flv files. FFDShow is recommended.
