RE: [RELEASE] NetfliXBMC - Inofficial Netflix Add-on (Win/OSX/Linux) - bwiklak - 2014-02-06

Hi all! This is my first post on this forum.
I'd like to inform each of you, who use Netflix outside US that I'm working on adding a MediaHint [https://mediahint.com/] support to this awesome plugin. MediaHint is a free proxy that disables "Not available in your country" protection but streams video directly to your PC.

I have it working on my computer right now but I need to add some improvements before I commit my patches. It should not take long.
I plan to commit changes to my fork at https://github.com/bwiklak/plugin.video.netflixbmc

I'm developing for windows. The plugin will use pacparser Python package that needs to be compiled (c extenstion) with specific python version (2.6 for Frodo on Windows) for each OS so I hope for some help from people that use MacOS and Linux.

Hope my work will be beneficial for some of you.
Stay tuned.

Hi again, here it is - the beta version of MediaHint proxy in NetfliXBMC. Just copy files from https://github.com/bwiklak/plugin.video.netflixbmc and copy them to "%AppData%\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.netflixbmc" folder. You must also check "Use MediaHint proxy" in Advanced settings of NetfliXBMC plugin.
Also, you need to download and install MediaHint plugin in Chrome browser.
Hope this will work for you.

I am having the same issues with the Chrome Launcher not closing after I have opened, but more importantly t does not log me into my netflix account to watch a video. I have XBMCbuntu 12.3 installed. I have tried all of the suggestions listed above. What should I try now?


RE: [RELEASE] NetfliXBMC - Inofficial Netflix Add-on (Win/OSX/Linux) - grepus - 2014-02-11

Hi,

First off, thanks to all of those who have been working on this plugin, it's working fantastic for me and is a real game changer for my media centre!

My only problem, having set most of this up today, is that I can't get the pipelight window to close from my XBMC remote. I am running a standalone version of Ubuntu, with XBMC installed separately, not a one click install of XBMCbuntu. The advice says the window can be closed by sending an escape key or by mapping an external tool to send Alt+F4 to the box. I've tried a variation of both of these, using the official XBMC app as well as Constellation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks

Grep

When I export tv series to my library, XBMC is having trouble scraping the files. The tv series that span more than one season are named as such: Example Name (2001-2010). Anyone know how to get <cleanstrings> to remove the date range? (XBMC is having no problems with tv series that only have one year (2001) because recognizing that is built into the scraper.)

I have linux os with xbmc 12.3 on top. I get Netfixbmc to work and it plays the video correctly but when I want to exit the video I have to hit Esc first before alt+ F4 works. Know why?


RE: [RELEASE] NetfliXBMC - Inofficial Netflix Add-on (Win/OSX/Linux) - ilomambo - 2014-02-13

Great addon, it works mostly OK.
There are a few things I would ask to correct, if that is possible,
1. I am writing this post from the same HTPC where I just used XBMC + NetfliXBMC. And the keyboard keys assigned to window control are still hijacked, specially SPACE, which inserts SPACE+NEWLINE each time it is pressed.

At this point I went to my other computer and drafted a mail, which I am cuting & pasting, because it was impossible to keep typing with the HTPC keyboard.
I would say that this is a bug, and I think I saw someone mentioned it before in the thread, but as of v1.2.5 it is still there.
I exited Netflix(Chrome) by ALT+F4, so I don't know if this info is relevant to the fix or not. Anyway, until a final fix is found I would suggest to have some function in the Add-on configuration to restore the keyboard keys to its original state.

2. The behavior in the "Viewing Activity" list is different from Netflix's. In Netflix when you press a viewed TV show episode you are taken to the TV show page, where you can choose another episode to watch, in NetfliXBMC it just starts replaying the same episode.

The rest are not bugs, more like requests:

3. Would it be possible to add "Resume Viewing" to the context menu, when a TV show episode has been partially viewed?

4. Would it be possible to mark a TV show season as "watched", when all episodes are watched?

I think all in all it is a great great add on and I am grateful you wrote it, thanks.

Anyway to get this to work with SNI Proxies? Can't get it to verify SSL handshake, because my method to use USA netflix is.. via bind9/sniproxy..

@bwiklak

I have tried your version of the plugin with mediahint support. Sadly I get Netflixbmc plugin failed errors.

Also if you have enabled automatic updates of plugins your version gets overwritten with the latest version of the standard plugin.

I'm running the latest nightly build of Gotham.

If I can help with providing error logs just let me know, I really want a version with mediahint support.


RE: [RELEASE] NetfliXBMC - Inofficial Netflix Add-on (Win/OSX/Linux) - locoguano - 2014-02-15

I can no longer export library... this is happening on both Win7 and Ubuntu 13.10. Both show the exact same error...
Code:

Edit: An update on this... What I can't export is "My List" and TV Series... Individual movies export just fine.


RE: [RELEASE] NetfliXBMC - Inofficial Netflix Add-on (Win/OSX/Linux) - theredguy - 2014-02-15

This add on is great!

Would it be possible to get a recently watch shows (and movies I guess) instead of just recently watched episodes? I find it difficult to start playing the next unwatched episodes for shows I'm watching. "My List" doesn't work right for me because I have a Canadian account, but doing a U.S. proxy thing.

Also I tried adding House of Cards (the new one) to my library, but it keeps adding the older British version. Is there a way to force it to use the new U.S. series? Same thing with The Killing. It picks up the Danish version instead of U.S.

I find that if I add a show to the library, then remove it, any subsequent library update it puts it back. Even if I do "clean library" between. I can't seem to be able to get it out of the library permanently. Anyone else seeing this? Any way to fix it?

Thanks!

Pretty sure the addon doesn't clean up old shows... so you have to go into the userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.netflixbmc/library/ and delete the files.


RE: [RELEASE] NetfliXBMC - Inofficial Netflix Add-on (Win/OSX/Linux) - theredguy - 2014-02-15

Ok last one.

I'm using a U.S. DNS service, but with the plug in I'm only able to play shows that are available in my country. I can find them in search, but they just don't play.

Straight up in a browser I can play anything.

Is this known? Any way around it?

Edit: Nevermind, I looked back through the thread and found the answer. I updated the local file and it seems fine now.
