Thanks for looking into this!

Further update, I tested the NetfliXBMC_Utility.exe program and it's firing perfectly when I double click on it, hiding my cursor in the bottom corner of the screen. Just seems that the utility isn't being called properly by the plugin for some reason.

[AddonScriptorDE]

EDIT: Unfortunately still not working - have copied a snippet of the log from below showing a similar error message.

Mmm. Because of the latest quick updates, are you sure that you are using v1.1.4?
Changing date of NetfliXBMC_Utitlity.exe should be a 15 minutes ago...

Maybe you just received the update. Please try the addon again...

Hey,

Updated to 1.1.4 (was testing on 1.1.3) and unfortunately still getting the same error - both when trying to access the utility manager and when trying to play an episode.

Sorry for being a pain!

EDIT: Oh forgot to mention whether my system was x86 or x64. My version of Windows 8.1 pro is the 64bit version.

[mcs347]

You sir, are a genius. Just updated to 1.1.5 and it's working perfectly.

Thank you!

[AddonScriptorDE]

v1.1.5:
- Fixed launching of NetfliXBMC_Utility.exe when path contains spaces

...Netflix played the movie "Christmas Vacation" right away.

Amusing - i also used it for manual testing when i started writing the addon.
Watched it all the time. Best christmas movie EVER...

Hey,

Updated to 1.1.4 (was testing on 1.1.3) and unfortunately still getting the same error - both when trying to access the utility manager and when trying to play an episode.

Okay, next try! Probably the space (your name) in the path caused the error...

Sorry for being a pain!

I'm happy you do some testing for me. I'm too lazy to test different systems, so i just wait for bug reports...

You sir, are a genius. Just updated to 1.1.5 and it's working perfectly.

Thank you!

Great!

[HardRom]

Mines working pretty well, now- figured out that I needed to press numpad 0 on a physical keyboard to quit, for some reason mapping the key on my remote wasn't effective (it would close, then open again?!).

Thanks for this addon and all the time you've spent helping people!

[AddonScriptorDE]

...for some reason mapping the key on my remote wasn't effective (it would close, then open again?!).

Could you reproduce that? When pressing the button, the browser & ControlUtility itself gets closed. Strange how it's then being opened again...
You could try to map some other key to close the browser - i'm using the back button on my mce remote.

[Devo7v]

The new control options are great, thank you for implementing them. I think you are only missing 2 buttons:
1) Play and pause should be able to be assigned to different keys. I know they they use the same keyboard shortcuts, but I have different buttons on my remote and I'd like to be able to assign play and pause separately.
2) The only thing I see missing that could be useful is "Mute"

Other than that this addon works great

I started having issues with loading of the SilverLight plug-in in Chrome over the last few days.

When Chrome opens it displays the 'Failed to load SilverLight plug-in' message. I found this in xbmc.log:

I've tried toggling kiosk mode as well as 'Use own user profile' in Chrome Launcher without success.

Everything works fine if I launch Chrome manually via OSX - so it appears to be related to NetfliXBMC or Chrome Launcher somehow.

Any ideas?

My fix to this (OSX Mavericks, Froto 12.2 and Chrome) was to initially load up Netflix with Chrome through OSX and log into Netflix and use as normal web browsing viewing. After I went to http://whatsmyuseragent.com and replaced the result in bold in the default.py file in the "useragent" line (located in /Users/(Your OSX User Folder)/Library/Application Support/XBMC/addons/plugins.videos.netflixbmc).

This loads up Chrome perfectly and starts playing the videos. This also works in Kiosk mode.

Just have to find a way to map my Apple remote for play, pause, seek and stop controls and this becomes the best Netflix plugin for XBMC out there!!

Thank you BrennandD, setting the user agent as per your suggestion makes the SilverLight plug-in load as expected!

[jcass]

I'm getting list index out of range error messages when accessing the 'My List' and 'Viewing Activity' menu options.

From the logs it appears that this happens when the default.py script fails to retrieve the year or duration for a given video in the user's Netflix list.

I managed to work around this by adding exception handling for year = match[0] and duration = match[0] statements in the listVideo method.

Is this perhaps something that can be patched in a future release of NetfliXBMC?

Have you tried Rowmote? (http://regularrateandrhythm.com/apps/rowmote-pro/)

The standard Rowmote controls are non-functioning in Chrome. But you can gain easy access to the arrow and spacebar keys by using Rowmote's built-in keyboard with the 'fn' toggle enabled. This will show the up/down, left/right and other useful keys on an enlarged button interface which works quite well with Netflix in Chrome.

[AddonScriptorDE]

v1.1.6:
- Reverted UserAgent changes on OSX / Chrome
- Control Utitlity (Windows): Added some keymappings
- Fixed video listing for items with missing metadata

The new control options are great, thank you for implementing them. I think you are only missing 2 buttons:
1) Play and pause should be able to be assigned to different keys. I know they they use the same keyboard shortcuts, but I have different buttons on my remote and I'd like to be able to assign play and pause separately.

I also added the custom UserAgent to OSX/Chrome because of some reported problems without. But i got no further feedback from the user, so i now reverted the changes.
Is v1.1.6 now working again for you (without modifying the UA)? If not, i'll add a solution for using a custom UA, which is permanently stored in the addons userdata dir...
