I realize there have been many struggles others have had with Netflix given the silverlight challenges and API changes. You however, have developed a very elegant approach with the utilization of Chrome. To be able to control Netflix playback in the browser with my remote, add Netflix shows to XBMC favorites allow for a very pleasing experience. You should be very proud of your development my man. Thank you for making my XBMC set up a viable Netflix client again!

Thank you all for the nice feedback! Smile

Would make it easier than having to remember the show you last watched in a series. I'm not sure if there is a way you can see this from the Netflix site when you are scraping the source.
Will have a look at it...

With a lot of modification, it should be possible. You just need to get Netflix working in any browser. Then, this addon will also work.
But if you install all necessary stuff including the desktop environment / window manager, you could also just use something else.

Chrome does not need to run via Wine. Only the Silverlight dlls / FakeBrowser need to run via Wine...

When you start Chrome manually, and close it on your preferred display, doesn't Chrome remember the last used display?
I just had a quick look, but couldn't find a parameter to force chrome to use a specific display.

I had to implement a solution to load all fanart in the background, because it would take too long while browsing videos. So, i think, i won't change it.
You can also add videos to your library. Then, you will get the full XBMC fanart experience... Wink

(2013-12-01, 16:58)krish_2k4 Wrote: add Netflixs recently watched category (I think its called 'viewing activity'), so we can stop playing on one device and carry on playing from another.
The recently watched list is only available on movies.netflix.com/MyList when you setup your account to use manual order mode for your list (as far as i know).
If you know an url that always returns your viewing activity (independent from your settings), please let me know. But i can also just implement it for users who are using the manual order mode...

Edit: I found the correct viewing activity url. Will implement it...

Edit: Nevermind... Tried to use it and it began launching a movie every time My.Library queried the addon.
The number of available episodes isnt available when browing videos (only when there is only one season).
The number of seasons is available. But if i would set the season and/or episode infolabels, the tvshows maybe would be recognized as seasons/episodes instead of tvshows.
I could set the tvshowtitle infolabel, but as you said it won't work with the tool anyway...
