There is also a petition mentioned in http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...t=petition. It is currently closed with 539 signatures. I have suggested that the person who opened it try to reopen it for more signatures. It might be worth mentioning to Netflix in any conversations on the subject.

Netflix used to have an API but they got rid of it. It's just one more thing they have to support and they wanted control over how Netflix was presented to users. No matter what you ask for they're going to tell you it's a great idea and that they'll definitely consider it.

First of all, Netflix had a public end-point for meta data. There has never been (and never will be) a public API for video playback. The reason they got rid of it, is because after some insane amount of time having the public API (years) the entire sum of API requests through it amounted to approximately one days worth of their private API requests (which DOES have playback).

Does this addon still working in ubuntu 14.04?

I'm using eOS Freya and I always get a script fail stuff when I try to use it, here's my crash log:

I have Chrome in it's latest stable version installed as well.


Thanks in advance!

I've just made a minor version update, 1.3.23
This just incorporates the change from http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2094108
It apparently restores a little bit of functionality, but most of the plugin is still broken.

I'm hoping to do some major work on it in the coming week or two, see how it goes.

I've got a new-from-the-ground-up repository server running, the netflixbmc update is hosted here.
Users should not have to do anything to switch over though, the repository addon should auto-update first, then the netflixbmc one will. If you have any problems you can manually install the repository.alelec update from http://kodi.alelec.net

This server dynamically serves my addons directly from github releases, so hopefully updates/installs of modules will be faster & more reliable as the zip's will be coming straight from github's cdn. It also makes creating new releases to addons far quicker/easier/realiable.

It started misbehaving on me today as well - yesterday was fine, today not.
First it cried upon needing to update the plugin - update failed.
Then it eventually updated - but My List, All Titles etc. are blank (no movie entries). I checked the default.py and the uncommented line didn't get overwritten (so I have two calls to content = loadurl()).
Any other ideas?

The update broke the changes some of us made to default.py over the last few weeks to get NetflixBMC working. I changed default.py again according to posts 1075 and 1144 and MyList is now working again. Worth a shot for anyone experiencing a blank MyList.

Sorry the update was supposed to bring in those changes, appears I got it wrong.
Could you please send me a copy of your entire default.py (or even better: fork/change/pull request) and I'll get the correct changes in.

Hey, I read through the majority of the post in this thread and couldn't seem to fix all my issues. What other alternatives do we have over Netflixbmc right now? I just want something I can run on my kodi setup and control with xbox controller.

Happy to - Sadly I don't know how to do this. Where and how do I send it?

Did as airberger suggested with the references to the two earlier posts, everything appears to be working fine.

Could you even just paste the working contents of default.py on http://paste.ofcode.org/ and post the link here.

Are you running on a Windows PC with Windows 8.1 or 10. If so, you can use the Netflix app from the app store, and this utility.

http://www.avsforum.com/forum/26-home-th...st37247250

And then using advanced launcher, set a shortcut from Kodi to launch netflix, and that app lets your remote control it.


Here's a quick video demo.




It doesn't integrate it into the kodi library system, just lets you launch it and navigate with your remote, but seeing how hard that is and everytime they change something, this just works. lol.

Does this work?

Hi All!!

Long time reader but this is my first post and I hope it helps someone.

My system is an Ubuntu-gnome 14.04 and since I insatlled NetfilXBMC every time I exit Chrome (ctrl+w) it lost focus on Kodi making me select it again to get focus. (Sorry about my english by the way).

I find a workaround and I wanted to share with all of you, it is not elegant, it is not pretty, but it works for me, maybe it works for someone else.

In "default.py" I inserted a line after line number 751, just after this one:

xbmc.executebuiltin("RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.program.chrome.launcher/?url="+urllib.quote_plus(url)+"&mode=showSite&kiosk="+kiosk+profileFolder+")")

The line I inserted is:

os.system('sleep 5; while [ "$(ps -ef | grep -i "plugin.video.netflixbmc/chrome" | grep -v grep)" != "" ]; do sleep 2; done ; wmctrl -a Kodi')

With this change, every time I exit Chrome (ctrl+w) the focus is in Kodi instead of an empty desktop.

I hope this will help someone.

BTW: You must have installed wmctrl (sudo apt-get install wmctrl)

I use both browser.sh and netflix.lirc in this plugin.

Each time I get an upgrade, the browser.sh permissions are changed and removes the "executable" on the file.
I need to always do a chmod 755 browser.sh on each upgrade.
Is there a smarter way I can handle this?

I have edited the netflix.lirc in the plugin.video.netflixbmc directory to map the LIRC to my remote key definitions.
Each time I get an update, the file is overwritten.
This really isn't surprising.
Should I be editing this file directly or is there a preferred means of mapping the LIRC keys?

Any advice appreciated.

Jim
