Also it would be nice is if the watched shows would display as watched.
I am wondering if the Netflix app for units like the boxee, and the WDLive could be emulated on XBMC
I don't think this is (easily) possible anymore since Netflix changed its season grouping.
This is due to the newer model in the Netflix API which you can read about here. To summarize:
Quote:Netflix is moving toward treating a television series as a unified object — a single title — rather than as a set of seasons or discs. The set-of-seasons or set-of-discs model is more of an artifact of the way DVDs are published and marketed, whereas the series-as-a-singular-thing is closer to the natural way of how subscribers think of a television series. You can already see this change emerging on the main Netflix site, and you may also note some changes in the underlying data to support this change.
As far as I know the only way to get them to display as separate seasons would be to parse out the "Ssn 2" or "Season 5". These two formats seem to be the most common, but the issue is there is not always consistency...and Netflix may change the way series are titled (which should technically not affect the API, but will affect the way XBMCFlicks parses out the XML stream).
I know that the Netflix website groups them by season, but none of the other apps I have used (XBMCFlicks, Wii, Vizio, WMC, Roku) group them by season...they all show just one list. So, while technically it would be possible, I don't think it would be worth the work as it would be fragile. And, since it doesn't seem that any of the other apps provide this functionality, I don't think we will see this (ever) in XBMCFlicks. Perhaps if/when Netflix enhances their API to provide this data....but that's not in the future for now...

I am in the UK.
No matter what i try, everything seems to be fine, i log in and associate my account, then when i select my recommendations or any of the other headings i get taken to a blank screen.
So maybe it does not work in the UK yet.
Anyway here is my new log as you asked.

I did not include the Verbose user info, sorry. i am not really sure what i needed to delete if i did.
That link didn't work for me...but no bother...if you are in the UK then I am pretty sure that's the reason.
I honestly don't know what the differences are (and there is virtually no way for me to test not being in the UK).
However, take a look at the posts in this thread dealing with Canada issues...like this one. Looking through the code a bit and finding out what URLs are being used on your end (a packet capture tool like Wireshark may help).
If you get the log file up, i'll take another look, but not sure I would find anything.
