can i get a little help please? remember i need this for iphone.
my xbmc is 11.0
I highly doubt this works on iPhone for the main reason of Silverlight support (or lack thereof). I personally have never seen an iPhone install of XBMC, but I would surmise that many add-ons that rely on external application will not work. XBMCFlicks requires the launching of an external browser (via playercorefactory.xml, which I would surmise doesn't function on iPhone)....and even then once the browser was launched it would unlikely support Netflix due to no Silverlight.
Can you play Netflix from your iPhone's browser on it's own by visiting www.netflix.com? If not, then this will never work for you.
As far as the error message you are getting I would surmise you are unzipping the file properly. It seems several people on Macs have problems understanding how to properly unzip a file (or using a program that unzips them in a non-standard way).
There is a netflix stand-alone app for the iPhone isn't there? Why on earth would you want to even try to use this add-on instead?

I did an over the top install of XBMC and reset IE to default settings. No effect. Guess I shall try uninstalling XBMC Flicks and reinstalling.
You didn't state what show gets launched on each open....that might be a clue.
I suspect a reinstall may help as I haven't heard of anyone else with this issue....
