Two questions. Well, more a question and a possible suggestion.

The question is an issue I've been running into lately. When I launch a video from XBMC, it of course launches into IE, which makes it the only thing I use IE for. It seems that about 90 percent of the time I launch a video, the video plays perfectly for a period of time, but then stops playback due to a slowed connection. The only thing is that it never rebuffers, it just stops. I close out and then reopen it through XBMC and it starts where it left off. Firefox never seems to do this when Im just viewing it on there, no XBMC involvement. I know the design of this plugin was to launch in IE, but is there any reason I can't reconfigure it to launch in Firefox?

Second, and this is just something I thought would be a nice addition if possible, but is there a way to possibly add an HD marker on the items available in HD? I'm using Transparency! and the fanart view for mine, which gives me the usual, but it would be awesome if there was an ability to tell what items are in HD.

Yes, you can use any browser you like that works on netflix website, just change the path in the playercoresettings.xml to point to firefox and remove the -k from the args.

I pull data from multiple areas, Netflix API (no flag on HD), RSS Feeds (very limited data), and starting with 1.0.12 from the oData source (which will have the flags for HD in there). So the answer is yes and no as some sources that I get the data from don't expose that information. Once I have that data, i need an infolabel to stick it into so XBMC's ui will display it. If you can find the infolabel for it (I'm not sure where it would go), I'll populate it whenever I have the flags in the source data.

I searched around for the below error and did not see a past post so I am posting now.

I get this error after I try to menus like "Instant Queue: All"

This is after a clean install of XP XBMC and a Zip install of 1.0.12 of Flicks.

Any help would be great and if ore info is needed let me know.
