to manually fix
find the line in iqueue.py
curXe.Directors = curX
change it to
curXe.Directors = curX.Directors
.
Yep, working again. Thanks.

I still think you should give this plugin some sort of project page. It's an awesome plugin.
Looking forward to the day xbmc can render netflix video internally (probably about the same time netflix drops lame Silverlight)

Does the "expand tv episodes automatically" function work? I turned it on but when I go to all new arrivals: tv -> reno 911 season 6, it just plays the first episode. I do get a "more episodes" button in silverlight, but can't figure out a keyboard command to expand it.

Any advise?

Thanks

When "expand tv episodes automatically" is on, my Instant Queue shows some 380 things that my gf has tagged. When off, I see a much more manageable 20 or so.

As of 1.0.13 TV shows should now be "folders" so that when you click a season, it expands to show all episodes in that season. Works for me so I don't need to do "expand tv episodes automatically" anymore which was showing just hundreds of things...

Oh I see, it only works in your instant queue. I was in the new arrivals section and it won't expand the episodes there.

Thanks.

Suggestion and Issues - qumip - 2011-01-24 19:53

fekker:

Many thanks for this excellent plugin.

Have a suggestion, and some issues:

In Canada Netflix does not offer DVD service so the Rental History -> Shipped and Rental History -> Returned
menu selections are of no use.

A simple change in the root menu function would reduce the number of key strokes:

Code:
--- ./resources/lib/menu.py.orig    2011-01-21 19:49:58.000000000 -0500
+++ ./resources/lib/menu.py 2011-01-21 20:03:37.000000000 -0500

There are some issues:

1. Browse by Genre: Sometimes, even after waiting 30 - 60 seconds after selecting a genere, the item count in the
Loading Directory window remains at 0. Pressing the Cancel button has no effect. XBMC locks up and the Windows Task
manager must be used to recover control.

2. Recommended, Top 25 New Arrivals, or All New Arrivals: The movie detail shows a Runtime of 0 minutes.

3. Top 25 New Arrivals: TV or All New Arrivals: TV the episodes are not shown, only a single listing.

The log file for a session is available at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2000894/xbmc-20110124-0940.log.zip

Again, thanks for all your effort. It is very much appreciated.

Netflix in Canada? - ssss25 - 2011-01-24 20:06

Hi,

Using the Netflix plugin in Canada. It partially works. It cannot find everything and when viewing by Genre, it shows the US listing becaause when I click on something it says not available. It may even be showing everything from the US because when I search for sometthing that I know is int he Canadian one, it doesn't work.

Just thoughts on any fixes to support the Canadian Netflix

Thanks,

Hi I have been trying to get the Netflicks plug-in to work on my first generation Apple TV and have had no success so far. I have installed Firefox and silverlight but have had no success getting the browser to come to the front so I can get the activation code. Even then I wonder how to manage to key in the info as the ATv has no keyboard and I can't find how to load the drivers for one (it does have a USB port).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi I am in Canada (using OSX and Firefox as my browser by the way) and that may be part of my problem. I can get Netflix.com to authorize e plug-in for my account . But when I get to the next step which will take me to the netflicks.com home page I get a "site error" message and the plug-in fails. Is there an easy fix for this I have missed?

Thanks in advance for your help.

PS manually going to the netflix.ca site doesn't help - cannot access the American site at all from Canada

This is from my log file. Should I change the line
