For me, everything works GREAT! I have no trouble at all browsing Genres, searching for movies/shows, or watching anything that shows up.
Your plugin is extremely valuable, and I'm sure there are a great number of people using it who have absolutely no troubles. Most of them are probably just too busy watching Netflix to write here! Ha ha..
For me, this is the most important addon for XBMC. I'm certain that as each new person discovers this, he or she appreciates your work immensely!

XBMC, Zotac, and the XBMC-Flicks addon is everything I wanted. Thanks goes to you and the entire XBMC team.

martinmonette Wrote:Hello, new to the forum and new to using XBMC and I'm having an issue with Xbmc Flicks. I have the add-on installed and it works, but when I close an IE window and it goes back to XBMC it automatically opens another IE window. If I alt-tab back to XBMC it will just launch another IE window. So right now I can't stop XBMC from trying to play a movie without closing XBMC itself.
Never seen that issue
What skin are you using? try it with the default skin as it could be some odd thing with the skin and addon.
You could also try it with firefox or the wrapper (download location is on the first post of this thread).
In other news, I've been checking out different things with the odata from netflix. One thing that it'll let me do is pull the full movie info for the top 25 new movies/shows, right now the data is sourced from an rss feed with limited info, so that should bring that part more inline. I'm limited as it's a very long url that is sent for this or that or this or that, etc for the id's for the top new items. It's still not working as it should, so i'm holding off on pushing that out. (of the top 25, only ~60% are returned, I suspect an odata issue)
I'm also looking into how to do the cast and related links for the movies/shows. As well as a favorites option for the menus (or an right click don't show this menu item again type thing)

always good to hear folks using it and digging it. Now if only we could get neflix to allow a custom player within xbmc under all OS's, that would be the cat's meow.

Thanks, I tried that but no luck, it still does the same, every time I close a window a new one opens up and if I try to switch back to XBMC to stop it, it will open a new window.

I just installed XBMC on a second computer and XBMC flicks works fine with no issues. So I don't know why its doing this on my laptop.
FIX for Netflix Canada Change - qumip - 2011-02-09 02:10
Netflix implemented a change today breaks viewing of movies in Canada.
Browsing the catalog and selecting a movie is not affected. The symptom is that the browser is launched, a black background appears and no further progress. The status bar indicates 'Done'.
The solution is as follows:
1. Delete all files in the directory %APPDATA%\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.xbmcflicks\links\
2. Edit line 263 in %APPDATA%\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.xbmcflicks\resources\lib\iqueue.py changing the netflix.com url to netflix.ca
A patch that uses the IN_CANADA flag is:
Code:
--- ./resources/lib/iqueue.py.orig 2011-01-22 16:34:51.000000000 -0500
+++ ./resources/lib/iqueue.py 2011-02-08 18:15:22.877342815 -0500

not to be nit picky, but i'd do something more like..

I tried searching through the thread here and couldn't do it very successfully because it was blocked in by the /code marks but what exactly does the:
<useddsfanart>
do exactly?
and why is it just not in the original file (vs being added later)?
Thanks a ton

Hi...
I'm a bit lost with this thread... I currently have the plugin, the checkbar that I am in canada but I get wrong catalog.
Is there a thread or instructions that sammarise the steps (if any) to make the XBMC plugin for Windows fully work with the Netflix in Canada?
if I edit the file iqueue and replace all netflix.com with netflix.ca, will it work properly?
Thanks..
