thanks for the xml on your Eventghost setup. I used this as my base...and this may not be the correct form for my question...so slap me down if so...

I have everything working with the the netflix and XBMC from a software point of view...just not from the remote...I used your file you provided as a base and the only delta is the remote I am using is the base mode...which works great for xbmc...but when I click to netflick window the commands seem to lose focus and I can't ensure the commands work...did you have to do anything to ensure "focus" was on netflix (iexplorer)? or am i missing something?

Code:

<rules action="prepend">
    <rule filetypes="iso" filename="*.iso" player="PowerDVD11"/>
    <rule name="html" filetypes="*html" player="IE"/>
  <rules name="system rules">

see how it says <rules action="prepend"> .. there needs to be an end tag or that section needs to be rewritten as the <rules name="system rules"> ... section is there and ends properly

you can try adding the end tag to the first rules element, but it's going to depend if it will read multiple elements for the rules or if they all need to be in the <rules> .... </rules> section

Code:

<rules name="system rules">

but that might not work

I am using XBMC for windows7 using the PVR build called: "Update: 05-06-2011: (EPG bugfix) Prebuild Windows setup of XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 (github/margro PVR build, updated @05-06-2011)". In addition I am using the configurable confluence skin.

My problem is that xbmc flicks is not available as an add-on. I right-clicked on the XBMC.org and even forced an update and still nothin I found the direct download link (on page 23 of this thread I think) but when I try to install from ZIP file, it still does not show up in the Programs menu.

Any clue what is going on or why this add-on is not in the build that I'm using?

Thanks,
Jeff

Petoria Wrote:After playing around with it to see what works, i've gotten my auto mount and netflix to work by placing

Code:

<rule name="html" filetypes="*html" player="IE"/>

after the system rules. But when I play regular MKV files, it's not using xbmc default player. I'm not sure what order it reads the stuff so I don't know where to put the rules for netflix now =/

fekker Wrote:that means it's only reading the first element named rules, which totally makes sense from an xml parsing perspective.

combine the two rules sections so there is only one element (aka section) that starts with <rules ...> and then ends with </rules>

an quick easy check for xml files is to open them with IE as it checks the xml format for tag errors (those are the areas like <rules>...</rules>)
