After digging through the code for XBMCflicks and Netflix's API documentation I figured out that the plugin backend needs a rewrite and then the XBMC facing side of the pluging needs to be rewritten to hook into the new libraries found in the updated netflix.py . Things like rental queues were removed last fall from the API.

I just wanted to thank the wonderful information on these pages. After using the XBMC-yabsiehacks-Flicks-0.3 and following the steps for the API key, everything seems to be working pretty smoothly (I've only used the instant queues).

A little tweak to playercorefactory.xml has allowed me to use Chrome instead of IE.

Using an AutoHotKey script I threw together, Netflix will automatically go to fullscreen, and my MCE remote is sending the proper keystrokes when fullscreen for everything except mute (most web sites report "m" as the mute key for fullscreen). I've rolled my face on the keyboard trying to find what key triggers mute without any luck.

I have been trying to get xbmc flicks working, but sadly it hasnt been working for me. I'm in the same boat as a lot of people. I can watch videos from the New Releases sections, but nothing from my queue or from search. I tried astromonkey's suggestion from a few pages ago, but while i was trying to setup my api, i kept getting the error/timeout message, even though i was moving as fast as possible. I then tried using the files stevepro provided, but also to no avail. I keep just getting error message popups. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can try? Thanks

I can't get to it now at work (Netflix is blocked), but something I kept doing wrong.... I am so dumb... As I went through the API process, I kept getting the timeout message. Then I realized that I was pasting the wrong thing. I kept pasting the loooooong line from previous steps instead of the much shorter info that appears before the &. After I did that everything was golden.

I just did mine and it is working, I made the same mistakes as others trying this, just really read what is requested to copy and paste. For example

1 I assume you get through step 1 to get your request token in the box on the screen but that long line of text and caracters is not your token, it is embedded in that line, you have to copy from the = sign to the first &, copy and paste that part in the box below and click on save.

Now your 3rd step will probably work

Was the Netflix-Desktop workaround for XBMC-FLIX ever get worked out?

Well dito here! Now that i actually took a look at that line rather then just immediately copying it, it works perfectly. Thanks!

I ran into the same issue of not reading thoroughly enough of what info they wanted from that long string.

XBMC Flicks doesn't work under Frodo, I digged a little in this topic and found fork on google code - http://code.google.com/p/netflixbmc/
Is it a active, in development build? I wanna add few improvments, so it will be nice to work on working code with major issues resolved.

XBMC Flicks works fine for me under Frodo.

I didn't personally tested but it won't work in betas, so I assumed that it also won't work in final frodo.
So If it's working why fork was created?

Also code github repository at https://github.com/spudsdude/XBMC-Flicks was changed 2y ago - NetFlix implemented many changes since 2011.

I had it working in the betas including the release candidates as well. I haven't looked into why a fork was created, but the underlying code appears to be working fine. The issue was that the developer was using a registered set of API credentials that had expired. If you go to Netflix and register your own set of API credentials and replace his info with your info in the py file, everything works fine. I'm not a big fan of how the plugin switches from XBMC to a web browser to play the video and then back to XBMC when it finishes at least on a Mac machine. It is pretty clunky compared to say the Hulu plugin. A lot of this is because Netflix is using Microsoft Silverlight for DRM purposes.

I'm also a Mac user but my HTPC is Linux-based (it's also a TM server) so I'm looking for a way to integrate XBMC and Netflix. It's possible but require some work.
Situation is also complicated by fact that I live outside US and must proxy API calls through my server in US.

I've tried to revere eng. whole Netflix (also decompiling SL plugin & few ap's) but it's seems uncrackable nowdays. Everything is obfuscated and encrypted.
Looking at used schematics I personally think that some good hackers were involved in Netflix development.

Can't get plugin stop playing - Vamas - 2013-02-13

Hi.
Thanks to this forum, I was able to get plugin display movies. Another issue came up:
- when I'm stopping watching movie (either Alt-F4 or Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Q which supposed to close browser window and return me back to XBMC), it stops but then immediately starts again. It continues infinite looping untill XBMC forcily shutdown from task manager
It is really annoying - decent plugin and such an odd behevior.

Did I miss some configuration or whatever else?

Thanks in advance
