[RELEASE] XBMC Flicks - Netflix Movies / TV Shows (Video) experimental Addon for XBMC

Baggies Wrote:How do you install this on an Apple TV? I've gone in to get add ons and looked for xbmc.org but cannot see it as an option.

What am I missing? Does this not work on Apple TV?

Any help appreciated.

According to the first post it uses Silverlight so I doubt it will work on an aTV.

Where is the addon? I can't find it in the repo. This has been asked a couple of times, but so far no one has answered it, so I figured I'd ask again.

Ah, I see that it's listed in the Dharma repo, but not the Eden repo (according to the wiki). Since it was tested and working in Eden, is there any other way to get the addon and install it manually? Or is there some way to force Eden to see and use the Dharma repo?

*edit*
Ok, I should have searched more than just a few pages back. Found the link to the addon.

Hello, I just installed this addon in XBMC running on my apple tv 1G... in the configuration I set OSX to Yes then I open the plugin and I get this message:
Click OK after you finish the link in your browser window.

Can somebody help me by telling me what is the next step?

Thanks in advance.

However when I try and play a title from xbmc, it loads the full screen IE on Window 1. Any idea how I can get it to load on Window 2?

Anyone know how to fix this?

I wonder you can view accounts outsides the U.S.? I am in Brazil and can not watch movies from my account.

you should change your IP to american IP , then you can watch 'em
use software for that

Friend, in Brazil have the netflix problem is that I view the movies on my account that is Brazil.

Thank you xbmcsnapper. I followed your suggestions, and I think I am almost there...

EDIT: I fixed the problem. Used the solution found here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Foru...09d27fd67a

Now when I click on a video it starts to load, but only gets to 7%. Then I get this error message from within the netflix window:


I doubt it is a "real" internet or connection problem, as I can view the same videos just fine directly through internet explorer, and this error only pops up when I try to run through XBMC.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The only thing that isn't working perfectly yet is the browser doesn't obtain focus when playback begins, so I have to click somewhere onscreen before my MCE remote commands will work. Then I can full-screen, escape, pause and play. And Alt-F4 to kill it.

Unfortunately, I did not document all of the things I had to revise/fiddle with to get where I am now, but I have enabled the Canada option in the XBMC-Flicks add-on config setup, I am using IE9 (although you can apparently use any browser you want - see post #192), and the latest version of Silverlight on W7/64. I also tried the IE wrapper which also works, but I don't see why anyone would need that. If I recall correctly, the Canadian-specific changes I had to make were in the iqueue.py file, changing all occurrences of "http://www.netflix.ca" to "http://ca.netflix.com/".

Hope that helps. Other than that, I can only suggest reading through all of fekker's posts.

Can some kind person point me in the right direction to find this plugin.

Check my post a few above yours - I searched the thread (like I should have before I posted) and found the link, and the explanation why this isn't in the repo yet.
