How to intergrate Netflix as seemless as possible.

Thats very wierd. Never happend here infact it's very responsive.
In the mean time the exe has been updated twice first with your suggestion "ctrl+x" to solve the search issue. But then I found that the "esc" has no purpose in WMC, and I changed it to that to be more in line with the XBMC keys. Maybe you got the buggy "ctrl+x" version downloaded?

If you still want to use "x" as the exit key, I can try handle the key different in the script and you could test it to see if it works better?

Anyways "esc" is the best way I could think of. So that will be the final key.

BTW. I have never used or tried MediaPortal, maybe that is interfering some way. But really I have no clue here. Sorry.

Rewrote key in script different. Though it seems James is the only one getting a bug??

Accessing Netflix this way are you able to stream HD audio?

I currently use XBMCFlix and it works very well, however even when the content is marked as "HD" by netflix, the sound is never streamed in anything else but Stereo.

I am able to hear multichannel audio from other sources (Movies, TV Shows).

Hi jhusch,
I have an older highend stereo system so i really don't know.
But I can tell you that it has absolutely nothing todo with the snetflix.exe.
If anything it must be the WMC Plugin, have you configured WMC with the correct number of speakers? Press backspace once in the Netflix and go to settings in WMC.

I'm only just beginning to look around for a surround setup, so I would not be able to tell you in quite a while if I get the same "bug".

Hmm.. Maybe I can borrow a USB surround card to morrow, hack something togheter to get sound and see what happens.

I'll let you know how it goes.

BTW. I assume you do not have the problem playing the movies directly in a browser?
Anyways check the WMC setting.

Oh I havent configured it yet I will tonight when I get home. I know with the HDMI Audio as far as windows is concerned it only "sees" two speakers. However when you play a HD audio source my Receiver is able to decode it.

When I configure this tonight I will post and let you know what I find out!

Thanks.. I like to know to.

Oh and BTW. For everyones information. I put all updates in the first post.. Heh.

I believe the only Netflix capable of steaming 5.1 audio is the PS3. I know when they announced that 5.1 the PS3 was the only device mentioned by name, stating that other devices would be coming soon.

I just did a google search to see if this had changed, but I couldn't find anything conclusive.

I'm pretty sure that pc/macs aren't on their high priority list because most people using those devices are using crappy laptop speakers.

I have been using Netflix streaming on htpcs for almost 4 years and have never gotten a 5.1 audio stream no matter what I've used to access it.

Like you I could not find anything conclusive.
But everywere you read it seems to be expected for most if not all systems late this year. It also seems there an old site about some conversion for some dodgy surround: http://2011/02/netflix-tip-how-to-get-su...sound.html
Have not read it.

I'd like to hear about the results though.
