[RELEASE] NetfliXBMC - Unofficial Netflix Add-on (Win/OSX/Linux)
(2014-09-20, 05:42)dversion Wrote: Woah hey! did internet explorer support get taken out!?

I needed it because i have my pc hooked up to my tv as a second monitor (where xbmc runs) and internet explorer opened up on the tv when i used this app, I also had a program that would automatically switch the default playback device to the tv if it saw IE open up.

Unless this is put back in does anyone have a solution for a two monitor setup?

^Exactly This.

I use the same setup, xbmc on second monitor with IE running on second monitor, Chrome used as my standard browser on other monitor.
At the moment, I have to just drag chrome between screens depending on what Im doing. Previously had issues with remote control and IE, noticed Chrome works fine with remote control, so thats a plus!

Would love to work out a way of NetfliXBMC launching chrome on second monitor, then for standard chrome use it opens on first monitor... but so far cant find any way of doing this. IE was my workaround...
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? thanks (and thanks for this great add on btw)

Hi,

I am quite new to this. I have installed pipelight, enabled the silver-light plugin. Installed chrome launcher and NetfliXBMC. I have configured NetfliXBMC and run this. It allows me to login and view movies. However when I hit enter to select a title it says wprking and timesout. please help.

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone else was had an issue with netflixbmc crashing when closed on win7. I works fine until i hit (alt f4) to close and the screen goes blank.

This was working perfectly with ie on win8 before the update to 1.3. Now I can't get chrome to launch most of the time. Or I get multi tabs open error. Remote control commands that I had set up through eventghost don't work anymore either. I've updated chrome to beta version 38+ too.

Any suggestions? Any way to get version 1.2.9 back?

Just to let you know, your addon works with Chrome 37 stable in Ubuntu 14.04. Of course you need the libnss files in 14.04.
Thanks for your feedback. Also nice to hear that v37 is working too. I only found info about Chrome >=38, so I'll leave it as required.

Read the comments here.

Quote:With Chrome 37 stable it works perfectly. Just don't forget about restarting Chrome. There is no actual need for Dev anymore since the latest update. Don't forget to enable EME chrome://flags/#enable-encrypted-media !

Anyway I can't wait for Ubuntu to update those files. No more User Agent string!

+1. It's great the author is updating the script but I don't think forcing us to use Chrome is necessary. I also had this working perfect under 8.1 with eventghost & IE. Can we at least have access to 1.2.9 ?

Not tested - but it should work on helix. At least I hope so.
Okay, after my tests:
The addon itself works, I just have to disable "Get covers & fanart images from TVDB" as this breaks the addon. If I enable this option, the addon gets stuck on "Loading metadata" - If I cancel this, Kodi crashes completely.

Also Chrome does not open in Kiosk-Mode nor in Fullscreen, but I can live with that.
I'll also test it under helix next week.

Mmm. Maybe activating "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" via "Settings->System->Video Output" solves this.

You can try turning "Keep audio device alive" off via "Settings->System->Audio Output".

I tried it on a multi-monitor setup with Chrome and worked perfectly. Just open Chrome manually and put it on the second monitor. Then close Chrome. It will then be started on that monitor next time.
If you are using Chrome for other things than NetfliXBMC and don't want to change your settings/behaviour, you can also use a seperate profile.

When using Windows in combination with the Control Utility, you have to quit Chrome via a mapped key. When using Alt+F4, the Control Utility does not get closed.
Of course, you can also disable the Control Utility and then close Chrome via Alt+F4.

You say you added support for Iexplorer back with win 8.1, how do we use it? I didn't see anything in the settings to change the preferred browser.

Thanks!

What's wrong with you? The message was very helpful: I had the addon installed but did not noticed any update. Only because of the notification I knew that I had to update Chrome.
I had Chrome installed before (don't know which version), and only after installing the beta the HTML5 UI was used. Before only Silverlight. I'm using Win8.1.

Works fine for me. Only Enter / OK on MCE remote is not working for me via IE. So I keep using Chrome.

Because I hate it when devs don't listen. And I see you are using Windows. Right now Chrome 37 stable works in Linux with Netflix. Don't know about Windows. Me I did not have to update Chrome. Don't know about Windows. Why use Beta when Stable works?

What is is wrong with the Dev?

Maybe also Chrome 30 works with Netflix, but to get the advantages of the new HTML5 UI, you need a newer Chrome version.
If you google for "netflix chrome html5" you'll find a lot of info that Chrome beta is required.

Read the comments.

The article also says that you need Chrome-dev ver 37 to get Netflix in Linux to work. Now that it is stable, no problem. Like I said I don't know about Windows.

As you (and the linked article) say, you'll need Chrome dev or beta. Stable Chrome versions are currently not working!
So you are complaining because the dev has written "beta version is required" instead of "beta or dev version is required"?
