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

Folks,
I am using Eden Beta.
I don't see the add on listed in the repo. I saw an earlier post suggesting that this may be a temporary thing. Any updates?

I'm currently using XBMC on my second screen (via HDMI)

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?

I just have a quick question.. I have the plugin installed, and linked my account. I can browse TV Shows, and start them fine. But i cannot seem to browse the Movies, other then the Top 25 that is listed on the main page. I can watch the movies IF they are on the Instant Queue. But in order to do that, i added it from the web interface. IS this how it's done? I have to go to netflix.com, browse through movies and add them to Instant Queue to watch them? Or am i missing something here?

Thank you..

You should be able to browse alphabetically, and by genre in addition to browsing your Instant Queue. Also, the search should be functional, but I don't think the experimental search works (I could have that the wrong way around - I'm not certain).

Not sure if this helps but have a look at post #619 about getting Browse by Genre to work. IIRC, that's what I needed to do to get it to work.

I'm new to XBMC, being a long time nextPVR (new GBPVR) user, I stumbled across XBMC when looking for a way to navigate and play netflix from my couch with a remote. I'm in Ireland with an irish netflix sub.

I've installed XBMC and version 1.0.18 of the add-on (cant find the later beta versions) and it navigates some parts fine, but like others just brings up the homepage in the browser and doesn't play. I also have a VPN subscription so can connect to the US and view US content, which plays fine when using netflix via a browers, but via the app just brings up the browser also. So I'm guessing it's related to an irish account, not the location/content actually viewed. Any thoughts? Is this likely to get fixed for UK/Irish netflix users??

It seems to be a limitation of the API which is oly authorised or US accounts. It must be able to distinguish between account nationalities and disable playback on non US accounts.

I'm currently using Kylo Browser as my HTPC Netflux 10ft interface and it works pretty well. Hopefully Netlix will start to allow non-US APIs soon.

I think you're right re it distinguishing between account nationalities and not specifically the location of where the user happens to be. Hopefully they will sort out non US API access. Did they for Canada? Are they available anywhere else where they have or haven't bothered sorting API access? As a clue if they're likely to bother or not...

Thanks for the Kylo suggestion. Never come across that before. Will give it a go! All I want is an interface I can fire up from my PVR and control from the remote...

Friends, I am not able to use the plugin in Brazil! could you help me? where command shows me the movies shows movies hedge and when run from the command error.

Is this currently working for anyone in Canada? I can browse and search, but when I click on a movie or TV title to begin streaming, nothing happens. (Windows 7, eden beta).
