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

New to XBMC, trying to get this to work using Eden on a rather new iMac. When I had the Add-on setting item OSX set to "No", Safari would open up and offer me to link the account, but I got a Script Failed error, when I have the OSX setting to "Yes", Safari doesn't launch. This is really the only thing preventing me from fully switching over to XBMC and would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

See my topics on the previous page. We're working to iron this out now hopefully.

Thanks for the reply, I did read your fix on the prior page, I actually pulled the URL, it is

https://api-user.netflix.com/oauth/login?

and then in XBMC tried the authorization again, but I did not get the authorization screen (I am using Safari). Odd that if the Add On is set for No for OSX that the window pops up correctly, yet if it is set for Yes for OSX, it does not.

So I did try your fix, but it didn't work for me. Thanks again, looking forward to getting this working.

Well I am not that well versed in reading the logs yet, especially from OSX machine, but it looks like your issue is in the line 776:


Right back on page #1 of this thread someone is having the same errors:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...#pid664133

There is a response from Fekker indicating that something is not properly configured with your playercorefactory.xml file and the browser being used to initiate the launch of the link.

Take a look at that post and a few above it that describe the playercorefactory.xml...it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Again I say that the easiest solution may be to download and install a copy of XBMC 10 Dharma....if it works in there, it should generate a userinfo.txt file which you can copy to your 11 install. Or, you can probably just move the entirety of the XBMCFlicks folders from 10 to 11...but I think it is the userinfo file that is giving everyone so much trouble.

where is the link to download this addy?

Hi,

I'm having the same issue as others... when i choose something to watch in Netflix it is launched in the background thru Safari but XBMC stays in the foreground :/

Any ideas ?

Using Eden and MacOSX Lion.

I don't see anyone else stating those problems...the current issues people have been discussing do not match your description. Perhaps you can point to the other posts where people report the same issues as you? If you can point to them, then you should probably read further in the thread - because a solution exists, it was most likely given to those users. If no solution was given, then you may be out of luck. :/

I have no way to test anything at this point on an OSX machine...I do have two suggestions however:

If, as you claim, Safari is properly launching your Netflix episode, it is just showing it in the background and keeping XBMC focused, you can try the following:

System > Settings > Video Output > Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen.

Alternatively, you can try to set your playcorefactory.xml (see posts above) to use FireFox or Chrome instead of Safari...you may not have the issues with those browsers.

Any progress with UK accounts?

Hi im having trouble with my instant queue, the tv shows dont show up unless I have the max items retrieved set to 200 which would be fine except its not retrieving all the tv shows or movies, most but not all. If I have it set to anything higher it just wont retrieve anything at all tv or movies and if set lower it gets movies but no tv shows. From what I can tell everything else works.

Im using eden.

If you post your xbmc.log it would help others help you.
