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

So, using XBMC, it runs WMC then Netflix? sounds like an odd workaround. I don't suppose you can give me a step by step to set it up?

Don't register a new api... just use the code posted a couple pages ago. Do the developer walkthrough with those codes and it works.

I really dont get it. Step 3 of the walkthrough just gives me a 404 error. I tried some changes, and I did manage to get the XBMCFlicks to kind of load up the recommended and instant lists without giving me an error, but they were all just empty.
One thing to note is that I still havent seen the page come up to log into netflix anywhere.

I also looked up using WMC, and gave that a try, but it also gives me an error. I think it was a proxy error, and I dont see Netflix in WMC at all.

I did, and got an empty Instant Queue and Recommended windows. A few questions though:

- why the Developer Walkthrough gives application_name=Plex in the token instead of xbmcflix ? Did you register initially your developer credentials for Plex? If YES, why should it work for xbmcflix?
- should one login to Netflix from a US based IP for this to work? Anyone from Canada was able to make it work without DNS change or VPN?

XBMCFLIX don't authenticate with Netflix anymore. So we use Plex's from the Netflix plugin.

Like locoguano said...follow the developer walkthrough on Netflix's site with Plex credentials to get the info for my userinfo.txt. All netflix is looking for is valid credentials to log in and the correct 'GET' commands to pull info from their site. (currently instant queue and recommended work).

The developer walkthrough shouldn't make a difference if you are in America or Canada. The xbmcflix code is configured for American and Canadian residents but since I'm in America. I have not tested this yet.

Thanks.

Did you put APP_NAME = 'Plex', or APP_NAME = 'netflix', or APP_NAME = 'xbmcflix' in iqueue.py?
Where to enter USER_ID received from Netflix Walkthrough?

Also, how to log out of Netflix or login to it from within XBMC or xbmcflix? Any way to check whether you're logged in or out and under what Netflix user account (if you have several)? The only way I found to logout was to uninstall xbmcflix and delete all its files and folders from XBMC userdata.
