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

Hi,

What should be the playercorefactory.xml for the Mac OSX should be ? I have set this as and safari simply launches to my home page.


Thanks

Code:

<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="IE" type="ExternalPlayer">
     <filename>/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari</filename>
     <args>-k "{1}"</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
    </player>
  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule name="html" filetypes="html" player="IE" />
  </rules>
</playercorefactory>

That's a good question, i've pinged one of the folks that got it working under OSX for the details of what he used. Maybe try removing the -k from the args (guessing)

I tried removing -k, but Safari app doesn't take any argument unlike IE or Firefox. I guess I have to use "open". Will give it a shot.

Not even /usr/bin/open is working. May be someone who got it working on Mac OSX, please share your playercore settings.

Thanks

Edit: Never mind, I got it working with /usr/bin/open (i forgot to close the </filename>). But the next issue is that I am playing it from firefox since that my default html handler. I can see that a new tab is opened in firefox and the movie plays. But the XBMC screen remains in full screen mode. Shouldn't it switch to firefox window and make it full screen ?

Anyway to change it to htmlx instead of html ?
Then I can try safari as default htmlx handler and run /usr/bin/open. That way I can test if the behavior is same as firefox or different.

cool i see you have it working
please post the full .xml file if you would and i'll pop it into the first page

the file extension could be changed in the scripts, let me see where all it's linked
looks like there's 6 links to it, it could be made a user setting later
if you would like to change it as a test on your system you can modify the lines in the iqueue.py
search for and replace it

I changed the iqueue.py file and replaced all + '.html' to + '.htm'. Also changed the default handler of .htm to safari. Now safari launches the movie in the background while xbmc window remains full screen in the foreground. So, the behavior between firefox and safari remains same. Anyway to switch so that safari comes in full screen in the foreground ?

Thanks

Here is my playercorefactory.xml file


fekker, this is awesome plugin, will stop me from switch to Plex or my LG dvd player if I can use neflix on my htpc and use remote. Please suggest what can be done regarding the foreground issue.

Willing to debug it for you.

Thanks

Sorry for the spam .. apologize in advance.
I set the hidexbmc to true. That open safari window but its not in the foreground. I have a terminal window opened and safari starts behind the terminal window. I dont have a mouse at that time, till I switch to safari window via expose.

try with -n in the args
<args>-n "{1}"</args>

i think that's what was meant in this post

No, -n doesnt help either. How about forceontop which was in pre 9.11 ? Will it work in the latest beta ? I'll try that.
