This looks fantastic! I was pretty bummed when I found out the native app was going away but I think this will be be a lot better! Search has always been so cumbersome, I love the idea of being able to use my phone! Already donated, thanks again!
Shut up and take my money!! ? I was more than a little upset when I got the message that Netflix was abandoning WMC. After mine stopped working, as they said it would, I waiting about a week and then used some Google-fu to see if anyone had come up with a solution. Imagine my surprise when I found not only a way to restore the old Netflix app, but an app for Amazon Prime video AND a plan to make an even better Netflix app.
Awesome! I just donated for your effort alone. I plan to donate more if the app actually comes to fruition.
I also do some development, so I would be happy to contribute or do testing if needed.
Thanks again!
Marc,
Glad to see this is progressing. I am using your patch currently for Netflix in WMC, but had a hic-up today (kept saying no interent connection when I did have one) that got me worried.
I just donated because of the patch you did, and if this comes out, that will be awesome. As said above, having actual support instead of a workaround will be very reassuring.
Downloaded and installed Build 20151130 on two computers. Can not get it to work on either WMC. Goes to the red Netflix screen, stays there of a few seconds, flashes to the netflix login screen, then screen changes to gray screen telling me to make sure I have logged in and hit the green button. Yes I have logged into the account before running.
Thank you. It worked for the most part. I had to restart it a couple of times after having to give premissions. Also flashed an error message about 5 seconds going into the netflix menu for the first time. After the third attempt I was able to start a movie. I did notice that when the movie started I lost my mouse. Is that normal? I will check back to see if the beta has been updated. Thanks again..
I did get it working on windows 10, it kept complaining about silverlight not being installed, went to the history in internet explorer (where it was trying to download it). The link it was attempt to use was: =149156
I then ran the installation and the netflix MCE app worked ?
Thanks! This plugin is looking better and better. However, I am interested to understand the reason for using mongoose.exe webserver. What purpose does it serve? Can we not launch a browserWindow in fullscreen and control using MCE remote? Something like the MCEWebView plugin?
Thanks for a quick response. Thats what I thought it was used for. Will you consider branching this plugin in two versions, one supporting mobile search app and one without mongoose webserver that only supports MCE remote?
Tonight the app seems to no longer be working. Gives either the login needed screen even if already logged in or the script error popup. Note that I have not allowed windows updates in a long time on this machine so It should not be the bad windows update problem.
Hi, I like this plugin very much but I have a problem with it: As I live in Austria, a german speaking country, I want to watch the videos in german. But the videos always start within the plugin in english language with german subtitles. On the netflix homepage under settings, I have german as the default language. I also find no way within the plugin to change the language of the Video per remote control.
Thank you for your help!

I hope somebody can help.
Hi,
I have just updated to the last 1.0 Beta Version. When I start the plugin I get a script error window on the first Screen when I press the upper or the lower key on the remote. So I can only navigate with the mouse
Having an issue where launching the Netflix App within WMC gives me no control with my Harmony remote. Any button I press to move around on the Netflix causes it to go back to WMC main menu while forcing the Netflix page to the background. Only way to get rid of it is to start task manager and force close it. Any suggestions?
Hey Marc Love the app but the latest release does not allow me to search on my phone. It just returns to the search screen. I would really prefer to search on the screen rather than have another device to add to my arsenal of remotes. Any chance something new is coming
Hey Marc, Love the app and a I really appreciate all the hard work you have put into it! I will be donating. One question with Remote use.My remote works fine UNTILL I launch a video. after that there is no control what-so ever . No pause play ff rw anything. am I doing something wrong or is this still in the works. Also I love your Amazon Plugin. Works flawlessly. Any chance of a Hulu App?
Love the app way better than the WMC version Im still running. Just wish I could get the Registry entry to control the monitor it defaults to working. My main monitor is 1, but TV is monitor 3 with WMC. When launched the app goes to monitor 1 :(. Tried multiple variations of registry edits as documented in the README. Could not get it to work. Standing by and will keep checking for a fix in future version. thanks for your hard work Marc (use Amazon too).
DRM issues are almost always related to your setup; be sure IE11 on your PC can play the same video from the netflix website. If it does; email me a screenshot of the error and the name of the video you were trying to play and I will test. sup...@sharepointadept.com
Hi Bobby; the search app was released but later removed due to an exploit found in the 3rd party web server component I was using. Rather than risk further issues I replaced the app with an on-screen remote friendly keyboard for doing the search.

Cable cutting is not new. When there are commercials begging you to make the switch, we get it! If you haven't cut the cable yet, there are a lot of options to choose from. I cut cable in 2010 and went all out... top-of-the-line dedicated home theater computer based on Windows Media Center (WMC), custom Moneual Black Aluminum MonCaso, Hauppauge dual TV tuner card, plenty of RAM and an SSD drive for the OS and a few terabytes for music (remember MP3's!?) and movies. For the last 5 years this setup has exceeded my expectations; ability to record over the air HDTV (ATSC), stream Netflix and watch any web based TV stream. I didn't need any apps or proprietary device because it was a Windows box and despite the fact that Microsoft axed WMC, it worked really well as platform for watching movies and television. A Dell gyration remote control and a Logitech diNovo Edge bluetooth keyboard completed the setup. I did use a few specialty apps to provide remote management and streaming of the media box such as RemotePotato and StreamToMe.
Microsoft lost interest Windows Media Center as a platform and ultimately announced that it would not be part of Windows 10. I wasn't too phased by this since Windows 7 is stable and should be around for a while longer. This was until this year (2015). I started to notice subtle things in the performance and responsiveness of my media center box. I typically leave my home theater computer on and there would be days when I would come home to watch a show, turn the TV on and would get nothing but a black screen. Ctrl+Alt+Del did nothing. I would have to perform a hard reboot to get it to come back. This became a weekly occurrence after a while. When watching Netflix the audio and video would be out of sync. Similar things have happened in the past and the usual course of action... reinstall Windows. These is par for the course with Windows in general and if you have worked with Windows for any amount of time, you know that over time, it just needs a fresh start. I did a reinstall and this time, things didn't get better. The processor in my media box was an AMD Phenom II X4 (CPU benchmark score of 4016) which is decent... one would think that this amount of horse power would be able to provide a decent streaming experience. While I did suspect network latency, I didn't experience any of these issues on any of my other equipment. All the updates (Flash, Silverlight are in there too), patches and codecs finally caught up with a processor that 5 years ago could easily handle the job. It's easy to get annoyed with some of the mistakes Microsoft has made with Windows over the years but this really bothered me. Windows is a versatile OS, more so than anything else available but it's not the best OS for consuming content considering that Windows Media Center is dependent on... well Windows! In other words, to use Windows Media Center I have to drag along all the other pains that come with Windows. Why? I think back to the days of the component stereo where back in the 60's and 70's the radio was a dedicated unit, the amp which connected to the speakers was separate which connected to a turntable. The insides of each unit may have been complex but each unit had a specific task and was designed to do that task well. In today's world everything is a computer in some shape or form. There is a sense of beauty and peace with having a device ("computer") that does one task or maybe a few and does those tasks extremely well. When you want to consume movies, watch TV or listen to music, you don't need that "do everything" OS like Windows. I just want to watch "The Great British Baking Show" with my wife.
