Latest changes

Netflix made some more changes last night, including changes to the
server-side generation of the queue. Now the class assignments for
rows in different sections of the page appears to be handled by client
side javascript. So we're left without a per-table row specific way
to differentiate each row's status (home, queue, saved).

It can probably be done in stages instead, by grabbing the entire
table per status section, then grabbing each row out of the table.
I'll try to look into it tonight, but if anybody gets to it first,
please commit / send a patch.

Editorially, that was kind of a lame change. And my queue page in
Firefox eats up a lot more CPU than it did before.

Yeah, should have posted notice after I committed ;) Sorry about
that, I'll work that into the workflow.

I think the apple.com listing is currently only updateable by me. I
think that needs to be changed. I wonder if it can be.

hey,
there are rss available for queue,movies at home etc. we should use
them what do you think

I've suspended my account for the next three months, so someone else
is going to have to be in charge of development for at least that
long :)

I was thinking about that, but I don't recall if the RSS feeds have
all the info resident in the queue view (expected arrival, mostly).
If they do match to the queue page, I say it's worth looking into.
Find a GPL RSS parser in javascript and our maintenance tasks are
basically nil, it will just be features from here on out.

Any other thoughts?

will be working on incorporating the rss. probably next week. This is
the information we have right now

which i think more than good for the current needs.

Hi,

Looks as though the feeds have the basic information that the current
dashflix provides, but none of the extra stuff (availability, genre,
star rating, etc.) that I found useful and put into my little modified
version. Oh well, might be more stable anyway.
