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!
Hi,
I like this plugin very much! Sadly, I have a little problem with it: As I live in Austria, a German speaking county, I want to watch the Netflix movies in German. But within the plugin they always start in English language with German subtitles! On the Netflix homepage under settings, I have German as my default language. I also can`t find a way to change the language of a movie within the plugin per remote control.
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.
The developer for the popular VMCNetflix plugin has created a new Streaming Video plugin for VMC users. This latest plugin called VMCPlayIt is an add-in for Microsoft Windows Vista Media Center which provides a front-end interface to the PlayOn digital media server software for Vista Media Center PCs and Extenders. The PlayOn server software (see ) currently supports Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, CBS, CNN, ESPN, and more.
I purchased PlayOn when it was in beta to view Netflix, Amazon VOD and Hulu on my SageTV HD Theaters. It was a bit cheaper at that point and I'm not positive I'd pay the $40 for the current version as it still has some bugs and isn't the easiest to navigate. But PlayOn does offer a 14 day free trial so if you're a Windows Media Center user, give this thing a try and let us know how its working for you.
Kodi is not available on oga/rk3326, orangepi-zero2, rpi1 and rpizero2-based images due to not being able to play videos well and a lack of rotation (most oga/rk3326 devices' screens are actually in portrait aspect ratio rotated 90 degrees). This may change in the future as developments are made.
Kodi is a free and open-source media player software application developed by the XBMC Foundation, a non-profit technology consortium. Kodi is available for multiple operating systems and hardware platforms, with a software 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls or gamepads. It allows users to play and view most streaming media, such as videos, music, podcasts, and videos from the Internet. It supports all common digital media files from local and network storage media.
When you first run Kodi, many of the binary add-ons that ship with Kodi are not enabled. To view your add-ons, navigate to Add-ons then My add-ons, which will list all of your add-ons by category. Here is a list of some of the add-ons you might want to enable:
If you have a Netflix account, you can use Kodi to watch Netflix shows. However, by default, you'll need to enter your Netflix credentials on each reboot. The reason is, by default, Batocera Linux creates a unique machine-id on every boot, and if the Kodi Netflix plugin sees a new machine-id, it requires you to log in again.
Adding the Youtube add-on for Kodi requires a bit of manual work, and some knowledge on how Google services use API keys and application access rights. It's NOT easy to configure for anyone, unfortunately.
These keys are very long, but there is an option to help you with copy/paste: toggle the Enable API configuration page and then you can enter the three fields above if you point your browser to :50152/api.
Batocera can check for if a network server (e.g. NAS, SQL server, etc.) is available or not before starting Kodi. This can avoid situations such as where Kodi might be set to start on boot and starts before the network connection is available, causing a variety of issues (videos not playing, shares not loading correctly, crashing issues, etc.)
The remote controls the media player via Bluetooth (which means you do not need to direct the remote towards the media player and that the media player can be hidden). The built-in microphone enables Voice Search functionality. Besides, the remote can use IR channel to control TV and A/V receivers.
The media player has the built-in IR receiver and can be controlled also by IR commands (Google IR codes). This means you can use 3-party programmable or learnable remote of your choice to control the media player, or integrate the media player with your smart home via IR. For example, you can integrate the media player with a smart speaker by using an IR emitter device controlled by the smart speaker.
* To use Dune HD media center functions, an app should be installed. The app is under development. Some of the listed features will become available in future app versions. See here for more details about the current app status and updates: -hd.com/app
