WANT TO REVERT TO THE OLD NETFLIX HERES HOW- if your like me (and pretty much everyone ive talked to you hate teh new netflix interface. why they literally screwed up everthing about it i dont know. but the good news is the old netflix app is still on your xbox and you can still use it.
STEP 1 hit the xbox button and goto the gams tab and select quickplay,then goto the al tab on the right and scroll down till you find the old netflix app (it should be a little white flim strip in th emiddle not the shiny red on at the top) select this now. you should get an error message but jsut click ok
STEP 2 now you should be at a netflix screen that tells you theres and error and you need to register netflix on this console and it should have the register code in the background covered by the error message.leave it on this screen and then
STEP 3 go online to your netflix account and click on the YOUR ACCOUNT & HELP link at the top rigth. it will bring you to the accpunt page scroll down a little bit and under the WATCHING INSTANTLY ON YOUR TV OR COMPUTER section click the MANAGE NETFLIX READY DEVICES AND COMPUTERS LINK. then click the disconnect device button and confirm
STEP 4 finally got back to your xbox (which should be on the netflix screen with the error message and the option to TRY AGAIN click this now and it shoudl remove the error mesage and show you the registration code enter this now on your computer and presto the Old (and much better) netflixs app.
you can use either app now without having to do all that stuff again but you can only access the old netflix app through the quickplay option. if you click on the netflix icon it will brign you to the new (and annoying) one. its so sad that we have to do this they shoudl simlpy give us the option of which we want to use but they would rather force the new on on us anyways ENJOY GUYS and thumbs up if you found this usefull
Regardless, absolute credit to Fleshpuppet for this info. I'm creating the thread that way people who don't like the new Netflix have an idea how to get their beloved previous version back. Unfortunately, no fix for the new Dashboard...probably won't be =/
However, if you were already on the old Netflix you can stay on it for as long as you wish to keep your Xbox console running...so at least you can get a few final moments with the old setup before wishing it farewell (unless you're one of the lucky few it doesn't corrupt for).
OH wll not 10 hours after i posted this they disabled it. WHY i ask you, do they care if i want to use their old interface. it wasnt hurting anythgin by allowing me to use the older (and far greater) program espically since its on my xbox still just sitting there on my harddrive. this is like cyber facisim. i dont like the new version and im not just shouting whiney non sese complaints but i had VALID reasons and it jsut a dick thign to do. so even though ive been and XBOX LIVE subscriber since the original xbox and even though i jsut puurchased an xbox kinect bundle for christmas. i will be returning it and canceling my subscription. turning off my auto renew and gettign a netflix box from netflix.com. i know they dont care and that to them it doesnt matter but i was a diehard xbox fanboy and now i hate the service. PLEASE i urge yo uto call 18004myxbox and let them know your displeasure and perhaps they will fix at least this but i doubt it.
To authenticate the app you need to get a refreshtoken from the XBox live ID service.
You need to use a private/incognito browser mode and go to the URL:
_authorize.srf?client_id=0000000048093EE3&redirect_uri= _desktop.srf&response_type=token&display=touch&scope=service::user.auth.xboxlive.com::MBI_SSL&locale=en
After login the browser shows an white page. Its the URL you are interested in, in that URL the refreshtoken is available. Copy that token and open the app settings, paste the token in and press save.
Now the apps should show nice artwork.
The homey oauth2 flow is not working in this case since we do not have a proper app registration available, so I need to find a workaround to retrieve the URL from the settings page, but did not find any so far
Perhaps it would be helpful to do a comparison in output from the C# code and your JavaScript code? That would mean you initialize with the same IV and such, then compare the final message to something you know to be correct. At least you might be able to narrow down the area of the code in which the problem may lie.
I also have been thinking about comparing from a working implementation, but in the encryption part it quickly turns into the scramble using some process unique random keys so they would be incomparable, as designed
And you are right, I am also not yet clear what I want to do with it though, but a fun challenge non the less I was thinking on a netflix light scene and a Plex light scene and a game scene. Stuff like that would be cool. But for me it just was troubling that most of my devices are now connected and managed by Homey and the king of the lot, my console collection, is ignored.
Tried to get the python working by installing a ubunto distro on my windows 10 device. Figured out how to update pyhton and pip and installed the xbox-smartglass-core module. Than figured out how to execute the tui. It made me authenticate first and presented me an empty screen (while my console was powered on) pressing the refresh kills the tui with an binding error on the udp listener.
Not sure what you mean with saving it. It used and than new ones are retrieved behind the scenes.
If you followed the instructions and used the authorize link succesfully you ended up in a blank screen with a URL that holds the token. Taking that token and storing putting it in the box should authorize the app.
The app is still beta so I do not clearly show that the app is authorized. Just test it out buy starting for example the Netflix app on your console. If the console device in homey is showing the netflix artwork than it was authorized properly. After that there is no need to ever reauthorize.
For the basic Xbox companion behaviour you do not need to do this step. Its only required to get the pretty running app info.
Small update to test with Nexus button fixed and updated to the new openxbox core package. It had a exception on protocol level cause the app the crash once in a while. They fixed that now, so hoping for some stability improvements here.
A new test version has been published to update it to SDK3.
It seems to have troubles with the Xbox series when it comes to the fancy features (showing the active app or button controls for example)
