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.
Casa Tunes originally was a software solution that integrated Media Center into Russound and NuVo multiroom audio systems, where you could control and send audio from your htpc into a Russound audio system. Last year all that changed when Casa Tunes came out with their own hardware to support multi-zone audio. With their XLi (6 zone) and their XLe (12 zone up to 48 zones) audio hardware. Casa Tunes allows you to add their hardware (sound cards) to your existing htpc and instantly turn it into a true multi-zone/whole home audio system.
I spend a lot of time on AVS Forums and I was catching up on what people are doing for DIY projects in the whole home audio and distribution solutions and trying to figure out what I could do to rejuvenate my whole home audio project, which is when I came across a post about Casa Tunes. I contacted them to get a review unit of their XLi system after I tested out and played around with the 15 day trial period. I contacted their customer support to see about getting a review unit, and to ask about some issues I had (will cover that later) and within a few days I had an XLi unit to review.
The Casa Tunes XLi system that I am reviewing supports 6 independent audio zones, includes 5 unique audio sources, 4 internal (windows media, unprotected itunes collection, your mp3 collection, as well as shoutcast and other streaming radio). the 5th source, is the external audio source. The XLi sound card is the key to the whole home audio solution for Casa Tunes, the XLi sound card has the 6 zones of balanced audio output, which are 6 individual 3.5mm head phone style ports. The XLi then also has a single 3.5mm head phone audio jack input, which is the 5th audio source. With this 5th audio source you can feed it anything with a head phone jack. You can feet it audio from an XM/Sirius tuner, ipod, zune, smart phone, you name it. You could even feed it another PC audio source by taking the audio out from the sound card are your mother board and feed it back into the XLi sound card so that you could play Pandora in a web browser on your pc and feed that audio back into the XLi card in Casa Tunes and distribute it around your home.
The XLi comes with 6 3.5mm head phone to RCA cables. This allows you to run your audio into external multi-channel amplifiers or AV receivers. In my case I sent two of the zones to my AV receiver, and sent another two zones to two separate two channel amplifiers
Currently in my home I am using a single Squeeze box, as well as Jriver Media Center and use my netbook and my laptop to control Jriver. Squeeze box is in my living room and I send the audio output back down into my basement connect it to my AV Receiver and then the speakers are back up in my living room. The system in my home is quite complicated and at times hard to use. I still have to go down to the basement, turn on my receiver and set the inputs so that my htpc or the Squeeze box is set to my second zone (my Living Room and Garage two zones, single audio source) on my receiver so I can feed the audio to my garage and living room. Recently I started looking around for new solution to my multi-zone audio system and something I could control via my smartphone, or my netbook or possibly even a keypad of sorts. Casa Tunes does all that and more. Casa Tunes can be controlled by almost any PC, UMPC, Netbook. Anything that runs a web browser can control Casa Tunes.
You can also use Nokia N800 series units as well. I was able to borrow a nokia N810 (not pictured) from a friend and with a little bit of work, I was able to perfectly control Casa Tunes from the nokia anywhere in my house. Casa Tunes web server supports a special UMPC/Nokia mobile page that better formats the page to be used with mobile devices. The only down side is there was a slight lag when using the nokia, I am not sure if it was Casa Tunes software or the nokia device itself. All in all it was a great experience. What I am looking forward to is the Zune Hd, because the Zune HD has a web browser, it would make a perfect compliment to Casa Tunes and create a seamless control experience in your home.
