Title: Netflix won't connect in options
Post by: dwvaughn on February 19, 2015, 03:42:55 pm

I just tried to add my Netflix account to Media Center and when I click on Netflix -> Connect a Netflix account" it just flashes the screen and then returns to the services screen. Nothing happens.  Log file attached. Any thoughts?

Bump. I'm still not able to connect my Netflix account.

Netflix closed their API.  Search here for more recent threads.

Thanks Jim.  That's a shame.

I was able to find a work around that seems to work pretty well using the Netflix Chrome App and the Flix Plus Chrome extension by lifehacker.  Just launch the Netflix Chrome app using the appid as a command line argument and the Flix Plus extension makes it so I can use my remote. Now I just need to program my exit button on my remote to quit the Netflix Chrome App.
