Could the problem be location-related? I'm in Ireland...

Are you using the latest build of MC? Does it work in normal Google Chrome? Is the Widevine plugin downloaded and in the correct folder?

[Araj]

Hmm. Yes, latest MC and it works in Chrome, but the directory where widevine is installed seems to be different. A search for "widevine" came up with the following:

c:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\File System\Plugins\000\application_x-ppapi-widevine-cdm
c:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\WidevineCDM
c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\48.0.2564.116\widevinecdmadapter.dll
c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\49.0.2623.87\widevinecdmadapter.dll
c:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\WidevineCDM\1.4.8.866\_platform_specific\win_x86\widevinecdm.dll
c:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\WidevineCDM\1.4.8.866\_platform_specific\win_x86\widevinecdmadapter.dll
c:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 21\Plugins\chromium\widevinecdmadapter.dll

As where widevine is installed is apparently beyond my control, Netflix in MC still seems to be out of the question for me. Quite honestly, not being able to go full screen would probably annoy me too much anyway...

Odd, the Widevine plugin should be downloaded into C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\CEF\User Data\WidevineCDM

Try deleting widevinecdmadapter.dll inside of C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 21\Plugins\chromium\ while MC is completely closed, and open it again (so it re-downloads the plugin).

Don't do that, the file ships with MCs Chromium and is not downloaded by Chromium.

data point:
I downloaded the widevine plugin for Chrome from here: http://www.widevine.com/download/videooptimizer/index.html installed it, and then figured out the "Chromium vs Chrome" were two different things, and downloaded the newest version of Chromium.  I launched Chromium by itself, and tried to play Netflix, which failed.  but, strangely, after pointing the MC default to Chromium and adding a webpage to Theater View, both Netflix and Amazon Prime play just fine - except not full screen, which (to me) renders the whole idea worthless.  what a disappointment.

yet to jump back into prime/netflix...

Full screen in theaterview implemented yet?
10' interface?

Thanks

Likely not due to how it works through Chromium + the Widevine CDM plugin.
