Please Test New NetFlix Features

[Tom Speirs]

Ive just finished implementing what I think is some pretty wicked support for NetFlix in GameEx.

Could I please have someone in the US with an account test it for me please before I release. I need to make sure its not just working for me.

Thanks.

It does not have any othjer significant changes so it shouldnt break anything.

Thanks.

Sure Ill give it a throw. It didn't work for me before because Silverlight was stealing focus.

Happy to try it on the laptop.

In MCEWebView newer versions of Flash would cause problems with stealing focus. I also believe I had issues with Silverlight. The way I dealt with these issues was to write the following methods.

private void BringWindowToFront(){	IntPtr hWnd = Win32.FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", IntPtr.Zero); // Start bar	if (Win32.GetForegroundWindow() == hWnd)		Win32.SetForegroundWindow(this.Handle);}private void BringFlashToFront(){	IntPtr hWnd = Win32.FindWindow("ShockwaveFlashFullScreen", IntPtr.Zero);	if (hWnd != IntPtr.Zero)		Win32.SetParent(hWnd, this.Handle);}

First I call BringWindowToFront() which would bring my apps window to the foreground, then I would call BringFlashToFront() which gets Flash's fullscreen window and sets its parent to my window.

Previous versions would just pop up the full screen Flash player in front of my window so it wasn't a problem.

I actually had to create and use another app to launch the player so it should work fine. Please try if not alreadfy.

It works. After signing in my laptop to Netflix I ran GameEx and played some Cheers and Family Guy. The system loads and plays my video selections.

I noticed it loads the entire Netflix library though - 10494 items. Is a search feature on the drawing board?

GameEx did not disable my Ambiance file. It just played the video through it.

This is definitely a feature I would use.

So does the DB info run through the plugin system when a movie is launched?

No sorry, not at the moment. I dont think I ever implemented it for videos or DVDs either.

I don't really use my cab for that so wouldn't have thought to try it. Any chance of having it?
