NETFlix in France

[Rochabian]

Hello,

Netflix just released in France and I try to use it with GameEx. But when I activate Netflix it gives me a list of movies that should be in the USA, and I can't view them. Is GameEx able to display movies based on the country where we are?

Thank you

Likely this is due to a limitation with the API. Be aware that Netflix API support will be ending soon for 3rd party developers and likely this will impact us as well.

[Rochabian]

Ok so it means that it will not be supported in Evolution?

Only Tom can give a definite answer there, but most likely not from what I understand. It's not so much that GameEx will no longer support Netflix, it's that Netflix will no longer support GameEx (or any other third party developers using the current Netflix API).

[Tom Speirs]

Yes, I don't think it is going to happen. Sorry.

[Rochabian]

Ok but it's not so bad if you can run netflix as an HTML application in Gameex. It' s not working for me at the moment. Perhaps a limitation of the Fullscreen browser? I'm able to see contents of netflix but black screen when launching a video (silverlight problem??)

Thanks for your reply

[Rochabian]

Ok. As it doesn't work with embedded gameex browser, i've run NETFLIX with google chrome in external app

Chrome is set to fullscreen with -kiosk argument and launched with "More Games and programs"

Mouse emulation is set to on to control the netflix interface with my xbox360 pad

So Everything works, i can enjoy netflix on my cab

Good. Anything like that is normally possible with GameEx.

you might also consider the netflicks plugin for windows media center, If HTPC is what your after. Though I don't like it much for series, as it doesn't make getting to the next episode easy like on the wii or ps3 interfaces.

Unfortunately media center Netflix is also US only. It wont even appear unless your set to US locale even if your in the US.
