The biggest change in this release is full screen viewing of “watch now” in Media Center. That is a big improvement. This plug-in is becoming a must have for Netflix subscribers. The full list of updates and fixes below.
Enhancements:
- Enhanced the “Watch Now” feature to play the media in full screen mode
- Added support for pause/play remote control buttons during “Watch Now” playback
- Added a “select episode” screen when selecting “Watch Now” on a TV series
- Redesigned gallery and movie details UI to remove dependency on third-party libraries (modified license agreement and about screen to reflect these changes)
- Added a busy indicator while looking up data
- Added new category - “Watch now in queue”
- Removed numbers from movie descriptions in the gallery
- Changed movie ratings to graphical stars on Movie Details screen
- Changed to navigate back to queue after adding, removing, or moving an item to the top of the queue
- Added the movie caption to the gallery thumbnails while images are loading. If an image cannot be loaded, a “broken image” graphic displays, as well as the title of the movie.
- Added the ability to reorder categories, hide categories, and hide genres
Bug fixes:
- Fixed problems with using special characters in username/password
- Fixed navigation issue when navigating to the end of a large set of movies (ex: Top 100) and then navigating to a small set of movies (ex: Queue) causes no movies to be displayed.
- Changed image cache location from %TEMP% to %TEMP%\MyNetflix
- Added refresh to queue after removing or moving to top
- Added an error message when trying to “watch now” on an extender, now says “Watch now is not supported on an extender.”
- Resolved issues with Netflix player (in Internet Explorer) and MyNetflix being treated as two seperate computers (reduces the likeliness of the “more than 4 computers” error)
- Removed MyNetflixBrowser icon from the Program Library
