gobanjoboy:Are there any MCE 2005 NetflixMC Users out there?
I just installed NetflixMC on my MCE 2005 pc today. The pc does have .Net framework 3.5 installed as well. When I click on the NetflixMC icon in Media Center I get a "page cannot be displayed" browser message and a "not designed for Media Center" message. This was after setting up and successfully testing my login with the NetflixMC agent. I should mention that during the test login, Netflix automatically started streaming an animated Superman film. Was it supposed to do that? Hoping you can help me get the plug-in working.

gobanjoboy: Hmmm do you have all the lastest updates for MCE 2005?Can you open Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs\NetflixMC.mcl and see url="C:\Program Files\NetflixMC\NetflixMC Plug-in\NetflixMC.xbap" Are you able to see this file? C:\Program Files\NetflixMC\NetflixMC Plug-in\NetflixMC.xbap
Thanks for the prompt response.
I have the April 2006 Update Rollup KB914548 for Update Rollup 2. This is the latest as far as I can tell after checking the Microsoft website.
I opened Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Media Center\Media Center Programs\NetflixMC.mcl. This started Media Center, and after a a brief pause I got the same messages as before. I am unable to see any URL. I am able to see C:\Program Files\NetflixMC\NetflixMC Plug-in\NetflixMC.xbap. Opening NetflixMC.xbap by itself opens my web browser with the url=file:///C:/Program%20Files/NetflixMC/NetflixMC%20Plug-in/NetflixMC.xbap
gobanjoboy: MCL1008:I'm a MCE 2005 Netflix user.I would upgrade to VMC but i can't justify spending a few hundred dollars on vista to replace something that works well.I am greatful you created a plugin for MCE 2005. I tried the plugin, the test in the settings window successfully played video, but I get an application error when attempting to play a video. If you decide to continue developing the plugin for 05 and would like the error for feedback let me know and I'll post it.I would love to see the error... Thanks

Well, I previously installed IE 7, but it caused one of my other applications to stop working so I rolled back to IE 6. It's been so long now that I forgot what it broke. Currently I have IE 6. Also, Firefox is my default browser, although I don't think that matters since Media Center seems to override that and uses IE 6. So is not having IE 7 my problem?

gobanjoboy:Are there any MCE 2005 users out there that have successfully been able to run NetflixMC?Letting me know either way would be helpful.
It would also be much appreciated if, in addition, said users can report which version of Internet Explorer they have installed.
