Oh, I see what you're saying. That doesn't sound like a bad solution... I'm just frustrated that I got it to work before, and it was a nice and straightforward setup once it was going. I'm not a huge fan of any media indexing or transcoding based solutions (tried Plex) just because I keep all my media on another server and I leave it with the downloaded file names, although I usually change the directory names for the movies. Because of this, I never really trust any kind of indexing to be smart enough to account for all the situations its going to run into, and since it's like 5TB of data, I don't want any kind of automated copier/renamer, because I don't have that kind of storage and can't rename the files because they're still in use after the download.crawfish wrote:I don't understand. If you find Netflix in WMC acceptable, why can't you continue to use WMC for Netflix? Like I said, I use WMC solely for DVR and XBMC for all other library-based video, and I have seamless control of both with my remote control. I have buttons defined to start one while closing the other. Works great.Junon wrote:I was actually looking into that, but in the process, I discovered that basically there are no good netflix plugins for any other platform EXCEPT WMC. I think boxee had a good setup when it was an installable platform, but that went away. If I could make my xbox boot directly into netflix, then I'd probably be content to split up the roles like that, but since I can't, I keep trying to make this work.
Also, could you go into a little more detail on your key combinations to start one while closing the other? I don't want to have to start from scratch if I go that route and you've got already got it figured out very nicely. Thanks for your comments btw.
