Is the Netflix plugin broken ?

[ipguy]

Hi all

Just wondering if, since the changes to Netflix, the WMC Netflix plugin is still working ?

What changes? Still working fine.

ok well thats good to know...
such a bloody shame WMC is dead...
i guess the xbox one is the only real option moving forward.
(i've tried, Kodi, Emby and MP, none are as good a WMC)

The Xbone isn't really that great either.

What's the problem with the xb one?

Until THIS happens, Xbox One won't be anywhere close to being a WMC replacement. My money is on the Silicon Dust DVR, literally. I intend to keep using WMC until it dies, hopefully many more years.

Even though the Netflix plugin isn't broken at the moment, it is a truly terrible app that I never use anyway. It doesn't support profiles, search requires a hack, and it maxes out at 720p. It made me cringe when I ran it to respond to your question. Years ago, when it first came out, it was fine. But it's been obsolete for a long time now.

But I am curious, if you don't even use it yourself, why did you ask about it in the first place?

I totally agree, I'm sticking with MCE for as long as possible.

I just don't understand why windows doesn't support it as a media centre for HTCP users

I'd love to see a modern remake of MCE

I've used themes on MCE before.

I'm really hankering for MS to rethink the idea of killing MCE and overhauling it
