I've put together a fix that will restore the native Netflix app in Windows Media Center. I isolated the single file that was changed and built an installer to make replacing the file simple. You can get details on it from my blog: http://sharepointsnapple.com/2015/09/21 ... x-restore/

As we all know Netflix has only to turn off Silverlight support to end this for good. I am working on an remote-friendly alternative that uses the HTML5 Web version of Netflix in Media Center. I will be posting more details on my blog as development progresses. So far I have a test app that can launch the HTML5 Netflix app in full screen and am able to read keycodes from remote button inputs. Work continues.

Hope this app helps get everyone streaming again - at least for now.

Regards,

Marc

Many thanks to all those involved and Marc for repackaging it so it's easy peasy.

Now, where is that Amazon Prime installer at?

If you were receiving the September 15 message you will continue to get it, but Netflix will work. If it's a clean install, or if you recover Media Center using Task Scheduler the message wont be there. If Netflix disappears again, just recopy that folder again. It also does not seem to be removed if you don't have Service Pack 1.

Let me know if you have any problems. If you are getting the Sept. 15 message and you want to get rid of it you can open Task Scheduler and go to Microsoft>Windows>Media Center and run MediaCenterRecoveryTask and ObjectStoreRecoveryTask and wait for them to complete, this will restore WMC to default. It may take a long time to complete. Be warned you will lose all settings including your Recording Schedule, channel line-ups, etc.

is there any reason why Marc may be locked out of his account "KerrAvon"?? (per post at his site)

Check the folder c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\Packages\MCEClientUX\UpdateableMarkup. The DLL should have a size of 2810KB if the fix was applied successfully. Also - be sure to exit Media Center BEFORE applying the update.

Also - check those numbered UpdateableMarkup folders for a dll dated on or after 9/15 - if so - then that is the active folder and I will need to modify my installer accordingly.
I'll be incorporating feedback into an update for the installer as needed.
