  • Plug-in Status: BETA
  • Connected Server: 1.5 ONLY!!! - (download 1.5 server)
  • Connected Client: Connected PC
  • Other Requirements: Silverlight and Netflix Account

Here it is... a BETA of a plug-in that allows you to access your queue and watch "watch instantly" videos via Connected Server 1.5's "Connected PC" client - NOT on the DSM-330 (yet)... this ONLY works on the Connected PC.

Logging in is still a little clunky... you just have to proceed to login, press ENTER and hit back and ENTER again until you actually succeed at logging in, but once you're logged in, you don't have to sign-in anymore... just browse and play videos.

You must already have silverlight and Netflix streaming working on the PC that your DivX Connected server is running on, or this will not work - this is the same PC you'll be using to watching this plug-in. Right now, it does a good job of turning a laptop into a mobile HTPC :-)

There's some more work ahead, like mouse support and letting the video go full screen, and then getting this to work with the DSM-330/Gejbox clients as well, but I thought I'd post it so people had something to play around with.
