Installation and Setup

On your frontend machine: (you will need to do this step on each frontend you want to use mythflix on)

The next command must be run by the each user that will be running mythfrontend (for most people this will be just one user). If you're not already logged in as that user, press CTRL-ALT-F1, log in as that user and run the next line of code:

You must now setup some browse-rss feeds in order to spawn mythconverg.netflix (the database):

enter your DBPassword from above. Then, enter the following two instructions, substituting the complete URL for your Queue RSS for "RSS-Q" and the complete URL for your History RSS for "RSS-H":

insert into mythconverg.netflix values ('Queue','NetFlix', 'RSS-Q','http://cdn.nflximg.com/us/icons/nficon.ico', null, 1, '[queueName from above]');

insert into mythconverg.netflix values ('History','NetFlix', 'RSS-H','http://cdn.nflximg.com/us/icons/nficon.ico', null, 2, '[queueName from above]');

exit

You should now have a working plugin. Go to Information Center --> Netflix in the frontend menu to start using it.
