Status of Netflix in Windows Media Center - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

coco · 2012-01-17, 04:22 PM

I am hoping someone can help me with my problem. I've looked all over the internet and have yet to find a solution to my problem, if their is in fact one. I am using Unblock-us, and have the Netflix icon in WMC. All seems to work well until attempting to access a movie from the netflix menu in WMC, I'm sent to a page which states: "the page requested /notfound" and forwards me to the login page. I've found different answers on this site from :

"It's one of many things that don't work or aren't part of the Canadian version of Windows Media Center."

but I have also read that you can use the

"VPN trick"

Is it possible to watch US Netflix in WMC at all or am I chasing a dead end?

Thanks in advance

I use it on two computers hooked to TV's at my house. I've seen your problem before.
Uninstall the Netflix WMC plugin and Silverlight. Open internet explorer and in settings reset the browser to factory defaults (I forget the wording) at the very least delete all cookies. Open Wmc and select Netflix, it will prompt you to reinstall Netflix and silverlight.
It should work after that.

Still does not work, I get sent back to the login page. I guess I'll live with it.
