Will this work with the 360 as an extender?

Watch-It-Now worked fine on VMC box last night but no full screen.  Did NOT work on Xbox 360 extender.

Yeah, I tried it also.  I could not get it to work full screen myself.

If you could make this plugin for the XBMC, this would freaking rock hard!

I was excited to see that this plugin handles Watch Now, and it works great on my vista box, but not on my xbox 360.  

Is extender support in the works, or is it impossible?  

Great work so far, thanks!

Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Please keep developing this software.

Where do I "donate now" to?

# re: Vista Media Center Gets Netflix Plug-in with Watch Now Support

This is the biggest question: Extender support......

I bought a Linksys DMA-2100 and I am able to watch all my TV recordings like I should be able to. I downloaded MyNetflix and installed it. Had no problems in viewing the movies that were on the "by Genere" but for my "Que" it did not distinguish between what was available for watching on demand or what has to be sent through the mail. The Plug in did not work on the extender. Bummer.

# re: Vista Media Center Gets Netflix Plug-in with Watch Now Support

I have the DMA-2200 and also have no watch now feature. I would love to get that fixed and would be willing to pay to have it.

# re: Vista Media Center Gets Netflix Plug-in with Watch Now Support

too bad it doesn't work with the extender. i've just installed the mynetflix plugin and it works great on my pc, but i can't watch my movies on my tv. pc has appy sound system and tiny screen. i'd love to play my movies through my media center on my 360, but until we get around that extender problem i haven't much use for this plugin.

# NetflixMC Plug-in Does "Watch Now" on Extenders

While Vista currently has three separate Netflix plug-ins in development they all share one thing in
