When the hotfix Microsoft Netflix support in Media Center?

Every time I run the Netflix player of in Windows Vista (32-bit SP2) I am invited to log on to Netflix and presented with an error "there was a problem of signing."

* I have read and followed the tips at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972496
* I have not all ASCII characters senior weird in my e-mail address or password
* I'm back to a March 7, 2011 Restore Point
* I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin from Netflix and Silverlight
* I deleted my cookies and cache in Internet Explorer
* I properly connected and watched movies from Netflix through the IE web browser but not WMC
* I restarted several times

I noticed that several other application vendors had problems with their Netflix viewers around the same time and most of them already corrected.

I performed a network packet capture and noticed Media Center tries to authenticate to the web service of Netflix OAuth and she receives a 503 Service unavailable from Netflix answer.

I called Netflix support and was told to contact Microsoft, because the problem is NOT with the Silverlight Netflix Player component; the problem is with the Microsoft-developed MCML-BASED component.  Support for this issue lies squarely with Netflix AND Microsoft since this is a problem BETWEEN the TWO component MCML-BASED and the Netflix authentication system.

I tried the instructions in the following link, even if it's for Windows 7; It did not help either:

Hi DLKay0

 

You have Internet explorer 9 RC version installed on the computer?

If you have no internet explore 9 RC version installed then you can check if the installation of the final version of internet explore 9 help solve you the problem.

  • Error Application Netflix in Windows Media Center when you search

    The Netflix in Windows Media Center Extender works for me but very recently the ability to search other titles give me an error dialogue box titled: text of The Application error : there is a problem with the application at this time. Try again later. Is followed by a different error dialog box: Service unavailable, text: this service is currently unavailable.

    The web interface works very well. I love the interface with Media Center, but the inability to search makes it tedious.

    Digital cable Advisor

    I can't get the digital cable Advisor in Windows Media Center in Windows 7 Home Premium.  After I installed Windows back me to the same Setup screen.  From what I read on the program, after installation it is supposed to start.  I checked the Extras Gallery and it does not appear there after installation.

    I started taking screenshots of the process tonight and of course the DCA installed successfully and actually worked!  My system has passed the test.  I tried installing in DCA 100 times before and never had that day!

    I suspect that the root cause was due to a problem with the motherboard that was recently repaired.  At least that's my story and I stick to it!

  • The hotfix Microsoft Agent - downloaded file is faulty

    A MICROSOFT WINDOWS PATCH HAS A DEFECT IN THE PROGRAM

    ************************************************
    SUMMARY/BRIEF ANSWER:
    ************************************************

    It's the Microsoft Agent PATCH

    (Defective file: 395039_intl_i386_zip.exe)

    HOTFIX is suggested for Wndows 7 but:

    (1) the work does not correctly; and (2) do not extract properly

    The first problem is caused by the incorrect and misleading program asking for a password. This password request appears to be an artifact of programming.

    The second problem is confirmed by selecting a place known for the extraction of file: it can easily be confirmed that the file - which is supposed to be self-extracting - does not extract directory/folder location.

    NOTE: The deceptively program reports that the files of zip archive was extracted, although, as it is easy to check, this is not the case.

    My system is a HP Compaq Presario CQ42, which has Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed.

    ************************************************
    LONG ANSWER: (read optional))
    ************************************************

    I downloaded the Microsoft Agent Hotfix from the Microsoft site.

    This is the fix that seems faulty - in more ways than one:

    395039_intl_i386_zip.exe

    It's supposed to be self-extracting and solve this problem, but it doesn't seem to be mining and requires a password that is not defined. I am the owner and the only user on my laptop and have no trouble installing anything else - if any program wants to make chamges on my Kaspersky 2010 (my internet security program) hard drive request confirmation. (Who did not with this fix, which wasn't even a problem.)

    Here is what happened (as noted in my response to feedback from the site in the feedback form page that I came back after that extraction of fix seems to be constantly failing, while at the same time have reported that it had extracted from the zipped file).

    MY FEEDBACK SITE CITY TO MICROSOFT RESPONSE:
    __________________________________________________

    "I downloaded the fix for Microsoft Agent, but he asked me for a password. I tried to jump and I tried to use my administrator password, and I tried "Empty space" as password - if she says that all the files have been extracted this wasn't the case, I think - Norbert, they were extracted into a directory by default, not the selected one - because, although I tried to do the extraction with the default directory I also did it with an another directory - THE FILES WERE NOT EXTRACTED IN IT!

    "Why so the hotfix dialog box saying they were when they were not...". and has been the password requested my password administrator or something I know that Microsoft has left in the hotfix by mistake? »

    POSTSCRIPT:

    If the fix installed properly, then he did it in a default directory (C :) regardless of my choice, this rental selection dialog box is so confusing and misleading.) I have no way of knowing if she was installing because I can't extract zip archive in a known directory.

    Demand for the password dialog box is also source of confused, and if a password is not necessary so that this dialog box is doing here? And what password he asks? (Apart from requiring a password, this dialog box offers two other options 'ignore' and 'always jump'. I wish that all passwords have been so EASILY OBTAINED [by me at least!] ... apparently, apparently, or did the extraction FAIL - for reasons of security, that could be because the programmer has left a password security Microsoft internal dialog box in the code for the calculation of fix to still hampered by no other in Microsoft while he or she wrote the program for the patch?)

    (By the way, I don't know why you make more Agents - one to talk to, maybe - they are so cute!)

    Thank you, Andrew!

    I did as you said: I received the password in the email I received.

    Then, I downloaded the hotfix file by using the hyperlink providedinthe email to access the patch correct download page. It's simple and straightforward.

    It seems to be exactly the same file I had already downloaded that didn't work before (without password).

    I used the password to unlock the zipped file.

    Two files were extracted from my chosen target (a folder to unzip) directory:

    Hotfix.txt

    and...

    Windows6.1 KB 969168-x 86.msu

    I clicked on the .msu file and the patch was then automatically and correctly installed on my computer.

    Thank you

  • How can I change the video display Mode when the monitor mode not supported?

    While creating my new monitor, I changed the computer video display mode at 120 Hz by accident.  Now I see something on the monitor other than the words not taken in CHARGE the MODE.

    My system is a new HP Pavilion p7-1423W running Windows 8.1 with Intel i5-2320 3 ghz

    I tried the start mode by pressing ESC on power but do not help the startup options.  And the just F11 menu option makes the startup screen disapear and puts the monitor mode not supported.  Tapping F8 doen't work and tapping F12 just puts me in the bios menus that do not help.

    How can I upgrade the video card integrated with a video mode that is supported when I can't see the screen?

    I answer my own question because I found my solution, thanks to my grandson (freshman to Renselear Politech).

    I shoot to buy a monitor that displays a refresh rate of 120, so I could put my rear view.

    Here is the solution.

    My computer double exit DVI.  My grandson told me to connect my new monitor to the other output because the output does not get touched when I changed the original mode of production.  He has worked and is automatically selects the default monitors mode.  Then I've reconfigured the original output using the integrated display software. Solved!

  • "IR hardware not detected" error when you try to configure the TV signal in Windows XP Media Center 2005 with Service Pack 3

    I have an HP dv6000t. He came with Yuan EC680 ExpressCard analog TV
    Tuner. When I upgraded to Vista, the IR receiver seemed to be detected,
    but after downgrading to XP MCE 2005. XP MCE 2005 was the ORIGINAL OS
    on the system (bought in November 2006). I've updated the drivers for the TWO

    address this problem. Any suggestion on how to solve this problem would be greatly
    appreciated. What HP had try me, including Sofpaq fixes are not
    address my problem. It does not give the error "IR hardware not detected".
    overnight, it correctly detects the signal from my digital cable box.
    The main problem could partly be the we FINALLY converted to digital television
    signal and I always try to use the analog tuner ExpressCard? Once again
    any help is greatly appreciated.

    I found this fix on another site.  We're supposed to plug the IR cable to the TV box at the back of the first port on the remote sensor Windows Media (the ' antenna' of the Windows Media Center remote control) and then to put the tip of the probe of the IR cable to the cable TV box distance near the sensor on the cable box (it can be seen by a light in the glass) and then complete the configuration of the channels in Windows Media.  The problem is, it does not work unless there is also something connected to Port 2 of the medial distance sensor Windows as well (a head set will do).  With the sensor box IR cable company cable plugged into the first port in the back of the remote Windows Media sensor and headphones plugged into Port 2 of the remote sensor, Windows Media, and the end of the probe of the sensor cable box IR cable near the cable box remote sensor box, Window Media channel setup "found" the cable of the IR sensor and allow me to complete the installation.  I could not bind the Windows Media remote sensor with the remote for the cable box, but said that I managed.  I use the remote cable box to change channels and have box IR cable connected on the decoder cable TV and put the cable box IR receiver cable on top of my desk.
