I just finished working on a few new features for MyNetflix, so I wanted to get this out there in public beta. The new version can be downloaded from my Software page, and includes the following new features:
Enhancements:
- New Search feature. This allows you to search for all movies, or only watchnow movies. There is an on-screen keyboard for use with the remote control, and MyNetflix also suggests searches to you as you type.
- Added the ability to select which bitrate you want to use for movie streaming. The default is “auto”, but now it can be overridden in the configuration application. This will be useful for those with slower connections who may have had problems with watchnow in the past.
- Sped up the video playback process when selecting to watch a movie
Bug fixes:

Since I posted version 2.1 of MyNetflix, I have received some great feedback. I just released another minor update today which resolves some problems which were reported to me. The new release is version 2.1.0.2 beta, and can be downloaded from my Software page.
Changes since version 2.1.0.1 beta
Enhancements:
Bug fixes:
- Fixed the “Test” button in the configuration app. This was not working.
- With accounts that did not have WatchNow capabilities, MyNetflix would show the watchnow features and display an error if they were used. The configuration application now correctly tests for this, and MyNetflix will not show the watchnow categories if the feature is not enabled on your account
- Fixed episode selection screen, which broke due to changes to Netflix’s website
- Corrected problem with some configuration options (filtered genres, category order) not flowing through to the extender
- Corrected problems if the location of the Temp directory was changed (by changing the TEMP or TMP environment variables)
