Netflix and Microsoft teamed up in May 2009 to introduce the official Netflix plugin for Windows Media Center, which worked in Windows Vista. More recently, the official plugin has also been released for Windows 7.

I’m glad that MyNetflix was able to be used by so many in the last few years to enjoy Netflix content on their Media Center PCs. At the time I developed and launched the plugin, it was the only option for watching Netflix content inside of Windows Media Center. However, the time has come to retire the plugin. Continual changes to the Netflix website made it difficult to maintain the “screen-scraping” approach used in the plugin, and the newer “official” plugins from Netflix and Microsoft encompass all of the features that MyNetflix had.

As of today, I have removed MyNetflix from my website and will be dropping support for the application. Please continue to enjoy your Netflix service within Media Center using one of the official plugins – I know I do…
