I am still new to Xlobby but I believe I installed the Netflix correctly based on the readme. However, there appears to be some type of corruption that I can't overcome.
In the plugin setup I only selected my "queue" and I restarted Xlobby and waited 30-minutes for the database to get populated. I have 47 movies in my queue. I have a database called "nflx_queue" and I see all 47 movies listed under the "Items" section of the DB Editors.
However, I see that there is some type of corruption where data from the first movie in my queue is replicated across all the movies in my queue. And every single movie has the Coverart for the first movie in my queue. To explain in more detail the first movie in my queue is "Starship Troopers" and it captured the following data per field:
Coverart: C:\Program Files\xlobby\plugins\xnetflix\cache\movies\\.jpg
Display: 1- Starship Troopers
stars: C:\Program Files\xlobby\plugins\xnetflix\cache\images\stars_1_34.gif
cast: Casper Van Dien,Dina Meyer,Denise Richards,Jake Busey,Neil Patrick Harris,Patrick Muldoon,Michael Ironside,Clancy Brown,Seth Gilliam
runtime: 130 minutes
genre: Sci-Fi & Fantasy
ratingtext: For graphic sci-fi violence and gore, and for some language and nudity
rating: C:\Program Files\xlobby\plugins\xnetflix\cache\images\rating_R.gif
title: Starship Troopers
plot: but the question of his identity perplexes him as he fights to stay alive. Franka Potente co-stars in this action thriller based on Robert Ludlum's novel.

year: 1997
director: Paul Verhoeven
When I go to the second movie in my queue I get the following data:
Coverart: C:\Program Files\xlobby\plugins\xnetflix\cache\movies\\.jpg
Display: 2- Raiders of the Lost Ark
stars: C:\Program Files\xlobby\plugins\xnetflix\cache\images\stars_1_34.gif
cast: Casper Van Dien,Dina Meyer,Denise Richards,Jake Busey,Neil Patrick Harris,Patrick Muldoon,Michael Ironside,Clancy Brown,Seth Gilliam
runtime: 130 minutes
ratingtext: For graphic sci-fi violence and gore, and for some language and nudity
genre: Sci-Fi & Fantasy

title: Starship Troopers

And it repeat the same symptom for the remaining movies. So it looks like it get the correct "Display" field but everything else is corrupted for all the movies. And it doesn't get the Coverart for each movie correctly. And it looks like it cutting off the plot also. The <xlobby>\plugin\xnetflix\cache\images only contains two files: rating_R.gif and stars_1_34.gif. The <xlobby>\plugin\xnetflix\cache\movies only contains two files: .jpg and .xml
I suspect that something on Netflix's website has changed that broke the Netflix plugin. I am using xnetflix v0.5 and XLobby 2.0.7177.12 which is the latest and greatest right now. Can anyone provide any help on how to resolve these issues?
