Internet

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Intro

The internet screen in xStreamed allows the user a selection of internet related selections. The user can browse the internet, watch trailers and webcams from around the world, even select to view Netflix (provided they have a membership).

Installation/Setup

Using the internet selection to its full capabilities requires two external application. One being Netflix TX Viewer, which is a free viewer that utilizes the users Neflix account to stream video. The user will also have to install Silverlight, which is the default media streaming software required by Netflix. By default the Netflix TX Viewer app should reside in the directory C:\Netflix, otherwise the user will have to modify the location in Xlobby's events (eventgroup: internet/goto netflix).

The second application is the HD-Trailers.Net Downloader that allows the user to download Apple trailers, which xStreamed can be setup to view back through a default player like MPC-HC. By default this app should be located in the Xlobby\applications folder, otherwise the user will have to modify the location in Xlobby's eventgroups (eventgroup: internet/trailer updater).

This manual will not explain how to setup and use the above mentioned applications. But I will comment that Netflix likes to change their website often, which means the Netflix TX Viewer requires constant updating.

Operation

Default view for Trailers and Webcams is the List view

Opening the side Menu overlay can be done by navigating to the right (up in the case if using Coverflow), the user will be presented with options to change the views, to jump directly to different screens (Main menu, main internet, settings), or options to delete entries in the database, and to do a refresh.
