There are a hundred and one plugins to get your queue. That’s trivial. Has anyone managed to script a way to *change* your queue?
You mean besides Netflix?
There are plenty of standalone applications, are you saying you want a web-based version which is not the netflix website? why?
Almost works. Using text only or cover image (they do display) but I’m getting
Warning: Missing argument 7 for netflix() in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/netflix.php on line 13.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
You must set your netflix id in the configuration panel or include it as the 7th argument in the function call.
The configuration panel does not seem to work for me but adding all the parms in the function call did the trick.
BTW, I’m using WP 1.5.2.
Thanks!
Uploaded to plugins directory and it’s not showing up on the admin page. Any ideas? Do I have to configure before uploading?
Thanks.
The information at the top of the plugin that tells you the Author URI, the Plugin URI, etc… all needed to look like this before it would work for me:
Plugin Name: Netflix
Plugin URI: http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/netflix
Description: This plugin displays info from your Netflix account. This includes text and images from your queue, recommendations and recent activity. Inspired by Jimmy Oliver’s MyNetflix Plugin
Version: 1.0
Author: Albert Banks
Author URI: http://www.albertbanks.com
That got the plugin to show up in my admin, and well, I’m about to see if it works past that point. Hope this helps.
Does this plugin work with WordPress 2.0?
Yes, this plugin was designed to work in WordPress 2.0.
When you enter the netflix ID for the variable, are you supposed to use quotes i.e. $netflix_id=”put-the-netflix-id-here” or no quotes i.e. $netflix_id=
Folks & Albert Banks, how did you get this plugin script to work? I activated and configured without any problem. I added the code:
in sidebar.php (default one) but nothing show up…. I tried everything but no luck. Again, how did you get this plugin script to work?
[sorry for double comment. removed the tag since the code area got disappeared]

I’ve been looking for a plugin like this that does exactly this. I can now show my queue and my recent viewings, I love it. Keep up the good work. A possible side idea is have the name of the movie also appear below the image.
[…] Cory and I were talking about how cool it would be to be able to add your Netflix At Home Queue to your Website and I just knew someone had to have made one. So I did some Googling and I think even some Yahooing and got real close when I found a dead link from a guy who made one. Then I found this site: Hacking Netflix, he had a RSS feed on his own site so I emailed him and he sent me this link. […]
[…] Added Albert Banks’ Wordpress Netflix plugin to the website… Now you can see all the depraved films I rent. Enjoy. […]
Albert-
After installing your plugin, and activating it, I am receiving the following error. I am calling the script in my sidebar as:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/t/h/thinkdreams.com/html/blog/wp-content/plugins/netflix.php on line 45
Any ideas why this might happen? I cannot seem to get it to work properly. It’s very confusing, because all the other plugins I’ve tried seem to work OK.
Thanks for your time.

Is there a way to integrate the plugin into a Page? Basically I want to setup a Netflix ‘Page’ and list out my queue, movies at home, etc all on 1 page.
[…] I found the plug-in for the Netflix thingy here. […]
In the “recent” feed, how can I get it to import the info that labels a movie “Shipped” or “Received”? I’d like to be able to display that status in my feed to differentiate between movies that appear in that list. Thanks!
nevermind, figured that out with a simple php edit.
I couldn’t get it to show up in my Plugins manager either (therefore couldn’t activate it) and was banging my head on the desk until I suddenly realized the problem…
I was uploading it to my father’s wordpress site, not my own. DOH!
Once I got it where it was supposed to be, it worked beautifully.
I do wish there were some way to detect when Netflix is sending through an “Image Not Available” graphic and if so, dodge out of displaying the image and instead display the text title.
Thanks for the plugin!

[…] Easy! If you’re using WordPress to power your blog. Download the Netflix plugin, unzip it and upload it into your /wp-content/plugins/ folder. Then go to ‘Plugins’ in your WordPress admin center and activate it. You can configure it by going to the ‘Netflix’ tab in the ‘Plugins’ section of your WordPress admin center. You will need to know your Netflix id - you can obtain that by going to netflix.com (make sure you’re logged in to your account, scoll to the footer and click on RSS.

[…] One of the hurdles was getting the right side column to display everything that I wanted. I was using a great plug for Wordpress called “Sidebar Widgets” from Automattic, Inc. that was allowing me to very easily configure and move the code around in modules, but when I got to the Netflix plugin by Albert Banks it was like beating my head on a wall because it just would not work within the widget.

[…] This is my favorite plugin so far, even cooler than the Netflix one! […]
I got the plugin to work alright, thanks it looks great, but big problem (and it might be a netflix thing and not your plugin) is that I see my feeds are way outdated by perhaps a month. when i click on my feed it shows it up to date, but the plugin shows it a month or more behind.
I had another netflix plugin before (my netflix, I think) and it did the same thing. That plugin used to work fine.
…p.s. any ideas you might possibly have that could cause this, would love to hear!
To answer a few questions…
No, this is not yet widget friendly.
No, this does not with Blockbuster’s service. Since I do not have a subscribtion with them, I will not be adding that feature at this time.
As far as outdated feeds, you should first verify the literal RSS feed from Netflix. Login to your Netflix account and go to your queue. At the bottom of the page click the RSS link. Then click on the RSS file you use for the plugin. This is the file the plugin reads from. If the feed is outdated, this is due to Netflix not the plugin. Another issue could be your cache settings.
I will be making some additions/changes soon. Thanks for your patience.
[…] For those of you that blog with WordPress and subscribe to Netflix, a fellow by the name of Albert Banks has created a WordPress Netflix plugin that will display the movies you have at home on your blog, much like the one that is now on my sidebar. All you need is the plugin and the RSS feed from your Netflix account and you’re ready to go. This plugin can also be modified to display your current movie queue, recent rental activity, and your recommendations. […]
Hi Al,
I’ve installed and activated your plug in. I have also set the netflix config.
I pasted the most basic code into my sidebar.php page but it does not appear to be working.
Was there something that needed to go in between this () in the code?
Thanks in advance.
J.
I have the plugin up and working, it’s wonderful.
However, I am wondering when it will update. I have added movies to my queue and they are not in my netflix-page on my blog. Your thoughts?
Great plugin. I love it.
The only problem I’ve had with the plug-in is that when Netflix shuts down to update its servers it leaves this error when you are Firefox…
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: error() in /homepages/38/d147694201/htdocs/clockworkhalo/wp-includes/rss-functions.php on line 79
and for some reason it makes my entire sidebar disappear in Internet Explorer. Something for you to think about if you plan on releasing any future versions of this.
And yet another update…
Yet another cool little plugin I encountered on my trip through the cyber universe brought to life by Albert Banks. This one takes information from your Netflix Queue and allows you to post what movies you have at home, in the queue, recently rented, …

This technique can be used to incorporate feeds from other sites onto your WordPress blog. There is also a Netflix WordPress Plugin and Netflix Widget to make the process even easier. […]
Your instructions for installing the Netflix queue to WordPress says, “Usage: Add this php code to your template” but it doesn’t say which template. Assuming it’s sidebar.php I’ve tried in a half dozen locations but it doesn’t work. Is there a magic place it’s supposed to go? Thanks.
Pat - Most people put it in their sidebar.php, but it should work on other pages as well. Make sure the theme files you are editing are for the active theme.
Hi, How do I get to the member log in screen?
I love the plug-in, but what I’d like to do is make the images appear in TWO columns, not just one.
I looked at the code, but couldn’t figure how to do it.
If you have any ideas, give me a shout, I’d love to implement it.
I’m sorry for not responding sooner. Work as taken most of my time. I always had greater plans for this plugin, including most of your requests. I will be working on the next version shortly.
I get the following error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/n/i/c/nicjoel/html/wp-content/plugins/netflix/netflix.php on line 48
I’m using WP 2.1, Netflix 2.1, and the Netflix Widget. Any ideas?
I am SO close on this one… I uploaded it fine, then when I want to activate it, it asks me once:
Are you sure you want to activate this plugin: “netflix.php”?
then after I click yes, it reads:
Are you sure you want to activate this plugin: “”?
And I can click yes over and over and nothing happens. I am running the latest version of WP and this most recent addon of yours. Please tell me that this is an easy fix! Any ideas? Please let me know because this is one of the main reasons I am switching from MovableType to WP!
Thanks!!!
That’s awesome ! Thx !

[…] Netflix Plugin - This is actually a sidebar widget/module but it allows you to easily display the movies in your queue, at home, etc. on Netflix with either the movie title or the movie poster (see the sidebar of this blog) […]
Very cool plugin, thanks for developing it.
I noticed as of yesterday that the Netflix cover images aren’t showing up on my blog. I can see you’re having the same issue. Any idea why?
Today I decided to add a Netflix plugin to my wordpress and found this page w/ download. I’ve got it working, but set to just show linked text of the movie title right now, due to the cover images not showing up. When I view the URL of the “not found” image that shows I get address like this:
http://cdn.nflximg.com/us/boxshots/small/ww.netflix.com/Movie/Little_Children/70052692?trki.jpg
If you edit that manually in the address bar, down to:
http://cdn.nflximg.com/us/boxshots/small/70052692.jpg
it will load the picture.
Possibly something in the code needs to be updated to make that same edit?
I just uploaded a new version (2.2) that should fix the image reference problem. Again, I’m working on a more advanced version, so check back soon.
Great. Thanks for fixing that so quickly.
Thank you so much for the fix so quick. Awesome, this is my favorite plug in of any that I have!
I finally got time to implement Wordpress Netflix Plugin 3.0. There is a new movie class and netfilx_movies function.
Albert, first of all, thanks for the great plug-in.
I have the plug-in display the smaller cover art images on my site. A while back, I noticed that some of the Netflix cover art images are different sizes. Most are 64×90, but some were 62×88, and this caused the list to look a little weird. So I edited your plugin code to override the image size and make all of them the same.
As this only happens with a few cover images, it is probably a rare problem. However, I thought others probably have seen it and it might be nice to specify an image display size within the plugin (for small and large) instead of relying on Netflix to be consistent.
I edited line 75 of your code. The example below works only for the small image size; new code to detect “large” image size being specified would be need for large image compatibility.
$display = “”;
Here is the code with the great than / less than removed:
$display = “img src=”http://cdn.nflximg.com/us/boxshots/”.$image_size.”/”.$movie_id.”.jpg” alt=”".$title.”" title=”".$title.”" width=”64″ height=”90″ /”;
Hi Albert,
I’m having an image referencing problem as well. Any suggestions?
http://www.cornerbirch.com
I’m also having the image referencing problem…
http://www.lizzilla.com/?page_id=233
Ohh, getting the following error message:
“Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class movie in /home/u2/ekrocker/evankrocker.com/html/wp-content/plugins/netflix/movie.class.php on line 0″
Any suggestions?
[…] Added a new sidebar element to the right. It shows what movie I have at home from Netflix currently and the next five that are up in my queue. Pretty slick plugin. You can get it here. […]
Can you tell me how you got the Images AND the synopsis for your recommendations (on the live sample page)? Your recommendations have the movie image, then the whole synopsis of the item. I can only figure out how to have images, or to have images and title by using “both” for the display type.
I tried using “raw” for the type in conjunction with the “recommendations” feed, but it only displays the title. Almost like the option isn’t recognized so it goes back to the default of title.
Thanks!
[…] Adds an Automattic, Inc. Sidebar Widget wrapper for Albert Banks’ Netflix plugin. […]
Hi there,
Love the plugin, thanks for making it available!
Do you know why Netflix sends the “image not available” graphic? Especially when one day real images shows up, and the next, they don’t?
I’m sure this isn’t a plugin issue, but if you know the cause, I’d appreciate it!
Thanks,
Jason.
Following up on myself, I edited the php file to change the line
if (preg_match(”#/(\d+)\?trkid=(\d+)#”, $link, $matches)) {
to
if (preg_match(”#/(\d+)#”, $link, $matches)) {
(that is, remove the “\?trkid=(\d+)” section, and my images have returned.
Does Netflix change their feed for no good reason to drop that trkid sometimes?
Jason.
For whatever reason when I tried Jason’s method (comment #84) it caused an error and my entire site ceased to display. Haven’t quite figured out why yet.
If it helps, here’s what that section looks like now for me:
if (preg_match(”#/(\d+)#”, $link, $matches)) {
$movie_id = $matches[1];
}
I’m using version 3.0 of the plugin, on WP 2.2.1
After playing around with it I believe I figured out what I did wrong. Apparently when I fiddling around with my site last time I accidentally loaded in the 2.1 version of the plugin rather than the 3.0 version, and modifying that line in the 2.1 version seems to screw up the coding of that plugin and caused my site to crash.
Jason’s changes (comment #84 and #86) does seem to work for me now that I installed the modified 3.0 version of the plugin. Thank you very much for you help.
Sorry, I’ve been late updating the plugin - I was on vacation. Thanks to Jason (http://jasonian.org/) for the fix. Netflix has often changed their linking to movies, so the code to determine the movie id has to be adapted every so often. Version 3.1 is up and ready for download.
Albert
Answer to Vanberge:
Once you run the netflix_movies function to retrieve the movies, you can use any of the functions in the movie class to retrieve information about that movie (ie. $movie->get_description()):
get_id() // get movie’s id
get_title() // get movie’s title
get_link() // get link to movie on Netflix website
get_description() // get movie’s description (includes image)
get_cover_image($size) // creates html img tag of movie’s cover image
get_cover_image_source($size) // creates source address of movie’s cover image
Thanks!
Thats awesome…
Any way to take the image out of the get_description function though?
i’d rather do a get_image and a separate get_description.
Or is this an rss update that we can’t really get around?
Thanks for the plugin man… really is awesome!!
Netflix has been including the image in the description. I could modify the script to remove it, but the question is should I? Technically, they are making the image part of the description. But in our case, we’re really only after the text. So, perhaps if get_description had the option to remove, that would suffice? I’m curious what people want.
My plugin just stopped working. I am using the latest release, and it was working yesterday…hopefully Netflix is just having a temporary issue with their feeds?
FROM NETFLIX (7/24/07):
The Netflix web site is temporarily unavailable.
It is anticipated that the site will be available again at 9:00 AM Pacific time.

Hi! I’ve been using your plugin for a while and just dug into the Readme to figure out how to show three different queues. The README is really helpful, btw.
I’m unable, however, to show the “raw” option. Whenever I choose it, I get just the title. Here’s the code I’m using:
<? netflix(1, “home”, “raw”, “small”, “<li>”, “</li>”, “P7477471091201833694381953112710603″); ?>
But I only get the title. Am I doing something wrong?
You can see the active page here: http://curragh-labs.org/blog (at the bottom of the sidebar, the third movie uses this code rather than the “both” option).
Thanks for this great plugin.

I added some code to your plugin to widgetize it. (I couldn’t locate Chris Stanley’s code.) More details are posted over on my bloghere. If you are so inclined, please feel free to take the modifications and incorporate them into the next release of your plugin.
