Hi,

So I've managed to make the Netflix option/app show in Windows Media Center here in NZ by:

     

  1. Changing my HTPC settings all to US
  2. Resetting my WMC database
  3. Doing a US channel scan in WMC
  4. Running start /wait mcupdate -u -nogc
  5. Then doing a brand new channel scan in WMC this time choosing NZ as the country option

 

The question is, will the Netflix option in WMC disappear at any stage, or will it only disappear if I was to do a new channel scan setting NZ as the country?


Cheers.

it will probably disappear if you don't reset your country settings back.

Check the following article by gbwelly for tips explicitly for NZ: http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4608


After completing the TV setup wizard, go into the registry and set these keys:

MCE.GlobalSettings\systemGeoID 244 (dec)
MCE.GlobalSettings\systemGeoISO US
ProgramGuide\strCountryCode US
ProgramGuide\srtLocation 19898

Thanks for this. There is so much info out there that it is hard to work out what works and what doesn't. I just don't want to change too many things in my registry which might end up conflicting and breaking something for good. Although regional settings like this shouldn't be too destructive.
