Netflix just stopped working in windows 7 Media Center

Seems like they're still not done patching
I get
"Our apologies -- we could not authenticate this request"

no matter what movies I try
while everything still works fine in the browser

Yesterday 2/18/2011 NETFLIX stopped working on WMC on 4 of my computers running Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit). Tech support at Netflix passed the ball to Microsoft stating that they do not support WMC and it was not theyr problem; total BS since Netflix server response generates a windows script error indicating: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment. URL: https://www.netflix.com/layout/jscript/pkg-MoviePlayer-fffff6-s-689912js?v=689912..................... STILL NOT WORKING!

I had this same problem after installing ie9 rc. after removing the ie9 and reverting back to ie8 all problems have went away. no more script errors in netflix.

 

[SledgeDG]

Confirmed...here it doesn't work anymore either while it still works without a hitch in any Browser
I wonder if that is connected to the Silverlight update, Microsoft pushed out 2 days ago.
In that case Netflix would be right

Having the same issue. Started yesterday. I can browse movies on WMC, but when I try to play it has a error message telling me to check my Internet connection which I know is connected.

Any new news on a fix?

2/19/2011 NETFLIX still KAPUT on WMC (Windows 7 32/64 bit)

Evrything suggested on several forums was tried, from clearing cache to removal and reinstalation of Silverlight. Nothing improved still no streaming trough WMC. Nice basketball game between NETFLIX support (joke) and Microsoft support (both hired monkeys). Next would be to cancell Netflix suscription.

i just tried netflix just now with win 7 WMC it is working again
tried it last night i was getting the same error that everyone else was getting

 

[bellybob]

got it working netflix

don't know if this did the trick. i changed the update setting for windows and silverlight (no self installing) then i did a system restore before the newest updates (2/12/11 for me) then i checked for updates for windows; made sure the silverlight update was not checked and installed updates and netflix streams to WMC now. had to log in though. i hope this help anyone or check updates before doing this just in case microsoft might just slipped out a fix overnite.

I've just removed Internet Explorer9 RC and NETFLIX started streaming again on WMC.

Microsofts fix for this atm.
Netflix in Windows 7 Media Center may encounter an error when it initiating video playback after you install Internet Explorer 9 RC

Uninstall IE9 RC

I had been running IE 9 beta. Up graded to IE9 RC and problem started. Went back to IE 8 with all updates plays just find

My post at Microsoft answers and the Green button
Windows 7 64 bit an windows Media Center Playing Netflix Error code
trying to play Netflix in Media center goes to "An error has occurred in the script on this page" Line : 50 Char: 383 Error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment Code: 0 Url: http://www.netflix.com/layout/jscript/pkg-MooviePlayer-fffff00-692064.js?v=692064 getting message on two separate computers both up to date. going thru Chrome or IE9 no problem

Be sure to run regedit as administrator before doing the change.

I cannot for the life of me get Netflix to work in Media Center. It installs, I can access the video menus etc, as soon as I go to play one I get:
"Authorization Failure"
"Our appologies---We could not authenticate this request"
What up with that? I mean I've tried all the normal things uninstalling netflix from media center, deleting my browser cookies and forms and webpages etc... all to no avail... can anyone help me?

 

[Glhs958]

Have you tried to remove netflix from the silverlight application storage tab.
Start\All Programs\Microsoft Silverlight\Silverlight then Application Storage tab delete netflix.com
worth a shot.

 

[BigSacAttack]

Glhs958 suggestion worked for me. I do not have IE9 installed and haven't received any Silverlight updates since Feb's security update. This just started out of the blue.

Deleted the netflix entries in the Application Storage tab of Silverlight and relaunched Netflix. Worked perfect. Didn't even need to restart PC.

Thanks!
