Has anyone else experienced an error with watching Netflix on Boxee where you go to play the movie, and Netflix returns with a "you are alread watching 1 movies blah blah blah" and gives an error code. Anyone experienced that?

It won't let me watch any other movies because it says I'm currently watching one, when I mean, let's be real here - There's no way I'm watching a movie on my computer, unless I'm watching a movie.

Ideas? Emailed Netflix as well to get their take - no response as of now.

I watched the beginning of a movie to see how Boxee handled it. I didn't finish the movie. Using the Apple remote, I hit STOP, then quit Boxee. When i went to stream a Netflix movie through Safari, Netflix told me that I was already streaming another movie and I had to quit it to stream another movie. I went back into boxee and trid to fast forward, etc... no avail.

I called Netflix tech to ask if there was a way to manually reset it. The guy said that whatever device I use to watch a movie has to "report a stop" to the Netflix server, otherwise it doesn't know that I have stopped (he knew what Boxee was). The guy said that the Netflix server will by default, reset that "stop" after two hours of the beginning activity.

ErrorCode: 8106 154 is what you get from Netflix

I experienced this also, but only because I had the same movie streaming already through Firefox 3 in the background.

I closed the browser and restarted Boxee and it then played fine.... Besides the stutter, I mean.

I'm having the same problem. Same errorcode: 8106 154. Netflix stopped and told me my internet connection slowed. It wouldn't reconfigure, so I quit Boxee and restarted my computer. Once I got internet back I tried to watch netflix both through Boxee and Firefox and it won't let me. Is there a way to force Boxee to send a stop request to netflix? If not, please add this to the feature requests.
