Netflix database can't be downloaded

[ramfallen]

Hi Hector,

when I try to download netflix database I always get the "please select a country" window and it has blank fields instead of showing countries to choose from, so basically you cant choose any field, and when i try to click "ok" the whole program freezes. could you please help.

Thanks,

I've checked my code and I don't understand how this kind of bug could happen.

Are you sure you're installing the latest version 4.11.5?

Yes i have the latest version installed. It is strange since when this feature was released i was able to download the netflix database with no problems. But a couple of months ago I started having this problem and I assumed that it was just a bug that will get fixed soon, but apparently it is something with my pc. I tried to uninstall and install the program again but nothing changed. I even tried deleting the files in the documents folder which has the database (of course I have a backup) but still even with a clean installation the same problem happened again.

I'm very sorry for your troubles. The app isn't supposed to ask for a country on startup, I need to track down why this happens. Please run this modified version:

and tell me what messages it displays before the country selector.

Can you give me the results of the modified version so I can understand what's happening?

Sorry for taking too long. I actually tried running the modified version and first it showed "the Argentina message" and then showed me the country selection window and this time it has countries to choose from. So after selecting USA it finally worked. Should I start running the modified version from now on since it's working for me? and thank you Hector for solving this annoying problem

I've just released version 4.11.6. Please update to that version and tell me if it has problems or not. If it has problems, you can use the modified version until I find a way to fix this bug.

You are not supposed to select a country with each startup. With the modified version, what happens if you select the menu "Tools->Netflix catalog->Remove Netflix catalog" then close the program... are you asked to select a country on the next startup?

The latest version actually worked for me with no problems just like the modified version.
I tried to remove the netflix catalog and it did ask me to select a country the next time I opened it, but without removing the netflix catalog it won't ask that question.

Cool.

This is not normal. There's still a problem... You shouldn't be forced to select a Netflix catalog. Could you please tell me what messages you get from the modified version, is it the same as the last time?

it is like this one

I had come to thing that the program asked you for a country automatically on startup, and looking at my code it seemed completely impossible... But now I realize that maybe there was a misunderstanding.

Are you saying that you're asked for a country, but only when you ask the program to download a Netflix catalog? In that case everything's fine and there's no bug. Do you confirm?

[ramfallen]

Yes I think you did misunderstood me because it only show up after deleting the netflix database, I already wrote in my previous messages that without deleting the netflix database the country select window won't show up, anyway thanks and sorry if I didn't explain myself more

It does show up only if you select "Tools->Netflix catalog->Download Netflix catalog", doesn't it?

You can use the app without any catalog selected, can't you?

[ramfallen]

Yes & Yes.
