RegistrySettings  
The Registry settings used by the vmcNetflix application.

Introduction

The vmcNetFlix application uses the Windows Registry to store its settings. Here is a description of where those settings are found, possible values and the default value.

Details

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Luttman\vmcNetFlix

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Luttman\vmcNetFlix

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MediaCenter\Settings\Extensibility

EnableAddInLaunchDebugging

Set this Registry setting for whichever Vista user account is being used for the device that needs to be debugged. For example, if you are troubleshooting vmcNetflix issues on the VMC PC, then set this setting for the primary user account you use to login for TV viewing. If you are troubleshooting vmcNetflix issues for an extender, set this setting for whichever of the "MCXx" user accounts is used for that extender device.

This will give you a Details button when vmcNetflix crashes that will display some call stack information. When you add this Registry entry, you will get prompted a couple times when launching the application - this is normal, and you should just click OK. If you can capture a print screen of the call stack (those cryptic-looking debug messages), that might help isolate where the problem is in case it can't be reproduced.

NOTE: Once vmcNetflix starts working again, you should remove this Registry value (or set its value to "0"), so that you don't continue to get these (now-redundant) prompts every time you launch a Media Center add-in application.

(Possible alternate Registry setting, if the above doesn't work)
