update

Another update! These changes are relatively minor, and build on top of some of the changes from the last release. Now that the Manager is integrated into the Netflix page (instead of on top of it) these changes attempt to make the integration more transparent and seamless.

• Added the Update Queue button – now you can trigger an update from the Manager, instead of doing a Close and updating with the standard button. You still have to confirm the update though, and can see the regular Netflix page at that time.
• Added a bug mode switcher – if you Close or Update Queue->Cancel, the Manager disappears and the regular queue page is returned. A floating, semi-transparent “bug” will appear on the page to switch back to the Manager.

These features aren’t that exciting by themselves, but used in conjunction with Greasemonkey or Turnabout can make the Manager integration more natural:

• The Manager is invoked automatically when the Queue page is visited
• The Update can be done from the Manager
• When the page is reloaded after the Update the manager is re-invoked automatically
• If you Close to get out of the Manager, you can switch back without reloading the page

The on-screen instructions have also been tweaked to explain Close vs. Update Queue.

upgrading

The updates do not require re-installation. You may need to clear the cache to get the updated script and style sheet to load. The bookmarklet and Greasemonkey scripts did not change.

Here we are after reversing the queue, then clicking Update Queue. We can see that the numbers were updated correctly:

If we cancel the Update Queue or had clicked Close we get the regular Netflix queue, with the bug added:
