Netflix namespace problem

[balloob]

You need to use the full string that is mentioned in the cast.status
object: 'urn:x-cast:mdx-netflix-com:service:target:2'. It looks like you
are using 'urn:x-cast:mdx-netflix-com'.

Great work on this package. I'm trying to get "pause" to work with Netflix
and understand I need to add my own namespace. Here's my object:

class MyController(BaseController):
def init(self):
super(MediaController, self).init("urn:x-cast:mdx-netflix-com")
def receive_message(self, message, data):
print("Wow, I received this message: {}".format(data))
return True
def do_pause(self):
self.send_message("PAUSE", inc_session_id=True)

Which I instantiate and register. But when I try to use it I get an error:

cast.status
CastStatus(is_active_input=True, is_stand_by=False, volume_level=1.0, volume_muted=False, app_id=u'REMOVED', display_name=u'Netflix', namespaces=[u'urn:x-cast:mdx-netflix-com:service:target:2'], session_id=u'REMOVEDFORTHISPOST', transport_id=u'web-2', status_text='')
netflix = MediaController()
cast.register_handler(netflix)
netflix.do_pause()

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#84>", line 1, in
netflix.do_pause()
File "<pyshell#52>", line 8, in do_pause
self.send_message("PAUSE", inc_session_id=True)

"application.").format(self.namespace))
UnsupportedNamespace: Namespace urn:x-cast:mdx-netflix-com is not supported by runningapplication.

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Thanks that fixed it. I went on to try sniffing the packets using your Exploring Namespaces instructions.

Looks like the play and pause packets are encrypted? I see "Ping" and "Pong" messages in plain text, but everything else includes a "ciphertext" value and no obvious "play" or "pause". Guess I'll keep at it!

@szczys Any luck? Were you able to launch a specific video on netflix? Thanks for any pointers.

@szczys any progress? I am stuck at the exact same point. Thanks in advance!

I abandoned this project shortly after posting here. Sorry.
