I re-entered my information with the same email as my Netflix login (although the form is a bit confusing since it suggests that Netflix logon and BB device email can be different when that actually isn't the case if you want the app downloadable from an email sent to the device). I have the app functioning now in any case. Pretty good app from what I have seen so far. Although from a usability standpoint, it's a bit quirky to have this ribbon at the bottom of the screen when there doesn't appear to be any obvious way to get to those "icons". I always find my self "escaping" back to the main menu and choosing the icon from there. See http://screencast.com/t/f2ci5HvlI for a visual reference to the "ribbon" I'm referring to.

I've tried Concumer BIS, Consumer TCP and all three of the credential types (Proprietary, None and Integrated) in the options but no difference in behavior. I checked, rechecked and double checked that I'm typing in the right credentials. And of course, the same credentials that I use to login to Netflix's website are the same credentials pair I'm attempting in the app. Website works, pyxis app doesn't. I certainly hope that this application is not passing in my device's email address (the address used to sign up for the app in the first place) during the authentication process as that wouldn't be correct. Perhaps that's not what it's doing but have not a clue as to why it thinks my credentials are incorrect. I keep getting told that my login credentials are incorrect.

As a reminder, this is a brand new beta release, so some issues are being uncovered here for the first time. The big one appears to be the "config error" which is happening to 5 or so people. There is a possible fix for that in the FAQ at http://lab.pyxismobile.com. DBLTap: I checked your auth issue, and it appears that Netflix does not have a record of the email address you used to log in. I'll contact you directly. Curtis: We are adding synopsis information. The API is new, so we'll add along the way. And finally, again to Curtis and all... the beautiful thing about our applications is that you will not need to install any upgrades or patches as we fix and enhance the app. SmartFlicks builds on the device at runtime, so as we make changes, you get them by simply logging in. So, there is no need to "uninstall until its fixed." You'll be uninstalling and reinstalling the exact same code-base. We're working hard to make this app strong, big and valuable to all of you. This kind of feedback is helpful. Please visit the Lab (http://lab.pyxismobile.com) to keep the dialog going. Thanks, everyone, for your feedback.

I also got an error message when I go to whats hot. I do not think a lot of testing was done with this at all. Like the menu option is "Drill down" what kind of GUI is that? Drill down is a technical term that you probably would use when developing it, not something you would leave on an End User application. Needs a lot of work. Getting uninstalled until it works better... how about a beta feedback option? I dont remember the website they want you to go to for it.
