The main page will be the first page shown once MyQ is started. The
main page allows accessing all the features MyQ provides:
-
You can search the entire Netflix catalog in the main page - it will
load up the results in the search page.
-
You can view New Releases and Top Charts by categories
by using the two buttons below the search field.
-
A list of discs at home (or being sent home or those on their way
back to Netflix) is shown. Each title shows the format of the title
(in case you have Blu-ray enabled). Clicking on any title
will take you to the detailed view of the title. Below the list
is a button to report shipping problems to Netflix.
-
At the bottom of the page there are 4 icons - Home, Queues,
Recommendations and Search. Tapping them will switch to the corresponding
page.
The queues page allows you to view your
Disc and
Instant queues.
You can tap on items to view their details. You can also remove items from
your queue by swiping an item away as well as move items around
by tapping and dragging.
If you want a fast way to move up and down large lists, you can enable
buttons to move to the top/bottom of lists in the
Preferences page.
The recommendations page allows you to view your Netflix recommendations.
Currently the recommendations are not sortable in any way, but this will
change in a future release.
The search page allows you to search the entire Netflix catalog
for titles to add to your queue. Currently searching only searches the
title of the movie or TV series.
The title page contains details about the selected title. It will show
a larger box art with the star rating you gave it (if you haven't, the predicted rating)
below the box art. Among other details are the release year, the MPAA
rating, running and keywords. To leave the title page, simply
swipe backwards in the gesture area.
The page also shows the availability of the title using up to 3 large
boxes. They state if the title is available right now, at home, saveable for
a later release or in your queue already. A box will appear for the
Blu-ray version if available, the DVD version if available and the
Watch Instantly version if available.
The
Manage button opens a dialog allowing you to add/remove
the title from your Disc and Instant queues, as well as move the item
to the top of the queue. Changes occur instantly and you will see
progress indicators as the action occurs. The dialog can be closed by
using the close button.
You can rate the title by tapping on the star rating in the title page,
which will open a new dialog. You can tap any star in the dialog
to set a rating (1-5), clear an existing rating or set that you have
no interest in the title. If you have previously set that you are
not interested in the title, the
No Interest button will show
as being pressed down.
Unlike the Manage dialog, the rating dialog only applies changes
once you have tap the green
Save button. Tap the cancel button
to close the dialog.
