Control Netflix With Arrow Keys
#1
Hey guys,

I've looked at a few threads regarding XBMC + Netflix (on Windows). It looks like you can get it going in a browser by using the WebBrowser and/or Advanced Launcher add ons.

One feature that would be great is keyboard navigation within Netflix - for browsing titles, starting them, etc. It sounds like the WebBrowser add on can give you mouse control which is getting there, but I'd really rather just be able to navigate like a regular "app". There is also the WMC Netflix app, but that one is pretty gross.

How are people controlling Netflix?

I have also run into this problem. I have a Harmony remote which I want to control Netflix with. Problem is arrow keys cannot navigate Netflix and the Kodi Netflix addon is, well, crap.

I've tried a Chrome addon which was supposed to allow arrow key navigation but it didn't work.

Anyone?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I had a similar experience. I just wanted keyboard navigation in the browser and couldn't find something that worked.

Anyway I made this https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...fommpaebco

It has basic navigation for the tiles, it's missing more advanced stuff, like expanding menus, episode selection, etc, but for the time being it saves me from having to use the fiddly mouse when using Netflix.

When I have time I may expand features to give a more complete experience. Hopefully, this is useful to someone for the time being.

Cheers
