F.A.Q.
How do I setup the program, why isn't it working, how do I do X,Y, or Z?
Chances are 90% of everything you need is in the documentation provided with the download. Please read it thoroughly before asking any questions.
Will this allow me to use a remote control with Netflix?
This app allows you to use hotkeys (like CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N) to control Netflix GUI operations, like moving between episodes or toggling full screen, subtitles, etc. You will need to use a 3rd party application that can map your remote control to those hotkeys (e.g. EventGhost, LIRC).
Does this work on a Linux or OSX based XBMC install?
Yes...or at least it should...or at least most of it should. It has not yet been tested but the Sikuli language that the majority of the tool is developed in is java based and supported on Linux and OSX. If you are interested in getting it to work, download and try it...I'm willing to help troubleshoot errors to get it functional. Remember this is a helper to XBMCFlicks...which requires Silverlight(Moonlight) to function properly. If you can't even get XBMCFlicks to work, you shouldn't bother with this. The included docs have instructions for Linux, but OSX users should be able to figure it out based on those as well.
More to come (based on your questions)...
