Thank you again for all your hard work on this so far. I really, really appreciate it.
(Also, FWIW, I use my setup with 1080P / 1920x1080. I imagine most other folks these days are as well. So only handling that resolution would certainly be enough for me.)
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, it is the higher resolutions (seems anything above like 1280x800) is where the problems start and will require the most amount of work.

Without auto-fullscreen we will have to find a way to hide the mouse pointer.
Here is some autoit code:

Also auto-play next video would be nice. We can leave it playing all day if desired. The volume control is a nice feature to have too.
Ah yes I forgot about the mouse...I did notice that and that it was necessary to go full screen to get rid of it. I don't like the idea of doing it with AutoIt - and without looking at the code too much I have a feeling that it would also be cumbersome and problematic in its own right (not just AutoIt but actually "hiding" the cursor).
As far as the auto-play is concerned, unfortunately (as per my last post) you can't leave it playing all day...only until the end of a season - at which point you would have to manually select the next season in the list. UPDATE: I was wrong about this...it will continue to advance to the next season when done with one!
I think that the only solution is to actually account for all scenarios of resolution, which is going to be a huge pain in the arse. Previously this app would work with all resolutions I tested, regardless of full screen/non/kiosk. If I continue down this road I think I will have to limit it to simply FULL SCREEN kiosk implementation which is what most XBMC users will use.
I may use the default Netflix method ("F") to bring it into full screen - and then I only need to account for one set of icons at each resolution (and hopefully only 2 sets - a high res and a low).
The new interface is actually easier in the sense that you don't need to take it OUT of full screen to access certain controls (like Next episode).
I will be taking a look over the weekend and hopefully I will have something usable over the next couple days.
