Hi there folks,
I recently started using Netflix and installed the Netflix plugin to my XBMC (on a Macbook Pro from like 2010).
When I try to run Netflix however, it only opens up a Firefox window in the background to run the film.
Is it some way to get Netflix to play inside the XBMC so I don't have to get up and tab out every time?
Thanks a bunch.

It should be mentioned that with ALA, you can open netflix from XBMC fairly seamlessly. It will not run IN XBMC, but it will work pretty well. I do this with Skype and it works great.

Yes. Advanced Launcher. It really is an amazing add-on.
Was unaware it was only Eden, but really, it's the best way I know to use something like Netflix. It's not seamless, but it works well enough.
Honestly, I feel there is enough content out there via all the great add-ons available that Netflix is really unnecessary.

Hi,
I just saw this thread and was curious if I can use Advanced Launcher in Openelec 2.0 (xbmc 11.0) to create a seamless Netflix experience. If this can be done, does anyone have some instructions for how to do it?

Advanced Launcher is not working for me in Frodo. I get a addon.py error. Any suggestions?

What is needed is a way to automate (like a short-cut or favorite) the use of a supported browser like Chrome with netflix/loveflim/whatever, so that one could create an Icon (shortcut, favorite, whatever) which brought one to the service website in high-def (1080 p) mode, ready to rent a movie.
I don't understand why it is so difficult. All this crap is web based. You webby geeks ought to be able to figure this stuff out.
OK, so it's not real programming, but you guys insist upon calling yourselves programmers, so get 'er done, will you !
In case you didn't realise, the previous post was supposed to be a bit sarcastic, tongue in cheek, ribbing, in order to spur you on.

Advanced Launcher works with Frodo, but you have to get the newest version from the developers repo. I don't have it at work, but you can find it on the AL thread.
