Hello everyone,
I was a big fan of Openelec for my 2 NUC's. But I also became a fan of Netflix (mainly because of my kids), and those 2 don't go well together.. So after saying goodbye to windows completely for a few years I now have windows up and running on my NUC. Because my focus was on Netflix I stumbled on the Netflixbmc and Flix2kodi addons, and basically focused all my attention there. Somewhere in this process I came accross Launcher4kodi that I am using to start Kodi automatically when I switch my NUC on.. Now I am in the process of installing windows with Kodi and Netflix on my second NUC and I believe there is a better solution for everything I am trying to do..
In my bedroom I am starting Kodi with launcher4kodi (not as a shell) and I am using the flix2kodi addon for Netflix. It is ok, but e.g. does not support 5.1 (which I would like in my living room)
What I would ideally like:
- Start Kodi automatically
- Be able to switch to Netflix with my remote, either with a specific button for it(I can program any keypress on my harmony), or by exiting Kodi and selecting Netflix from (MCE remote selected on my harmony) Prefereably with 1080p and 5.1
- If possible: navigate in the Netflix app with my harmony remote. Or perhaps with my PS3 controller if a MCE remote will not work
Is this possible with launcher4kodi?
I have been busy for a few weeks on my NUC upstairs to get things the way I want them, so I am really just hoping to save some time here and not going through this trial and error stage again... I did search this thread for "netflix" and now believe that everything I want is already possible with launcher4kodi. I am a comple windows noob, since I said goodbye to windows after Vista. W10 seems much better, but the metrolauncher etc. does not mean much te me... I don't know if it is a windows option, if it is something I have to install etc.. I found this website though http://www.itsjustwhatever.com/downloads...launchers/ But still not sure if this is the actual Metrolauncher that is ofter referred to or if this is something I need to add netflix to this Metro start page.. I don't expect a full guide but would very much like some guidance in the right direction...
- Which parts of launcher4kodi will I need to get what i want?
- If I run Kodi as a shell (and allow explorer.exe like I read somewhere in this thread), what will happen when I press exit kodi? Will it go to this Metro page (shown on the 1st post of this thread?)
- How do I setup this Metro startup page?
From this other threads (netflixbmc and flix2kodi) I know I am not the only one going back to windows to setup netflix combined with Kodi, so I am sure a lot of people will be helped with a very short "noob guide"
Hope someone will be so kind to help me with this setup...
