Figured out the issue with chrome... it was my hola plugin. I forgot I had it installed. Disabled and tested, and video now works with chrome, but the same issue with the remote control is occuring.

I could probably have also fixed chrome by editing the
".../XBMC/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.netflixbmc/locale"
file, but hopping countries is far less important to me than getting this working with my remote! WAF and all that...
