I am having the same issues with the Chrome Launcher not closing after I have opened, but more importantly t does not log me into my netflix account to watch a video. I have XBMCbuntu 12.3 installed. I have tried all of the suggestions listed above. What should I try now?

Hi,
First off, thanks to all of those who have been working on this plugin, it's working fantastic for me and is a real game changer for my media centre!
My only problem, having set most of this up today, is that I can't get the pipelight window to close from my XBMC remote. I am running a standalone version of Ubuntu, with XBMC installed separately, not a one click install of XBMCbuntu. The advice says the window can be closed by sending an escape key or by mapping an external tool to send Alt+F4 to the box. I've tried a variation of both of these, using the official XBMC app as well as Constellation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
Grep

When I export tv series to my library, XBMC is having trouble scraping the files. The tv series that span more than one season are named as such: Example Name (2001-2010). Anyone know how to get <cleanstrings> to remove the date range? (XBMC is having no problems with tv series that only have one year (2001) because recognizing that is built into the scraper.)

I have linux os with xbmc 12.3 on top. I get Netfixbmc to work and it plays the video correctly but when I want to exit the video I have to hit Esc first before alt+ F4 works. Know why?

Great addon, it works mostly OK.
There are a few things I would ask to correct, if that is possible,
1. I am writing this post from the same HTPC where I just used XBMC + NetfliXBMC. And the keyboard keys assigned to window control are still hijacked, specially SPACE, which inserts SPACE+NEWLINE each time it is pressed.
At this point I went to my other computer and drafted a mail, which I am cuting & pasting, because it was impossible to keep typing with the HTPC keyboard.
I would say that this is a bug, and I think I saw someone mentioned it before in the thread, but as of v1.2.5 it is still there.
I exited Netflix(Chrome) by ALT+F4, so I don't know if this info is relevant to the fix or not. Anyway, until a final fix is found I would suggest to have some function in the Add-on configuration to restore the keyboard keys to its original state.
2. The behavior in the "Viewing Activity" list is different from Netflix's. In Netflix when you press a viewed TV show episode you are taken to the TV show page, where you can choose another episode to watch, in NetfliXBMC it just starts replaying the same episode.
The rest are not bugs, more like requests:
3. Would it be possible to add "Resume Viewing" to the context menu, when a TV show episode has been partially viewed?
4. Would it be possible to mark a TV show season as "watched", when all episodes are watched?
I think all in all it is a great great add on and I am grateful you wrote it, thanks.

This add on is great!
Would it be possible to get a recently watch shows (and movies I guess) instead of just recently watched episodes? I find it difficult to start playing the next unwatched episodes for shows I'm watching. "My List" doesn't work right for me because I have a Canadian account, but doing a U.S. proxy thing.
Also I tried adding House of Cards (the new one) to my library, but it keeps adding the older British version. Is there a way to force it to use the new U.S. series? Same thing with The Killing. It picks up the Danish version instead of U.S.

I find that if I add a show to the library, then remove it, any subsequent library update it puts it back. Even if I do "clean library" between. I can't seem to be able to get it out of the library permanently. Anyone else seeing this? Any way to fix it?
Thanks!

Ok last one.
I'm using a U.S. DNS service, but with the plug in I'm only able to play shows that are available in my country. I can find them in search, but they just don't play.
Straight up in a browser I can play anything.
Is this known? Any way around it?
Edit: Nevermind, I looked back through the thread and found the answer. I updated the local file and it seems fine now.
