When NetfliXBMC launches Chrome and Webremote is active, infrared signals received by the computer from a physical remote are mapped to certain keyboard commands that control the browser-based Netflix.
You cannot control it with XBMCRemote because that is sent over your network and received directly by the XBMC application, pretty much skipping any interpretation by your OS. If there's an app that allows you to send keyboard commands to your computer you could rig that to do what Webremote does. Otherwise, buy a cheap Windows Media remote from Amazon. Should be less than $20.
