I just installed this addon and been trying to get it to work on windows. I was able to map my remotes buttons but the problem I'm having now is I don't get any audio. I believe this is due to the windows exclusive audio mode that is part of the Kodi setup process per the windows wiki. How does everyone get around this? What is your configuration?

also how do you make it so that when I press the button that closes the browser window it bring Kodi back to the foreground and in focus?

I hadn't heard of exclusive audio mode on windows. Just had a look at the wiki, quite interesting.
I think it must work when you ensure kodi does not hold the audio device open too long, as plenty of others have had kodi with this plugin running on windows. I run on linux and sometimes mac, very rarely do I get a chance to test on windows.

In kodi settings, I think under system->audio there's a setting for how long kodi should hold the audio device open for when idle, set that very low or zero. Perhaps even try turning off skin sounds to test as well.

I'm not certain about bringing kodi back into focus, it just works for me on linux/mac. Are you using the chrome plugin for remote mapping, or the windows utility? There's a remote control setting in netflixbmc that creates an invisible window overlay for the purpose of forwarding remote key-presses, perhaps try turning that on/off to see if it affects the return focus.

OK I now know my problem now. I set kodi long ago to always keep the audio device alive. I'll try adjusting this option when I get home tonight and see if that solves my problem. Thanks for reminding me of that setting.

The best answer I can give about the Kodi focus to foreground is playing with the Kodi Setting for Display and most importantly how you use full screen. sometime you have to keep change back and forth on that one setting for it to remember. This has usually worked for me. Once the full screen is in sync you usually don't have to worry about it later. I am sorry I don't know the direct setting path. If you need me to I can look that up too. Just may take a couple hours before I get to my Kodi system.

Thanks I'll try that out.
