It only works on linux with chrome and xdotool installed. Also it needs a desktop environment. I don't want to create another fork, so I hope Zero integrates my fork.
Logi - I installed your version on Dec 16th (Kodi v15.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS) - Playback works great; these are my additional observations:
1) "My List" isn't showing the correct things, but you knew that already (I read your comments to z-e-r-o on your pull request)
2) Is loading the thumbnails from external sources why it takes so long to load each screen?
If I remember correctly, the original NetfliXBMC app would use the low-res versions from the Netflix website on first load and download the high-res images in the background (from external sources) and cache them locally.
You wouldn't see the high res version until the 2nd time you opened up a section (My List, Previously Viewed, new releases, etc.) but I think that's a fair compromise to improve speed.
3) What is the proper way to close and get back to Kodi when I'm done watching? I have a button on my remote mapped to Alt+F4 that I've used on the old NetfliXBMC app. When I do that with yours, the screen goes black and I hear the non-stop 'clicking' (as if I was cycling through the options on the main page). This keeps going until I press Alt+F4 again to close Kodi. - One time, the screen actually reappeared for a split second before closing... it was, in fact, cycling through options on Kodi's homescreen as if I was holding down the arrow keys.
4) Lastly, speaking of 'Previously Viewed,' one version of the NetfliXBMC app would consolidate/ignore TV episodes except for the the last one viewed.
Meaning: If you binge watched 9 episodes of OITNB season 3 and closed the app - Previously viewed would show
only OITNB S3E09 (or OITNB S3E10 if you waited until the episode started before closing).
The way later versions worked, and yours currently works, it lists
every episode you watched in decending order S3E10, S3E09, S3E08 ...
Keep up the good work!
