Guys, I managed to get my XBMCFlicks working very nicely with no ALT-F4 scripting or eventghost. Only problem is there is no way to get Netflix fullscreen option "F" working due to a video webpart focus issue.
1. Harmony...add a device called Microsoft MCE SE Keyboard (special edition keyboard...it adds the CTRL-F4, ALT-F4, etc combos). Include this device in your activity. Customize a softbutton to send the ALT-F4 command (I called mine "Close Netflix")
2. Edit your playercorefactory.xml to point to Chrome.exe (wherever it is). Change the args section so that -k becomes -kiosk
3. Launch your XBMCflicks, and pick a video. A fullscreen Chrome will launch and play the video. Space/Enter will pause the video. Press your softkey on the Harmony to "exit" by sending the ALT-F4 you configured in step 1.
As I said, this will launch Chome in kiosk/fullscreen mode...but due to the focus of the mouse, you can't press "F" to make the Netflix video go fullscreen. I have a DiNovo Mini keyboard that I use to click the "fullscreen" button.
My only outstanding issues are this focus problem, and the fact that XBMCflicks shows movies under genre that are not available in Canada, so I see lots of stuff, but can't play most of it. I've set my "Are you In Canada" option to Y, still makes no difference. It seems that it's getting a full RSS feed, not a Canadian one.
Cheers!
EDIT - Just saw this..uses AutoHotkey: http://www.geektonic.com/2009/02/control...-your.html nicely for the Harmony and Netflix Silverlight.
