Netflix App for WMC8?

PM'd you

The first screen that shows up after launching Netflix is full of "tiles" of recently played, suggestions, etc. To the right you can see more items and with a mouse I can scroll over, but with this I can only scroll around the first page.

Yes, I am running 1920x1080p. Are you all up to date with updates?

Yes all's up to date at my end.
Lot's of people don't seem to have the Larger option available, so I've updated the script to work with 'Default' mode:

Code: Select all

and for those with 'Larger' option should use this version of the script instead:

Thanks for the update, I will give it a try today.

Just curious, how are you launching Netflix? From Media Center or from the Start screen. Do you leave the script running all the time? Just wondering how this could be integrated with Media Center.

Not working on my end either with the same issues as 3rob3. Tried it on my laptop as well, but had no success.

Yeah I tried again too, unfortunately same issues. Can scroll around the main screen but eventually it gets lost.

Media Center starts a batch file which starts Netflix, this script, and also my T9 (predictive text) script for text entry into Netflix's search box. I don't see a problem keeping this Netflix script running all the time - it should only do its thing when Netflix is running.

My system is actually a little more complicated than that though - I have Promixis's Girder running in the background for other automation tasks, as well as ensuring Netflix/Media Center is focussed/full screen at the right times.

Anyone get the autohotkey script working on default size screens?

If you're still interested in getting it working on other resolutions, try this: http://sticky-ux.com/apps/NetflixRemoteController/
