Netflix Remote Control With PC Remote-How To

[yankee495]

I've been looking for a way to control Netflix with my remote. I found something that works but it is more of a work around, but it works.

My remote looks like this:

While searching for an answer I found an example of a slide show program using silverlight and silverlight extensions 1.0.

It works...you can do a slide show.

Ok, so I open Chrome and went to Netflix and well, was disappointed. But, it does work.

RR & FF work but play/pause didn't...USE ENTER for play/pause. Volume works. The full screen button doesn't work but it is a good start...good for bathroom breaks.

You have to run the slideshow program prior to starting your movie...

After the movie is started you may close it, but it is easier to keep it open. Also make sure you bring the browser to the front to control it.

Tested with the above remote and Chrome.

If anyone finds a better way post it. All I can find is Iphone apps and stuff. Tired of looking.

Does that remote support Media Center? You can use that.
