Chimera2345 Wrote:I'm just using EventGhost (no AHK at all), got a folder that becomes exclusive when iexplore.exe activates (had problems with the iewrap crashing when going into full screen). My only problem is that the only way to exit is to send ALT-F4, which works fine but if you happen to hit the button more than once it quits XBMC as well. Hopefully the issues with IEwrap and full screen can be fixed and I can use F10 to quit Netflix rather than ALT-F4.

Great plugin BTW!

I use ALT+F4 to exit it as well. What I have is a macro that does a few things 1) use Alt+F4 to close iexplorer 2) find the xbmc window 3) bring that window to the front. Granted XBMC will probably come back on its own but it helps to be sure.

As soon as iexplorer closes I have Eventghost disable the XBMCFlicks folder so that hitting the button again doesn't do anything in XBMC. this way I can also re-map that button to an XBMC function and make everything behave more predictable (family likes it when stuff works the same). I'd be happy to share my EventGhost file if anyone wants it.

Thanks Rob. Do you have to do Alt-F4 twice (once to get out of fullscreen mode)??

How do I get my Netflix to look like this?-

And, is there a simple how-to to add shortcuts from add-ons to the main startup screen?

Netflix in Firefox is playing behind xbmc - Crash - 2011-01-19 23:52

Hello,
I've installed the plugin and everything seems to be working. However, when I play a netflix movie the firefox screen and movie are playing behind the xbmc window. This is on Mac OSX. I can Cmd Tab to switch to firefox and there's my movie playing.

Any help would be appreciated.
Duane

I tried that. When I set that option to true, then when I play a netflix movie xbmc goes away for an instant and then comes right back again with the movie playing behind it.

Oh, and thanks for helping Smile

Forgot about that part - I do an 'Esc' keypress, then Alt-F4 to close out. When I get home from work I'll post my Eventghost setup in case there is anything useful you could pull from it.

I changed my eventghost config last night so now when I press the exit button on the remote it sends the command "taskkill /im iexplore.exe" rather than ALT-F4. This just kills IE dead, not clean but works perfectly and obviously won't exit out of XBMC. Definitely interested to see your EG config though.


netflix playing behind xbmc - Crash - 2011-01-21 18:14

Regarding the issue with netflix playing behind xbmc, I've tried setting both
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>

without luck. It does have the affect of making xbmc go away for an instant, but then it comes right back covering the netflix movie.

Is there a setting in xbmc itself somewhere that says to always stay on top?
