Rewind and Fastforward work
The Enter key is the pause/play key (not the pause key on the remote, odd but it works)

And they work in full screen

This makes it a ton easier to control, and doesn't require any other apps running for a basic remote (like this one) to work.

fekker Wrote:here's how to figure out what you need in the iqueue.py file
cmd="open /Applications/Firefox.app '"+url+"'"

this is saying, run the command open /Applications/Firefox.app 'http://www.netflix.com/'

(there's alot more to the web site url, but that's not important to get it to work)

figure out how to open the browser from a command prompt/terminal session where it open's the page

cmd="open /Applications/Firefox.app '"+url+"'"
let's add some spaces so you can see what it's doing
cmd="open /Applications/Firefox.app '" + url + "'"
i.e.
open /Applications/Firefox.app 'http://www.netflix.com/'

so if you need to open a different app, like safari
and this works via the command line
open /Applications/Safari.app 'http://www.netflix.com/'
you would have
cmd="open /Applications/Safari.app '" + url + "'"

if it doesn't like the quotes it would be
cmd="open /Applications/Safari.app " + url

hopefully that makes sense, you need to figure out what command line will open your browser to a website, and then adjust the command

or

turn on debug mode and verbose user logging in the addon, and open the url and do it manually (check the xbmc.log, in debug and verbose mode it will list out what to do in the log file)

nmirza Wrote:hmmm..alot of thisis french to me. i did try to open terminal and typed the open command with some variations (with/without quotes, different kind of quotes, etc) in all cases, it opens up safari/firefox, bbut only to the start page, does not go to the netflix website. Shouldnt this command be standard to all osx users?

Can someone using this on a mac please give me the correct command?

risner Wrote:I'm still having trouble with XBMC Flicks not working on Mac OSX.

When you click on a video to play from Netflix, it pops up a Safari window over the XBMC interface, and the video plays in the Safari window (not full screen) and you can't get back to XBMC without using the mouse (not the apple remote) to click X on the Safari window.

I've been posting about this for a couple weeks, and only one other person has complained about this. I've also upgraded XBMC to try to evade this problem.

It didn't used to work this way, unless I'm confused. I thought it previously played the video full screen and when the video ended you automatically reverted to the XBMC interface.

Can anyone help me?

d1ddyp0p Wrote:It works, piece of cake. I just want to know what the args are I can use to

A. Start it in full screen mode?
B. Hide my mouse (assuming this might not be needed if it started in full screen mode)
C. Close out of the Netflix Window using my remote (which is the official one for android)


I assume I could use Gmote or something similar to use my mouse....however, I don't want a keyboard mouse hooked up to the htpc in my living room so if it IS possible to do this, any help appreciated.


EDIT: Nevermind..... pressing stop closes netflix just fine. Any idea on an arg I can use for full screen? +F? and if so, insert it where? in where the 'p' is?

Polonius19 Wrote:I go through the config process, specified the OS X option, verified the two files, advanced settings and player core, were where they were supposed to be and with the settings identified at the start of this post, but when I try to browse the instant queue, I get a window inside of XBMC asking me to "Click OK after you finished the link in your browser window", but no browser window ever opens. I have Safari installed on this system, no other browser. I can access and view Netflix inside of Safari. I've uninstalled and re-installed the addon a few times, but its the same thing every time.

What am I doing wrong? What can I do to find out where the process is failing. Is there anyway to config a file manually with my netflix account info?

Please help.

**PS, I found a thread referencing the iqueue.py file and how it may need to be modified, but I can't find the iqueue.py file. Where is it? Thanks...
