How do you exit Netflix and does XBMC return to fullscreen?
I will be trying this soon. XBMCflix just seems unpolished and Im used to using the netflix app from my WMC days.

I cleaned up, and updated the guide, hope this makes things easier and more understandable.
Have fun, and feel free to ask questions or improve things.

Ofcouse I use XBMC to watch movies, mainly 720p and 1080p "flicks" ;)
Netflix is a very nice service, i use it most to watch documentories and shows and if if you have not tried it you are imho missing out alot. Everything popular is just there instantly, littely at your finger tips (some HD) and with no commercials.
If you mean why I dont use the XBMC Netflix Video Plugin, I think its very well explained in the guide. Like dsimages write; and imho I think most find the WMC Netflix to be better. Also it seems many tried to integrate it seamless, but with limited luck. Also no remote control when watching in the browser.

This looks great, definitely going to check it out. I'm an ex-WMC user as well and the XBMCflicks plugin is awful by comparison.

I'm doing the same thing with Netflix and Hulu, using Autohotkey to switch apps. I'm still deciding on what course to take for exiting Netflix. I'd rather not use Alt+F4, since the same button could be hit again and exit XBMC. When I switch to using my universal remote, I may include a command in my XMBC remote macro (i.e. macro within the remote itself) that triggers autohotkey and closes Netflix and/or Hulu if they're active. For now, exiting Netflix via exiting WMC using menus is clumsy but not terrible

The concern isn't with me... it's the fact that we have a 2 year old and a 6 year old, and I want it simple enough for anybody to use. Having to explain that a special button exists for existing Netflix detracts from that simplicity.
