Can't say enough how excited I am to finally merge my Netflix and XBMC, many many thanks to all of the hard work that has been put in to get this working!
After the last few hours, I have managed to get just about everything working. The last issue I have, is the sound is coming from the wrong speakers on my system. I currently am running XBMCBuntu on a closed laptop, with the HDMI output running to my system. Under XBMC, sound has always been correct. But upon launching the Chromium browser and playing the Netflix stream, sound is coming from the laptop speakers instead of pushing over HDMI.
Any thoughts on how I can adjust the audio output?

Set a default audio device pointing to HDMI using a .asoundrc file.
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)

Thanks, I found the solution. I had to set my default audio device in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf. After reboot everything now goes to my HDMI audio as I wanted.
Is there any known issues with studdering during playback of Netflixbmc? All of my videos do it after about 30 seconds. I can rewind/ff and it plays smooth again, then 30 seconds or so later, it starts playing like crap again.

I finally got this working on my Win7 install by creating a symbolic link (mklink /j) to the Chrome folder location. I could then set the custom location in Chrome launcher to Chrome.exe

Probably and idiotic question, but none of my custom web sites will launch chrome in kiosk mode, even though I'm setting "yes" in the config.
Am I missing something/is there a workaround?
Sorry for the daftness.

With yelo tv you can watch live TV on every desktop computer, tablet ,...In windows through your browser (using microsoft light plugin)
I found this plugin here...
IS there a way to use this plugin for this? and change it to standard opening yelotv.be page?
And will it be able to play the stream?

Is there a way to stop XBMC from responding to the remote control in linux while chrome is running? I have added some remote control programming so I can navigate sites using a remote, but both chrome and xbmc (underneath) are responding to this. I arrive at really random places when chrome is closed?

That didn't work for me, as the Popen was forked, so the LIRC.start was immediately executed
I got it working with:
p = subprocess.call(fullUrl, shell=True)
p.communicate()
The p.communicate then waits for chrome to finish.
