[QUOTE="brainbone, post: 376593, member: 24130"] At this point, Netflix Control does no window focusing. It relies on the application that launched the Netflix Silverlight Player to handle this. It does, however, send events to EventGhost when it "sees" a Netflix Silverlight Player window open or close. In this case, you could configure EventGhost to do whatever you need. Correct. It is only for controlling the Silverlight Player. It has no GUI. Netflix Control should be started before opening a Netflix Silverlight Player (I have it in my Startup folder). Netflix Control can be left running. Relaunching it will reset it. It should not be reset while it is middle of controlling a Silverlight Player. Netflix Control will wait until it sees a "Netflix: Netflix Movie Viewer" window. At this point it activates and waits for the "Full Screen" button. Once it sees it, it makes note of any episode buttons, and then clicks the full screen button. It will then take note on the location of relevant buttons for operating the Netflix Silverlight Player, and wait for instruction via SendMessage() (be it from EventGhost, or the supplied application for using a keyboard, or any other application that implements it). If told to stop, it will close the "Netflix: Netflix Movie Viewer" window. If at any time it notices the "Netflix: Netflix Movie Viewer" no longer exists, it resets itself from the top, again waiting for a "Netflix: Netflix Movie Viewer" window. Figuring out how to keep a hidden or transparent window active without forcing silverlight out of full screen would simplify implementation, allowing the HTPC application (Mediaportal, VMC, SageTV, what-have-you) to continue to process the remote events, but until then, EventGhost seems to be the best alternative.
