INSTALLATION INFO - FOR THE 'DEFAULT' SIZE

  1. install Autohotkey
  2. in Windows 8.1's Search, search for "Change the Size of Apps on the screen" and make sure it is set to "Default" (although I'd recommend "Larger" option with this script instead: https://gist.github.com/holgate/7dcc49ef9d202a5a199e )
    If your display isn't set to 1920x1080 pixels you'll likely need to modify the coordinates.
  3. run this .ahk script
  4. start the Netflix metro app and press LEFT or RIGHT on the keyboard to test it out

NOTE: tested/working with MCE/Media Center Remote, and Zotac remote

REMAPPING INFO

Some keys will behave differently on your system. Namely, to:

Skip back / Rewind during playback
  • pressing Media_Prev (aka SkipPrev) on my remote is the same as pressing the Alt-Win-P key combo, thanks to a few settings in Promixis Girder which runs in the background. However, you can probably achieve the same result with Autohotkey/EventGhost
Skip back to beginning during playback
  • holding down Media_Prev (aka SkipPrev) for a couple of seconds
Access Episodes menu during playback (currently useless as navigating this menu has not yet been developed)
  • press Info button on remote = Alt-Win-I key combo
Access Navmenu on the top-level Netflix menu
  • press the Small Red button at the bottom of remote = Alt-Win-R key combo
Access Search on the top-level Netflix menu
  • press the Small Green button at the bottom of remote = Alt-Win-G key combo
Access Categories Grid Menu on the top-level Netflix menu
  • press the Small Yellow button at the bottom of remote = Alt-Win-Y key combo
