NetFlix AutoPlay

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:21 am

Has anyone tried using autoFlix with NetFlix? It's supposed to hit the Play Next button for you, but I can't seem to get it to work. I ran it, went to settings, custom image, selected around the Play Next button that pops up on the red screen at the end of an episode, hit save.

Does anyone else use this? I'm wondering if it's a browser issue (I'm using FF4 myself).

Why doesn't NetFlix have this as an option anyways?

why not just hit the play next button? or are you trying to plug it into your tv and use it that way? it should come with a remote..

Not using it on my TV. I'd rather not have to get up every 25-45 minutes while I'm just trying to chill out and watch stuff before I sleep or just whenever.

Wireless mouse? Or you can buy various remotes for your PC. Although I'm not sure if Silverlight would accept the hotkeys that the remote uses, you'd have to research that.

First- I have a mac. I haven't found any for them yet.

Second- I don't want to research it. I just want it made! :smile:

They really should already have this feature in Netflix. Hulu has it, which just makes Netflix look bad.

You know, I didn't think of a wireless mouse. I might give that a try.

I'm really surprised they don't, considering how many netflix users there are. Though, perhaps it's because most people use it through their console systems or other streaming devices that have their own remotes/controllers for easier use.
