As I said over on /r/netflix, great app, and the implementation is hands down better than rabb.it's RTC method.
Did you start after Netflix switched to HTML5 video? I'm curious how you might've dealt with the old flash player- I basically gave up on any actual control of Netflix in my side project because it was too black-boxy.
- eremzeit 11y agoYeah, the HTML5 was key. It's way easier to listen to player events without really interacting with Netflix-specific stuff. I probably would have given up if I was doing it with silverlight. Actually, this is why this is only a chrome extension because Netflix uses silverlight in Firefox.
- rory096 11y agoWow right it was Silverlight... I think I raged so hard I blocked that out of my memory. Not that the flash on Hulu or Amazon are any better. I did have some luck with YouTube's old player and injecting their js->flash API, but still, HTML5 was a damn relief.
