Netflix problem!
Sat, 2010-03-13 11:42
I have to say I love Zinc. I have spent a month researching which application to use for my new HTPC and so far Zinc seems to be the one with one exception. I require Netflix for the family more than any other streaming site. For some reason when I load up a Netflix movie I cannot back out of it. I can with any other site like CBS, FOX and others.
I really would like to find a fix for this. I need to be able to use my remote to control my HTPC so the kids and wife can use it.
Thanks for any help in advance.

sometimes when programs go full screen, the seem to create a second browser window.
Try the escape key to exit full screen first, or alt-tab to the original browser window.

This is a very annoying problem. Sites like ESPN360 and MLS MatchDay Live among others think it's a good idea to open the video player window in a seperate window instead of using the one you're on. Of course when this happens you keep hitting backspace not knowing that your on the second window. Luckily I found a fix:
Open Zinc and go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122 and install the addon "Tab Mix Plus". This addon forces everything to open in your existing window instead of creating a new one. I already have it configured. You can download my settings here http://www.mediafire.com/?dh3ymy3322z Then go to Tools> Tab Mix Plus Options> Settings> Import Settings> and browse to the Settings file you just downloaded.

Not really. I made an autoit script that loads Eventghost and espn3.com through firefox.
I mapped Pause, Fullscreen, and Play to the ZVRemote using Eventghost. For now those are the only options that are available on ESPN3.com
Wow no reply, I guess there is no solution to this program loosing focus.
