Agreed, I got excited there for a min.

Also, there is a complete lack of information about how this integration
works.  Getting Chrome to open and play netflix isn't hard... its getting
the remote to work that became very difficult, considering that the netflix
web interface completely lacks decent keyboard support or even a simple
cursor to show what movie is selected.

Please provide a lot more information about what your custom code does...
it may be worth compiling for, but I'm not going to take that leap without
more details.
