Netflix Navigator Extension

This extension that uses the HTML5 Gamepad API to provide game controller (and keyboard) navigator and control for Netflix. Chrome 40+ is required. The primary use case is for integration with an HTPC (ie, Kodi with ChromeLauncher).

Currently supported features:

* Profile selection
* Movie navigation with customized movie info pane
* Playback control (pause, mute, seek/scrub, volume, next episode)

This has only been tested with XBox 360 controllers so far.
