The whole point of a home theater PC is being able to kick back and watch anything from your couch–but Netflix has never worked truly well on home theater PCs. This app changes that.
家庭影院PC的全部要点是可以放回沙发上观看任何东西，但是Netflix在家庭影院PC上从未真正发挥出色。 这个程序改变了这一点。
There have been countless attempts to get Netflix working on home theater PCs, but most fail. Some integrated with Kodi, but got shut down or didn’t work well. You could use the website or Windows Store app, but neither respects remotes or basic keyboard shortcuts, meaning your only option is to browse TV shows using the mouse like some sort of 19th century peasant.
已经有无数次尝试使Netflix在家庭影院PC上运行，但大多数都失败了。 有些与Kodi集成在一起，但是被关闭或运行不正常。 您可以使用网站或Windows Store应用程序，但不考虑遥控器或基本的键盘快捷方式，这意味着您唯一的选择是像19世纪的农民一样使用鼠标浏览电视节目。
Unless, that is, you set up Netflix Remote Controller. This free application launches the Netflix app for Windows 8 and 10, and makes it possible to control everything using your remote control or customized keyboard shortcuts.
除非是，否则，您将设置Netflix Remote Controller 。 这个免费的应用程序启动了适用于Windows 8和10的Netflix App，并可以使用您的遥控器或自定义的键盘快捷键来控制所有内容。
Out of the box, this application works with MCE remotes, and users have also reported it working with Logitech Harmony remotes. Here’s how to set everything up, and explore Netflix from your couch without resorting to a mouse.
该应用程序开箱即用，可与MCE遥控器一起使用，并且用户还报告说它可与Logitech Harmony遥控器一起使用。 以下是设置所有内容的方法，以及在不使用鼠标的情况下从沙发上浏览Netflix的方法。
第一步：安装Netflix Windows App (Step One: Install the Netflix Windows App)
First, make sure you’ve installed the official Netflix app from the Windows Store. This is a dedicated application for browsing and watching Netflix, and most desktop users never install it, but it’s necessary for our remote setup.
首先，请确保您已经从Windows应用商店安装了官方的Netflix应用。 这是一个用于浏览和观看Netflix的专用应用程序，大多数台式机用户从不安装它，但这对于我们的远程设置是必需的。
Open the Windows Store, which you can find either on the taskbar, or by opening the start menu and typing “Store”. Search for “Netflix”.
打开Windows应用商店，您可以在任务栏上找到它，也可以打开开始菜单并键入“应用商店”。 搜索“ Netflix”。
Once you’ve opened the app in the store, go ahead and click the “Install” button, then wait for the application to install. Launch the application once it’s downloaded, then sign in using your Netflix account. Note that, when the app opens, your keyboard and remote are both useless for browsing. Close the app, because you’re going to change that.
在商店中打开应用程序后，继续并单击“安装”按钮，然后等待应用程序安装。 下载后启动应用程序，然后使用您的Netflix帐户登录。 请注意，当应用程序打开时，您的键盘和遥控器都无法用于浏览。 关闭应用程序，因为您将要进行更改。
第二步：下载Netflix遥控器 (Step Two: Download Netflix Remote Controller)
Next you’re going to download Netflix Remote Controller. Windows 10 users can click the “Download” button at the top of the site, while Windows 8 users need to scroll down to the bottom of the page and download the last compatible version.
接下来，您将下载Netflix Remote Controller 。 Windows 10用户可以单击站点顶部的“下载”按钮，而Windows 8用户需要向下滚动至页面底部并下载最新的兼容版本。
The app comes as a ZIP archive, so go ahead and drag the files to their own folder. You can store this folder wherever you want, but “C:\Program Files\Netflix Remote\” isn’t a bad option.
该应用程序以ZIP归档文件的形式提供，因此请继续将文件拖到自己的文件夹中。 您可以将该文件夹存储在任何位置，但是“ C：\ Program Files \ Netflix Remote \”并不是一个坏选择。
第三步：进行测试并根据需要进行配置 (Step Three: Take a Test Drive and Configure If Necessary)
Next, launch the NetflixRemoteController by double-clicking the EXE file. The Netflix Windows app will launch in full screen, but your cursor will be replaced with a giant red dot. Instead of using the mouse to browse videos, go ahead and use the arrow buttons on your remote, or even on your keyboard. The dot will move from poster to poster, showing you what you can open.
接下来，通过双击EXE文件启动NetflixRemoteController。 Netflix Windows应用程序将以全屏模式启动，但是您的光标将被一个巨大的红点代替。 而不是使用鼠标来浏览视频，请继续使用遥控器或键盘上的箭头按钮。 点将在海报之间移动，显示可以打开的内容。
Hit the “OK” button on your remote, or the “Enter” key on your keyboard, to open a show. You’ll see a list of episodes to choose from.
点击遥控器上的“确定”按钮或键盘上的“ Enter”键以打开一个节目。 您会看到一系列剧集供您选择。
Again, use your arrow buttons to browse the list, and “OK” to start watching. If you’d like to head back to the main screen, the “back” button on your remote or the “backspace” button on your keyboard should do the trick.
同样，使用箭头按钮浏览列表，然后使用“确定”开始观看。 如果您想回到主屏幕，则可以使用遥控器上的“后退”按钮或键盘上的“退格”按钮。
You can also control playback with your remote, for example pausing and playing with the spacebar or appropriate remote buttons. To learn all of the shortcuts offered, check out the official documentation.
您也可以使用遥控器控制播放，例如，使用空格键或适当的遥控器按钮暂停和播放。 要了解提供的所有快捷方式，请查阅官方文档。
In our testing the application can be a little buggy on non-standard displays, with the mouse jumping between posters haphazardly, but everything worked well on a 1080p TV.
在我们的测试中，该应用程序在非标准显示器上可能会出现一些问题，鼠标会随意在海报之间跳动，但在1080p电视上一切正常。
To close this setup, do not simply close Netflix: your taskbar will be gone, and your mouse will continue being a giant red dot. Instead, hit Ctrl-Alt-Q to close both Netflix and the Netflix Remote Controller. You can set a button shortcut for this combination later, if you prefer.
要关闭此设置，不要简单地关闭Netflix：您的任务栏将消失，鼠标将继续是巨大的红点。 相反，请按Ctrl-Alt-Q关闭Netflix和Netflix遥控器。 如果愿意，可以稍后为该组合设置按钮快捷方式。
调整您的方式以更好地浏览沙发 (Tweak Your Way to Better Couch Browsing)
Now that you’ve got the basics set up, you may notice a few quirks–every home theater PC setup is different, so you may have to tweak a few things to get it all working optimally. Here are a few recommendations.
现在，您已经设置了基本知识，您可能会注意到一些怪癖–每个家庭影院PC的设置都不相同，因此您可能需要进行一些调整才能使它们发挥最佳性能。 这里有一些建议。
为您的遥控器配置自定义快捷方式 (Configure Custom Shortcuts for Your Remote)
Netflix Remote Controller is designed to work out-of-the-box with MCE remotes, and users have reported that it also works with their Logitech Harmony setup. If you use a different remote entirely, however, or have customized your remote just so, you might want to change up Netflix Remote Controller’s shortcuts a little bit. Just open the configuration file, which is in the same folder as the application itself. You can use any text editor, including the Windows default Notepad.
Netflix遥控器旨在与MCE遥控器配合使用，开箱即用，并且用户报告说它也可以与Logitech Harmony设置一起使用。 但是，如果您完全使用其他遥控器，或者如此自定义了遥控器，则可能需要稍微更改Netflix遥控器的快捷方式。 只需打开配置文件，该文件与应用程序本身位于同一文件夹中。 您可以使用任何文本编辑器，包括Windows默认的记事本。
Check the full documentation to get an idea of the formatting and key names. Save the file when you’re done, and restart the app to see if your new shortcuts work properly.
查看完整的文档以了解格式和键名。 完成后保存文件，然后重新启动应用程序以查看新的快捷方式是否正常运行。
从您的遥控器(或家庭影院程序)启动Netflix (Launch Netflix from Your Remote (or Home Theater Program))
Now that you’ve got Netflix Remote Controller set up and working properly, you need a way to launch it from the couch. How you do this will ultimately depend a lot on how you’ve set up your media center, but we’ve got a few suggestions.
现在，您已经设置了Netflix遥控器并且可以正常工作，您需要一种从沙发上启动它的方法。 最终的方式将很大程度上取决于您如何设置媒体中心，但是我们有一些建议。
You could create a keyboard shortcut to launch the applications, and then map that keyboard shortcut to a button on your remote. How to do this will depend on your specific remote, but we’ve gone over methods for MCE remotes and the Logitech harmony before.
您可以创建一个键盘快捷方式来启动应用程序，然后将该键盘快捷方式映射到遥控器上的一个按钮。 如何执行此操作将取决于您的特定遥控器，但是我们之前已经讨论了MCE遥控器和Logitech和谐的方法。
You could customize the Windows 10 start menu to add a shortcut there. If you’ve mapped up a “Start” button on your remote, you can easily access the shortcut from the menu.
您可以自定义Windows 10开始菜单以在其中添加快捷方式。 如果已在遥控器上映射了“开始”按钮，则可以从菜单轻松访问快捷方式。
On Windows 8, you could use Oblytile to create a launcher for Netflix Remote Controller and similarly launch it with your remote.
在Windows 8上，您可以使用Oblytile为Netflix Remote Controller创建启动器，并类似地使用遥控器启动它。
Kodi users could download Advanced Launcher, and configure it to launch Netflix Remote Launcher. You could even add a shortcut to your Kodi home screen.
Kodi用户可以下载Advanced Launcher并将其配置为启动Netflix Remote Launcher。 您甚至可以在Kodi主屏幕上添加快捷方式。
Which method you prefer is going to depend on your specific home theater PC setup, so try out a few ideas and see what works for you.
您首选哪种方法将取决于您特定的家庭影院PC设置，因此请尝试一些想法，然后看看哪种方法对您有效。
增加Windows DPI设置以获取更大的海报 (Increase Windows DPI Setting for Bigger Posters)
The Netflix app isn’t intended for couch use, which can make the posters hard to see. To change this, right-click on your desktop wallpaper, then click “Display Settings”. You’ll find the option to “Change the size of text, apps and other items.” Crank it u
Netflix应用程序不适合在沙发上使用，这会使海报难以看清。 要更改此设置，请右键单击桌面墙纸，然后单击“显示设置”。 您将找到“更改文本，应用程序和其他项目的大小”的选项。 摇你
This is going to make every interface element in Windows 10 applications much, much bigger. This can be useful on a media center, but it will affect all of your applications in some way. Keep in mind that you may not love how it looks, but try it out if you want bigger posters. There’s sadly no way to do this inside the Netflix app itself: the universal DPI toggle is your only option.
这将使Windows 10应用程序中的每个界面元素都大得多。 这在媒体中心上可能很有用，但是会以某种方式影响所有应用程序。 请记住，您可能不喜欢它的外观，但是如果您想要更大的海报，请尝试一下。 遗憾的是，在Netflix应用程序本身中无法实现此目的：通用DPI切换是您唯一的选择。
And that’s about it! You can now use Netflix from your couch. In my experience, things work a little better with the no-longer-updated Windows 8 application than the Windows 10 one, but both are manageable if not perfect.
就是这样！ 现在，您可以在沙发上使用Netflix。 以我的经验，不再更新的Windows 8应用程序比Windows 10应用程序的工作要好一些，但是即使不是完美的，两者也是可以管理的。
It’s kind of crazy that an external application like this is needed just to add remote control and keyboard shortcut support to Netflix, an application that should be a natural fit for any HTPC. Someday maybe Netflix will catch on to this, and bake support into their app, but for now I’m enjoying the ability to browse Netflix from my couch.
只需要向Netflix添加远程控制和键盘快捷键支持，就需要这样的外部应用程序，这真是太疯狂了。 也许有一天，Netflix会赶上这一步，并为他们的应用程序提供支持，但是现在，我享受从沙发上浏览Netflix的功能。
