Re: Behaviour not working in fullscreen (Google Chrome)

Hello Felix (and Penney),

Just a couple of comments. First off, thanks again Felix for your dedication and support for Remote Buddy. I sometimes have a little trouble figuring it out, but it always seems to work in the end.

I use Netflix to stream movies from my Mac to my HDTV. I tried using the instructions from JoseC's April 5 post (forumentry_id=16112) to create my behavior workflow. I created two behaviors, SafariNetflixWindowed & SafariNetflixFullscreen. The com.google.Safari bundle identifier worked fine for windowed actions, but not com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.

Next, I installed Google Chrome, which worked. Both bundle identifiers (com.google.Chrome & com.google.Chrome.helper.EH) worked fine.

I had a little trouble during test compiling. Sometimes when a behavior/activation did not work, I had to rebuild/re-compile it (had to make sure to physically drag the application to the different bundle identifier fields, not just enter the text). After rebuilding correctly, Remote Buddy does a great job of identifying Chrome & its Netflix helper app when Netflix is switched between windowed and fullscreen modes (don't need to manually activate each behavior, Remote Buddy does that automatically).

Observation: I often multi-task on a second monitor, while watching streamed Netflix content, which changes the selected application away from Chrome/Netflix a lot. I have found it useful to check the box next to "Send event directly to this application" for actions in the ChromeNetflixWindowed behavior. However, I have noticed that actions in ChromeNetflixFullscreen do not seem to work unless I keep this box unchecked.

My advice to anyone reading this post who's trying to get their behaviors to work properly is to be patient. Once you figure out how to use the Behavior Construction Kit, it becomes a lot easier. Don't get frustrated, just try rebuilding your behavior, carefully.

Thanks again for the great software!
