  1. Hi!

    I've created an Alfred Remote workflow for Netflix.

    With the workflow and its remote page, you can control the Netflix browser view (tested with Safari & Chrome).

     

    The workflow supports the following commands:

    • Press play/pause
    • Set the volume to 100%, 80%, 60%
    • Increase/decrease the volume
    • Fast forward/rewind
    • Mute/unmute the volume
    • Skip forward
    • Press "continue playing"
    • Go back to browsing (Stop Netflix)
    • Play next
    • Enter fullscreen mode

    This workflow should work if you watch Netflix in full screen mode in your browser. I've tested it with different (retina and non-retina) 16:10 and 16:9 resolutions.

    If you have any trouble, please let me know!

     

    cheers,

  2. I think the "mood lighting" (I forget exactly what I called it) setting was my favorite to code. It's the one that makes your computer into a sort of "candle" with the screen brightness flickering. In a dark room, it actually does look a bit like candlelight, but the feature is totally impractical and was there just to satisfy my own whims. I know that it doesn't do what you want, but if you're a flux user, then it is probably helpful.

     

    The problem with the applescript is that it opens up Alfred Preferences, which might be necessary, but it sucks from a UX standpoint. If Rodger can get his method working, then it'll be a much better way so that people won't need to see the Alfred Preferences window pop up.

     

    I tried the mood lighting mode yesterday and I must say I really like it and my girl friend too, btw :)

    I know that the applescript is ugly and I hope that Andrew provides a better way to change the theme (feature request has been created). For me it was my first apple script, so I don't mind if it's a throw-away. I just wanted to try it out.

  3. @bcc2k, have you checked into my rewrite of the flux workflow?

     

     

    Yeah, it's awesome, but I'm talking about the feature where flux automatically starts Yosemite's dark mode after sun set. The problem is that Alfred doesn't change its theme accordingly. I couldn't find something like this in your workflow either, so I created an apple script that switches the Alfred theme. Unfortunately it's not as transparent as a direct API call, but for me at least, it's sufficient.

     

    This script activates themes with the names "OS X Yosemite Auto" and "OS X Yosemite Dark Auto" depending on the dark mode state.

    I tested this Apple Script with the DarkMode workflow and it worked for me.

    Next step is to call this script whenever flux starts DarkMode.

     

    Edit:

    Wait a second, with "rewrite" do you mean this workflow, right?

  4. When you use f.lux (really awesome app btw.) it provides a feature to automatically turn Yosemite's dark mode on after the sun has set. 

    It would be really cool if there was a worfklow for Alfred that could change its theme accordingly. 

     

    Without this, it is really tempting to use spotlight which of course automatically adjusts to the dark mode setting.

     

    Edit:

    Thread renamed for more precise feature request.

  5. Hi!

    With Alfred 2.1.1 the Tags, that were introduced in Mavericks, are now searchable. With this you are able to search for Tags and get all files that have the Tags set on them.

    The problem is that you always get all files as a result.

    It would be really nice if you could "append" the search Tags to your "normal" search in order to filter your search more precisely.

    E.g: "'foo" searches for all files that are named "foo".

    It would be great if you could have such a query: "'foo tags:privat" to find all files that are named "foo" and have are tagged as "privat".

    I think this would make the tagging feature much more useful, especially if you have many files tagged and not just only a few that can be listed in the Alfred results.

     

    Also the Tags feature should preview all available tags.

     

    Best regards,

    Andreas
