Couple of questions on ECP

1. ECP /keypress/Search does nothing in Netflix?
The ECP guide says "There are even some keys you can send that are not available on our actual physical remotes. ... Search is useful for short-cutting directly to search screens, and is already recognized and handled by the Netflix app." I tried that and i am unable to make /keypress/Search do anything in Netflix (main screen or search screen; POST). Is that outdated info in the guide or am i confused? Is there any channel in which Search does anything?

2. There should be working "/query/icons" service since FW 2.8, the guide says. I am on 2.9 (1509) and cannot make it work. I am trying GET and always getting '400 Bad Request'. "‘query/icons’ takes an app id as an argument" is unclear, so i tried so far in form of

  • /query/icons/12 (as in /launch)

  • /query/icons?id=12

  • /query/icons?app_id=12

  • /query/icons?appid=12

but no luck so far. Anyone having more luck?
