Good luck with this. Unfortunately I have no experience developing, but you have my support anyways, lol. I am hoping so much that a Netflix plugin is successfully created.

Update....
We had a few issues testing last night, but happily I got out a few new versions to testers today. I want to send out a BIG thanks to Blitzkrg, his testing has helped move us along quickly...
We are still working though a few minor issues, but I released a new version to the testers tonight and hope to say on track with the first initial public release tomorrow.

Is this plugin still on track for getting released today?
I'm giddy at the thought that I might be able to finally stream Netflix from MediaPortal
Yes... Im working on some final tweaks now... It may be late, but it will be there
A few things to keep in mind...
1. Please make sure your framework is up to 3.5 (Thanks to keith 2045 for this!!!)
2. You will be able to launch the watch now into IE (so far only tried with Silverlight), but the main conrol of IE will have to be with a mouse or keyboard. (This is until we get some sort of Girder or Event Ghost set up)
Update....
I have put the download link as well as other important information on the first post... Happy NetFlixing!!!
SWEET!
OK, I got it running..
Here's some requests
1. Is it possible to have it start IE in full screen mode?
2. Could you make the enter key start the movie? It took me a minute to figure out I had to go to info to actually play the movie.
And some more bugs/feedback
1. I couldn't get it to run initially. Some testing finally showed that Silverlight does not work in 64 bit IE. When you try to play the movie, it it just sits. Changing the path to 32bit IE worked great.
2. The right arrow key consistently crashes MP on the instant queue movie selection when you first get to that screen.
3. You might want to tell users where to find it in the streamed MP editor in the instructions.
Otherwise, I'm stoked to see it working!

After thinking about it i dont think we need to use a third party utility to control playback. Since MP is still listening for user input you can have the pause (or whatever button) button move the mouse to a certain point and click, and you could have a calibration portion, so if the button moves then all the user would have to do is recalibrate it. I'm using this in my plugin, so if you have questions let me know. Just a thought
I'll try and keep this small (feature requests).
1) Move the mouse off screen when playing videos
2) A way to browse for watch instantly videos
3) This is probably an netflix api issue, but is it possible for TV series to browse the episodes?
Great plugin!
