[QUOTE="futilemind, post: 361647, member: 85421"] Sorry, About the delayed response but classes started on Monday and its been a really crazy week. I just want to let you all know were the project stands at this point. Over the past few weeks i have worked on the plugin, and got quite a bit done in relations to the queues and getting support for series listing in preparation for future use in play now. [B]Now the bad news.[/B] I have sent a few emails to the Netflix folks and posted a message or two in the forums for the netflix dev site about the unusual use of api and play now support we are trying to achieve. So far i have not receive much of a reply but one email recently letting me know that the use of the plugin in a desktop app is not officially supported as the api was meant to be used in websites for the time being. I asked a friend who is a lawyer to review the Terms of service and she informs me that technically the TOS does not forbid our use, it would be a really grey area. She also informed me that Netflix could come after me for this project as it does not exactly confirm to the agreement. I am drafting an email to send to Netflix this weekend, but until i receive some kind of blessing from Netflix I will have to suspend development. I know many of you were really excited about this as I was, but its just to risky to release source code or a final plugin until this is cleared up. I really hope that we can continue with the project. Thanks -Fmind [/QUOTE]
