I love the GUI on the ATV2 vs the standard streaming GUI you see on the Blu ray players and other places. Its more user friendly and you see more at one time and its faster to jump between movies in your queue. With my blu ray you can hold down the button and jump fast but i can with the ATV2

Don't think so. OSX != iOS.

As I recall, when under the Netflix the last menu option was Login or Settings or something like that. When I originally set it up, it was real obvious as I did not have to dig out any manuals or anything to do it. Hope this helps.

Any luck getting the netflix app to work in XBMC?

Getting the Netflix plug-in to launch the included ATV2 Netflix client will take a lot more than simply configuring the plug-in. I know it's possible on iPhone/iPod/iPad to launch it using a special URL, but I don't believe something like that would work with the ATV2, and even if it did the URL syntax could be different.
At the very least, two things need to happen (probably more):
1. Figure out how to launch the Netflix frapp from XBMC
2. Change the plug-in itself to pass along a URL or something with the proper syntax

Aside from nitpicking the meaning of "launch", I pretty much just said all of this.
I'm not sure I understand why this thread was moved to "off topic" since the discussion is now about getting the XBMC Netflix plug-in to work on the ATV2. If the iOS forum is not the place for this, then perhaps we should start a new thread in the add-ons forum? I don't mean to be a pain about this, but this is about the 3rd time an on-topic thread got whisked away here, so maybe my definition of "on-topic" isn't correct?

Actually someone else mentioned it first and then it kept getting bumped by other people who were actually trying to get the plug-in to work. Mixed in with some other people asking about out-of-US VPNs. Hence why I mentioned making a new thread. However, I didn't want to do so if there was some other reason it was considered inappropriate.
Sorry for any confusion :)
