For $60 used you can get a Sony blue ray player that has NETFLIX or you can get a used ROKU with NETFLIX. So thinking that this is not worth the effort to me. Also you can use NETFLIX in your HTPC with browser or WMC.

- it was mentioned that netflix is revoking the public api's. if that is the case how does WMC auth with netflix and can't we "borrow" their api url's for our own version of flicks ?
- if the api walkthrough is available, the borrowed "plex" username/password is available, can't we use that into the original flicks plugin ?
- what kind of py coding experience would be needed to refurbish or create a version of xbmc flicks that plays within xbmc (similar to the WMC plugin) ?
NB: i have never coded in py before but i have some C# and C++ experience and would love to help anyway i can.
- i would really like XBMC to have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime work from within and play from within. as of right now i setup my htpc with wmc until i can figure out how to make xbmc have these features. (wife and mother-in-law don't like it when xbmc opens a browser :"the TV doesn't do that"... so i gotta have something working in the meantime).
PS: I am using 12.2 and have it hooked up to a Samsung SmartTV (yes i know it comes with netflix).
In conclusion,
Can we setup a [DEV] thread regarding this and maybe get some smart coding fingers and brains to figure this out ? Again i would help in whichever way possible even if it means learning py...
I am not giving up on XBMC, and i really do believe that a lot of people would appreciate a streamlined interface for the above mentioned streaming services.
Best regards,
