No that's not possible, and this is because Viaplay is using Silverlight (which in turn has powerfull DRM protection through Microsofts PlayReady platform) for playback.
At this time playback has to be done through the web browser. This is also the reason why for instance Raspberry Pi with Raspbmc cannot be supported.

An integrated solution would have been very nice, but as I mentioned above, at this time XBMC cannot support playback of Silverlight based content and least of all content that's protected (encrypted) by PlayReady.
There's a reason why so many On demand services uses Silverlight... I hope this answers your question. Smile

Thanks for explaining it in such detail Smile I get it now. It's a shame really because it would have been flawless having all that content inside XBMC. It was my main reason for trying Viaplay. At this point I can not justify paying for the service if I have to jump between browser and XBMC all the time. Maybe further down the line...we'll see.
