This is using the Netflix API with version 2.0 calls. It's registered with Netflix as xbmcflicks.

Instant Watch - Watch items Instantly
- includes: Your Queue, search, new items, queue add/remove

Disc Items
- Add items to your Disc queue, modify the queue, change the priority of an item (i.e. move it to the top of your list), search, get the Top 25's by Genre, and more

Before asking questions in this thread, please read the FAQ:
XBMC_Flicks_-_Netflix_for_XBMC


Limitations:
Windows and OSX - All Features will work
Linux - No Playback Support, you could use it to add/remove/search for items, but playback will not work
- Linux Playback is not supported and will not be unless Microsoft makes Silverlight for Linux, or Netflix uses something else (There's some chatter about HTML5). There are no workarounds at this time.

XBMC Version Support:
- Dharma XBMC 10.0
- Eden support is work in progress!

How does this work?
It's using Netflix API calls to work with your queue, add/remove etc.
It's displaying that data in XBMC
The actual playback, is using IE and Silverlight, DRM is intact.

Will this work for netflix.ca
- Most items work now, search seems abit odd (that's on Netflix side of the house)

Does this work on the apple tv
- It should as long as you have a browser working on the apple tv and can view your movies on the netflix site
-- we are still sorting out some of the commands needed in the playercorefactory.xml to launch the browser

Is this registered with Netflix?
- Yes, it's registered under the name xbmcflicks

Requirements:
If you need to create/modify the playercore file and advanced settings, use this as the reference of what is needed in those files.

The current version of the addon will create the file if you don't already have on in place.

playercorefactory.xml - Note change the path to IE if your running 64bit

Code:

<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="IE" type="ExternalPlayer">
     <filename>c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</filename>
     <args>-k "{1}"</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
    </player>
  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule name="html" filetypes="html" player="IE" />
  </rules>
</playercorefactory>

advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <videoextensions>
    <add>.html</add>
  </videoextensions>
</advancedsettings>

Where do i get it?
- Dharma:The addon is in the official XBMC repo, you can install it from within XBMC. The addon will attempt to create the required playercorefactory and advancedsettings files for it to work, if you already have these files, you will need to manually add the information to them.
- Eden [WIP]: https://github.com/spudsdude/XBMC-Flicks/zipball/master

OSX Users: Important note
Notes: if using OSX, pick it in the addon settings, that changes how it handles the initial browser open so that auth will work

What keys do what --
Key's that function when it's playing
space OR enter = pause/play
ctrl+alt+shift+left arrow OR just F = full screen
esc = exit full screen
ctrl+spacebar = put it's into frame mode to allow ffwd and rwd using arrow keys
shift + left arrow = rwd
shift + right arrow = ffwd
ctrl+alt+shift+m = menu
alt+f4 = shutdown web page (forcefully)

What remote do I use?
I use the cheap one from amazon, $8 us, works pretty good for the cost

Using it with Event Ghost --
Fade23 currently uses EventGhost and an AutoHotkey script (http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38969) to accomplish this.
You will want to choose the option to use alt player, it's under the addon settings, Misc tab.

Using it with the IE Wrapper.
For the Windows Users out there:

Here's a wrapper around IE, it has an X at the top right to allow the window to be closed, you can also just press F10 to exit it.

save it where ya like, and update the playercorefactory.xml to point to that file.
the <args> need to be updated as well.

I put mine into my plugin folder and use the following playercorefactory.xml

Code:

<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="IE" type="ExternalPlayer">
     <filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\portable_data\addons\plugin.video.xbmcflicks\resources\lib\iewrap.exe</filename>
     <args> "{1}"</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
    </player>
  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule name="html" filetypes="html" player="IE" />
  </rules>
</playercorefactory>

Enjoy!
