The problem with this site is that the source is for US only. Some links don't exists in the Netherlands by example. But the site looks great.
Good find with this site, I wonder if there's another similar one that's international?
This appears to be similar to netflixroulette in that it's one of the very few third-party sites that was granted an api key when netflix shut down the public api.
There's no way they're going to give us access to the private api, we're open source so it wouldn't be private anymore! There's nothing stopping us from using a site like this as our defacto proxy-api though :-)
I can already see some interesting things on their page, such as: http://jsapi.netflix.com/us/api/js/api.js
UPDATE
Taking this one step further, I found a couple of mentions in various blogs of the list of sites that were granted api access when the public api was turned off, after checking them out one stood out dramatically
http://www.yidio.com/
This is an aggregator for a large list of online steaming services. You can see shows available on any/all of them, or filter by service.
If we can parse this site instead, well, stuff netflix site - this gives us a semi-universal streaming plugin. Seeing as I'm already handing playback over to a browser it doesn't matter that yidio hands us over to different websites for playback.
developer teaser: I've had good luck already, try this in your browser :-)

stay tuned.... my next plugin once I've released my sbs online one won't be a hulu addon, it'll be yidio
