Which program language is the source code of this Understudy app written in? Huh
http://code.google.com/p/understudy/source/checkout

Could it maybe be ported to Python so that it could be made into a plugin or script for XBMC?

Looks like C to me but I'm not a programmer.

as soon as you or someone else breaks their drm, we'll run with it.

Any idea how Boxee is bypassing the DRM?

I also agree it would be really nice to see Netflix streaming within XBMC, so the plugin would be wonderful!

netflix for boxee only works on windows machines so i would surmise they are using ie to make it all happen?

silverlight on OSX.

I suppose the questions here are:

1. Is the Boxee implementation open source?
2. Can the Boxee implementation be ported to work with XBMC?

I don't have an Xbox, so I can't speak to the state / non-state of Sliverlight support on that platform--that may well be why Boxee can get away with this--they don't support XBox afaik.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the internals of either project so I can't really speak to either of those questions. But I'd like to think that as Boxee was originally a fork of XBMC, it can be made to work with XBMC.

Sorry to arrive later on this topic but Netflix Instant Watch (that's great) is based on Silverlight and protected from PlayReady that is included in Silverligth, as they reported in their press release.

My understanding is that will work on PC and Mac, on Linux there is http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight but I do not think they have the DRM in (well is an Open Source so it would be weird to have it there).
On the XBox I donno as I do not have it Sad sigh!

Anyway the question becomes: is it possible to host a internet explorer object in XBMC? if yes it should be possible to play the Instant Watch contents as well as all other online streaming services.
