It seems like you can use the Netflix API to authenticate user account, browse catalog, change queue, and launch a movie (external player for DRM reasons).

For actually playing the movie shouldn't it just be a matter of launching the external player and passing the info?

I don't think this would get into the same back and forth as say Boxee and Hulu as the person accessing Netflix already has a Netflix account and is thus a paying customer of content.

It probably would... I don't have a netflix account so I can't look into it myself.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search and search the forum before posting.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please read how to submit a proper bug report.

If you're interested in writing addons for xbmc, read docs and how-to for plugins and scripts ||| http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/
