Anyone know of one? Is it even possible?

I'm considering switching from Blockbuster back to NetFlix for their streaming. However, I don't want to watch movies on my laptop/desktop, I'd much prefer watching them on my 42" TV.

That would be an awesome feature. I'm a netflix subscriber but I don't use the download service because it's not convenient but if I could play netflix movies inside XBMC I'd be in heaven.

Can you enlighten us some more, why would they suspect downloading? We just want to stream the movies just as if we were on the website.

I don't remember where I was reading it, but how I understood it was if they detected you trying to circumvent their DRM in anyway. That's why you have to download so many plugins and it only works in wmp.

This would be the holy grail for me. Netflix does not seem to be bothered about downloading lots of people are doing it without getting banned. In fact I've only ever heard of one person getting banned.

For $30 USD you can buy a license for PlayOn media player, which is currently the only uPnP media server software that is working on Hulu.com and netflix support. It's still in beta, but hulu support is being added in each release and it can already play some of the content on Hulu. You can add it to the video section in XBMC and watch stuffs.

Beta releases are free btw.

PlayOn enables consumers who own a PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, or HP MediaSmart TV to watch Internet video from sites including Hulu, CBS, YouTube, ESPN and more on their television. We have just released PlayOn Beta. Netflix support is just down the road, and the fully featured release will be coming shortly!

We will also be adding support for Nintendo Wii by the end of 2008. Stay tuned!





Sorry dude but no mention of Xbox 1 sad.gif

Well, this page says that PlayOn just makes your PC a DLNA server for Hulu, YouTube and soon Netflix. And this page says that XBMC supports DLNA quite well. I'm sure you can connect those dots yourself...

I've CONFIRMED NetFlix through PlayOn. It works. As long as you can watch them on your PC, PlayOn will allow you to stream into XBMC Xbox uPnP Share.

If you can stream to a Windows Vista/XP Media Center PC, couldn't you stream that to your xbox. Kinda like a "Media Center Extender"?

That uses uPnP too, doesn't seem like it would be prohibitively difficult to code, then again I'm not a coder.

Also, there'd be no way to tell what was happening. As in netflix would just see the PC watching the movies, not the xbox streaming from the PC.

Just wondering if that was plausible.
