A little update.
If i remove the subscription DNS that I use to access US Netflix from the UK, and use a UK ISP provided one then it works perfectly okay. Very nicely in fact. Put the DNS back though and it doesn't access Netflix again. XBMCFlix didn't have that problem, nor does the HULU plugin, they populated perfectly well regardless. A puzzle for sure. Seems that this cannot be used with a "paid for, subscription service" DNS, or certainly not the one that I use anyway.
That said, I briefly used the plugin with Netflix/UK and everything worked as it should. As a work in progress this has all the hallmarks of turning out to be a good addition to the XBMC family of plugins.
