Can it not just be scraped with a scraper?

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

My main interest is in just getting a scraper for Netflix. Is it particularly difficult vs the other scrapers? I seem to be able to easily find the info on Netflix after failing with the common scrappers. As for Silverlight on linux, someone has done it or something compatible for Tivo in order to stream Netflix (which works very well by the way). Assuming that Tivo is still based on linux in the Tivo HD DVR.

Again, you need to be specific in regards to the type of information you hope to retrieve from Netflix.

Thanks for answering. It's pretty simple really. All the information is contained on one page: Cover picture, name, date, runtime, rating, description, cast, director, and genre(s). I'm new to xbmc and am not sure what all metadata it can utilize. The cover picture is low res but better than nothing. Just about any subset of this information would be better than nothing. Here's an example of what a member sees:

http://www.netflix.com/Movie/My_Boy_Jack...kid=226871

A non-member gets slightly less information, but still very useful:

Thanks

Why don't you want to use themoviedb.org that is already builtin?
