Hey fekker, I would love to try this out. Where can I download, all of the links appear to have maxed out the number of downloads?
fekker Wrote:With the TV Shows -
It could either be a list of TV Shows (when clicked they will pull the list of episodes for that show)
If it's a list of TV Shows - it basically just looks like a folder, then when opened up it'll show the episodes
OR
A Full List of the actual episodes All of those shows contain

fekker Wrote:Linux - No Playback Support, you could use it to add/remove/search for items, but playback will not work
- Linux Playback is not supported and will not be unless Microsoft makes Silverlight for Linux, or Netflix uses something else. There are no workarounds.

fekker Wrote:For most shows I could show the season numbers (from the title), but others said stuff like "the eleventh year", and not season 11. Mythbusters in particular also didn't have much season relation as they group the episodes into bundle like things, instead of seasons.

That being said, I still find XBMC Flicks fitting into the category of clever-but-not-very-useful-proof-of-concept addons. I haven't used the IE wrapper yet but I think it might be the key to seamless integration. I use the official XBMC app to control my laptop htpc setup. The current solutions for accommodating XBMC Flicks into my remote setup are frustratingly complex and under-documented. I think the solution to this problem is to find a way to intercept remote commands sent to XBMC and pass them on to the netflix player. Whatever remote you use to control XBMC, it just works with XBMC Flicks.
I apologize if I seem overly demanding. I merely hope that my feedback may provide useful to development.
fekker Wrote:Should i add the full Netflix Catalog?
I'm also considering adding the full catalog, but i'm not sure that's the way to go. It's a ~200meg compressed file download that's changed daily by netflix with all the details of every title they offer. It does offer a TON more options, would need a database to store it and a routine to update it's contents.
Basically it would be like browsing your library of files, only with netflix data, instant watch would be easy click / play (like it is now, still using external player), disc queue could get pretty cool as well.
It might just be too much though as feature creep always gets me.
Downfalls
200mb daily download, local db that would have constant updates
Cool stuff
Every feature of the library in xbmc, but with netflix as it's source, filtered for instant watch items it's close to having them all locally.
Fast searches
Fast display of content
Full meta-data for all items
Thoughts?
