Does anyone know if it will ever be possible to launch Netflix from within XBMC? If it is possible, is there a plan to do it anytime soon or could someone point me in a direction to look into implementing it? If I could launch Netflix from within XBMC and then exit from it back to XBMC, I would never have to ever exit XBMC back to the Apple TV interface.

There is a plugin for Windows only because Silverlight and DRM do not play nice with Linux. You can download it from the xbmc.org addons (default addon location).

I'm aware of the add-on, but I was assuming/hoping that maybe the Netflix in Apple TV was just an app that could be launched or something like that. If they could somehow link it within XBMC, that would work great but I don't even know if its possible or how it's implemented in Apple TV.

That's a good suggestion. The app must be loaded somewhere on the ATV files. If we could just create a shortcut to it, that would be great.

Not possible, frontrow items are plugins, not apps. They are called frapps. They work singular and pushed onto the frontrow controller stack. Push a frapp, pops the previous frapp.

Darn. Would it be somehow possible to launch it and quit XBMC anyway? If anything it would at least save a step from having to quit XBMC and then launch Netflix. At worst, maybe a script solution? Thanks for any insight you can give.
