Any support planned for Netfix's new online viewing with the MVP? Just got that today, too! It's a good day!

Do they offer MPEG2 files or some other type of file?

I have to watch the movies by downloading their viewer and running it in Internet Explorer.

Unfortunately, I doubt that there will ever be support for this in GBPVR. The problem is that the files are DRM-encrypted to prevent illegal copying. In fact, you can't even use Firefox to watch the Netflix movies because the DRM software only runs on Internet Explorer.

This is similar to how GBPVR will never be able to play music bought from the iTunes music store. Since they (Netflix / Apple) don't want you to copy it, you can only play it with their specific software.
