Since two days, Netflix can stream on the Apple's iPad; an ipod/iphone version is expected. Is there a chance for a Neflix streaming application for Meamo? Can this be developed by the community, or do we need to ask nicely Netflix to write it?

PS. I do realize this is a US specific problem mostly...

Tough luck. They still don't have an application for Linux. I believed that Silverlight was the reason, but apparently that is not so, otherwise they wouldn't have it on the apple's devices. I guess then it remains to see if Silverlight will make its way to N900...

well netflix on my computer only requires silverlight and I had asked this question and there is some package similar to silverlight which will make netflix play the movies and shows. But I cannot find a link to that package you might have better luck searching for silverlight for N900, since N900 uses regular desktop kind web browser if we get a silverlight we would not need an app for it we can directly stream.

Does anyone know what format the movie files are?
Are they DRM-ed?

Your talking about moonlight (Linux version of siverlight) but it doesn't work that well. And I don't think it supports DRM.

Who knows, maybe Netflix is using HTML5 for the iPad *shrugs*

yep heard that it was using the HTML5 because microsoft clearly stated that they will not bring silverlight to iphone and ipad platform.

I wonder if the iPad app is in fact using HTML5 if there's any chance the content can be accessed sans iPad. I'm gonna act like the chance > zero...
