<div dir="ltr">Hope I don't ruffle any feathers since it's not strictly Myth related but I see so many requests around Netflix that I thought I'd share. Using a beta piece of not-free software for Windows called PlayOn (<a href="http://www.themediamall.com/playon">http://www.themediamall.com/playon</a>) and XBMC on my Myth box I'm reliably streaming my Instant Watch Netflix queue over UPnP. <br>
<br>My Myth box is Mythbuntu 7.10 updated to Myth .21. Using the instructions at <a href="http://xbmc.org">xbmc.org</a> I enabled the repositories for Ubuntu 7.10 and installed xbmc Atlantis beta 1 along with scripts and themes using Synaptic. I enabled uPNP and was able to add my Windows box as a UPnP source. From there I was able to stream Netflix as well as Hulu and Youtube on my TV without issue. <br>
<br>It's a kludge and requires Windows, but it does work.Plus, PlayOn is neither free as in beer or speech. If you've got a Windows box on your network it's a very easy one-time install (so long as you've installed the Netflix player), so it could be thrown on some random machine and forgotten (if you're like me and have such things at your house). I wonder if one would be able to virtualize an instance of Windows on their Mythbox and use that as the 'backend' for the stream. I was able to streamline things a bit and launch XBMC from within myth by modifying one of the Mythtv menu xml files at /usr/share/mythtv/.<br>
<br>Again there's a lot of closed source trickery going on here and I don't want to anger anybody on this list, i just thought it would be helpful for people like me who want that magic bridge between the computer and the living room TV. I also don't know enough about Myth's UPnP client capabilities, I used xbmc because I've been using it for years and am familiar with it.If there's a way to accomplish this without the xbmc piece I'd love to hear about it, it would be awesome if you could create new channels for Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, etc.<br>
