Its complete!! NETFLIX has arrived for Plex!!!!

The one gnawing thorn in my side is finally gone! Watch it now for Netflix has arrived for Plex and it looks AWESOME! Posted today in the app store , easy install and wow, looks SOOO good on Mediastream and on Aeon Stark and to be honest, is even better than watch it now on Netflix's web site!

There are so many new options for how to find watch it now movies - Top movies in the past week, past 3 months, movies in your queue, new watch it now releases - its awesome!

It does require a installation of Silverlight by Microsoft, but that is easy and painless. Here is the post release and also screen shots of it on Mainstream and on Aeon Stark. Have fun!!

From Plex:

Netflix has never looked this good


A lot of people have been asking for this, and now your wish has been granted: Netflix on Plex. Tens of thousands of instantly playable movies, and a gorgeous interface with fanart, high resolution posters and rich metadata.

Major props to Scott for doing a brilliant job with this plug-in. He’s already hard at work at the next version.

The Netflix plug-in requires the latest version of Plex.

You also need the Silverlight plug-in installed.


These first two pics are from the stock Mediastream skin on Plex. You'll notice the one big important difference is Mediastream gives the movie description information right there. Stark does not, and as of now even pressing "I" or "info" on Harmony remote doesn't pull up the info - a pretty big drawback, I think - but, graphically, they both look great. I've been playing around with Stark for the past couple of days, since they released a new version a few days ago.

But, here are two pics from Mediastream and Netflix:

(all these are screen shots off my system)

And here are some shots from Netflix on Aeon Stark:
