The only way I know of is to install a virtual machine of XP and then run it from in there. Netflix is using the same crap ABC.com uses which doesn't have any linux player.
EDIT: My wife and I finally just bought a Roku player because it was better (and I was hoping to some day be able to hack it to be a Mythfrontend - though no luck so far).
Netflix player uses Silverlight. Which is made by a little company called Microsoft.
not sure if that figures into the lack of Linux support or not...
has at least something to do with it as it was a long time before Mac got support and that only for the Intel Macs running 10.5 + and ONLY with safari browser, not FF or Chrome.
i canceled my netflix account as a result and told them why. no native linux support and no proper Mac support means no money for you from me.
