Yes, we currently support Netflix accounts in 18 regions and will add support for others as Netflix continues to broaden their reach.Ĭontent availability depends on the content provider and your region. You'd still need a Netflix subscription to be able to look those things up from what I can see, so it's hard to see any value in that. You could use it to find things like Netflix rating, maybe a text description and cover art. The Netflix public API only allows access to the Netflix library, not the content itself. MAFIAA would probably send out their goons while Netflix would have to change their encryption scheme. If we were able to figure out how to decrypt it, publishing this as open source would essentially mean it became public knowledge. Playon and others obviously has found a way to compromise it, but if that knowledge became public I think there would be trouble for Netflix and they'd probably have to change their encryption scheme. I also guess that Netflix' deal with MAFIAA could be in jeopardy if the encryption scheme were publicly compromised. My guess is that MAFIAA demands that the content always 'stays' encrypted, so that any PVR would need to encrypt it when storing it so that it could only be played back on that device to have their blessing. What's very clear is that it violates Netflix' TOS.įrom what I understand the streams are encrypted, and I'm sure MAFIAA requires this for access to Hollywood material. Here is an article looking on whether it is legal in the US without managing to come to any conclusion.

Whether or not it is legal probably depends on the country you live in.
