I LOVE Netflix (http://www.netflix.com). Ive watched SOoo... many movies in the years Ive had it. Im watchin' the whole 1st season of the new Battlestar Galactica now. :) Its awesome.
Ive seen recently that their are apps that you can use outside of Netflix (http://www.netflix.com) to control your queue.

Netflix Freak (http://www.thelittleappfactory.com/application.php?app=Netflix%20Freak) -OSX

Netflixter (http://www.inkysoftware.com/netflixter.html) -XP

So has anyone seen an app like these for linux? A nice GTK2 app? Maybe a nice new project. :) If anyone is interested in developing this Ide love to sponser it. Website hosting and such.

Looks great, but why can't you manage netflix in the browser?

I knew about those two. Even posted the link to one. (see 1st post)

Im looking for a native linux option. ;)

Anyone found an app like this yet? The web interface makes it really hard to rearrange movies in the queue unless you just want to send them to the top. Its really a pain.

Actually now you can edit their numbered order then hit apply.
