Stream Netflix and Hulu into FrontRow using 'understudy'

A new Google Code project dubbed understudy promises to deliver Hulu and Netflix right into your FrontRow interface.  We haven’t tried this yet (damn you work!) but will the second we get home.  Any takers out there?

Update: Hulu is working fantastically for us!  We have confirmation that Netflix works well, but you must be logged into your account in Safari (not Firefox).  Head to the comments for more details.

Description Understudy allows access to streaming video through the Front Row interface of Mac OS X. The user can subscribe to multiple feeds, and select a video to watch from them. Understudy currently supports Hulu and Netflix.

Understudy is stable, but is also a work in progress. Please feel free to report any problems on the issue tracker. If you would like to know about future releasees, please subscribe to the "Downloads" feed.

Understudy is not affiliated with any of the streaming video sites the plugin supports, and will only work in cases where those site would (typically this means you must live in the United States).
