Re: OT: Netflix and Linux and LAN

What intrigued me about this post was the word 'distributed'. This to
me says pause on one and play on the other. If you have unlimeted
streams this is just a matter of starting a second stream where you
left off. Other then that I do not know any service that will do this
for you. Of course I suppose one could configure a media proxie but I
don't know how you would get around the drm.
