Anyone wanting to work on this needs to do something similar to the
mythweather rewrite.  There needs to be a generic plugin that can
work with both Netflix and Blockbuster depending on what set of scripts
you use.  The remote calls to manage the queues and get the RSS feeds
should be abstracted out, but the plugin should use a common framework
to display the information.

We don't want to have different plugins for every online DVD rental
system out there (there are more than the above two big players).
