For some time now I have been trying to figure out. How do I get netflix to play thru VLC.
Because I have to admit. All the software I have encountered. VLC is the absolute best!
I would be grateful for this information. Thank You.

Reason being that Netflix uses MS Silverlight protocol and VLC hasn't implemented Silverlight yet. Silverlight is Microsoft's attempt to take over Adobe Flash RTMP.
I hope VLC start to plan support for Silverlight in the future but seeing as how Silverlight is so bound by DRM protections, I wouldn't be surprised if VLC team decided not to.

DRMs are the issue, indeed.

Different protocols so sadly cant be done. I am pretty sure VLC will add silverlight in some point in the future though.
