Understudy suddenly stopped listing episodes of some television shows from Netflix

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Open Safari, login into Netflix, open Front Row, open Understudy and Netflix 
Queue, select title of almost any television show in Netflix queue.  

What is the expected output or result?
Until just a few days ago, when selecting a television show, I have always been 
able to access a list of episodes of that season of that program and have been 
able to select the episode I would like to view.  When episodes are available 
for selection, the title of the show has always had the (>) symbol beside it.

What do you see instead?
Instead, Netflix/Front Row/Understudy immediately starts playing the episode of 
that show I viewed last or the episode following the one I viewed last.  I no 
longer have the option of selecting an episode.  The small symbol (>) that 
shows episodes are available for selection is not even present.  Since some 
shows stop with a couple of seconds left, I can get stuck on that episode and 
not be able to go to the next one using Front Row.

The episode information is working for me, which makes it hard to fix.

I notice you said "some" television shows. Is it working for some and not 
others? Is it consistent about which ones? If so and you can give specific 
examples, it might help. Feel free to post them here or email me directly (I 
won't tell everyone that you're catching up on "My Little Pony", even if it's 
true).

It occurs on at least the following:  Babylon 5 Season 3, Stargate SG1 Season 
2, My Name is Earl Season 1, The Guild, The Kids in the Hall, Quantum Leap 
Season 1, Blackadder, and Arrested Development Season 1.  Also, as of a few 
minutes ago, these shows are the only ones I can watch at all (still without 
about being able to select specific episodes.)  The rest just sit there with 
the spinny-graphic-of-waiting (its technical name, of course.)

I am having the same problem. All of my TV shows do not show the ">" anymore, 
and I cannot access the episode list. It plays fine, but you don't get to 
choose the episode. Wings, Monk, Andy Griffith are an examples of one of the 
shows that do not work. 

Wait a minute! I think I just figured it out. Netflix has changed their format. 
Instead of listing each season separately, they are all listed on one page. 
They have been gradually doing this for some time now. Understudy needs to be 
modified to match their new format.

This is a very frustrating issue - Netflix no longer allows one to add 
individual seasons or episodes of a television show. You may only add the 
entire series now, and it doesn't all for browsing episodes via Understudy.

I am having this same problem. I cannot select any specific episodes for any 
series. It stinks!!

This started happening when Netflix reformatted their streaming webpage. They 
appear to have changed the directory structure with a single top level entry 
for each TV show, and sub-directories for each season. Understudy does not seem 
to be able to directly access the directories that contain episodes and starts 
the "play all" function by default.

Release 0.10.1 should resolve this.

I just downloaded 0.10.1, and cannot select specific episodes in any series...  
What went wrong?  Would you mind fixing that again?  Thank you!!
