When I use Understudy Netflix signs me out.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Doesn't always happen. quite frequently though. After I log into Netflix 
through safari I go to use understudy and the netflix sign in page pops up, 
even though I have already signed in through safari.
Sometimes it will work ok and the movie will start, then after i watch some of 
the movie and go to pick another it then will want me to sign into netflix 
again.

What is the expected output or result?

I wan't to be able to not have to keep signing into netflix.
What do you see instead?

I can confirm that this is happening for me also. Specifically, I am using 
Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard. 

It seems that Neflix requires members to sign-in after watching a movie. So, 
for example, I sign-in. I can browse movies from the Netflix site  OR I can use 
Understudy to browse movies, including my instant watch queue. I can also 
select a movie and IT WILL BEGIN STREAMING. However, the next time I try to 
select a movie, I am required to login again. 

One additional discovery... If I LOGIN -> WATCH A MOVIE VIA NEXTFLIX WEBSITE/IN 
THE BROWSER -> GO TO UNDERSTUDY .... The result is still the same. I will have 
to login again to watch another movie. So, it does not appear to be isolated to 
just Understudy. I am forced to login again regardless of whether I watch the 
movie via Understudy/Front Row or from a web browser.

I'm just guessing, but it may be that the SESSION / AUTH COOKIE is destroyed 
after a movie is viewed. Thus, requiring the user to login again to watch 
another movie. 

Hope this helps. It really undermines the use of Understudy to have to login 
each time.

One additional detail... I am on a STREAMING ONLY plan with Netflix. I do not 
also receive movies in the mail. There may be a difference in their application 
specific to stream-only members.

Bulk reassignment of open understudy issues that were owned by the wrong 
account.
