Netflix API - alter video?

Question

So I would like to know if there is any way to alter the video that is playing on netflix, through writing a script or a plug-in for the service.

An example: 22 minute show. Let's say I want to skip the first 2 minutes and continue the video from there. I mean, there has to be some kind of way to do this, I expect it to be

if(video.play) then video.play(timestamp)

or something like if(colorcode) then skip.frame(); or whatever.

You'd better be quick... http://developer.netflix.com/blog/read/Retiring_the_Netflix_Public_API — mhawke, Aug 01 '14 at 11:18

For Silverlight playback, you can get a reference on the video object that their site uses with the following JavaScript (i.e. using something like TamperMonkey):

var vp = netflix.cadmium.objects.videoPlayer(); 
vp.seek(60500); // in milliseconds

Refer to the ending comment in Controlling Netflix playback with TamperMonkey as well.
