I get this error message in Fedora 18:

wine: cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'

Any help?

Debo, thank you so much for this. It works pretty well. I'd say great but it doesn't seem to run in high def. Oh well, at least it works without having to run a virtual server.

Thanks for this, I can use Comcast's streaming site with this which requires Silverlight.

I didn't and Netflix terminated me.

By the way, PayPal has also required you to "opt out" of this very SAME agreement - but I can find absolutely NO "opt out" on their site - I've looked.

- I might mention that all those [Accept] boxes you've been clicking without reading ('cause you just HAD to have what ever it was, or just didn't want to be bothered reading) ... You've given up your rights each time! The two I mention above are are only the LATEST - you've been agreeing to give up your legal rights all over the place (for a song, or a movie, or a credit card, or who knows what).

Freedom is lost NOT in one "fell swoop" - it is lost a "chip at a time" - with the exception of the CHUNK we gave up when G. W. Bush enacted the "Patriot Act" and we didn't SCREAM about.

Anyway - I've no longer any use for a company that requires me to give up my rights. You choose as you see fit.

and sorry for boring

And what exactly is it you feel you gonna need to sue Netflix for? Just askin

I'm seeing this same problem, but I have no ideas. I've never used WINE before, so I don't know how installing Firefox.exe would work.

Your best bet is probably to delete all the installation locations and reinstall, making sure to run as root/sudo on the install.

For those who see no video but hear audio, make sure you have the 32 video libs install

***Edit***
This only applies to those who use rpmfusion to install proprietary drivers. I don't know about the opensource drivers (I assume they don't have this issue) or drivers installed directly from AMD/Nvidia

For AMD:

Code:

sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i686

For NVidia:

Code:

sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

Followed everything in the first post on this thread and all seemed to go well except it said I needed to install Silverlight and browser may not be supported. So I downloaded it manually from within that browser session and then double clicked it in the downloads of Firefox. Exit, then restart, try watching a video and Firefox hangs.

Close and restart Netflix Desktop then go to the Silverlight site in that browser session and it still gives the error message that my browser may be unsupported but that I can try installing manually. Its like Silverlight is only partly installed or something. I check extensions and Silverlight is listed as installed.

I try everything again as root just to be sure, same result although it was from the command line this time so I have a log of the output.

I checked through the whole thread, nothing useful, nvidia libs installed, etc. Not sure where to go from here.

Everything seemed to go well with the install for me as well but i seem to be having the same issue as alexatkin - can anyone go into more detail on the installation of the silverlight plugin install? thanks!

alexatkin · #41 25th May 2013, 05:27 PM

Still nothing?

I have discovered that Silverlight does indeed open and cover the whole browser window (making it appear the browser has hung), but nothing appears. I can right click and get into Silverlight settings, but there is nothing useful in there.

Same result here. I wonder if there is an older version of Silverlight required?

UPDATE:
I noticed that Silverlight wasn't downloaded during the initial installation, which should put the exe file in ~/.netflix-tmp. I used the wget command from the /usr/bin/netflix-desktop script and downloaded it there manually. Then I deleted ~/netflix-desktop, which forces both Firefox and Silverlight to be reinstalled. Now everything appears to work...almost. I start a show and it goes through the red "loading" screen, but then barfs with the "Whoops, something went wrong" error blaming it on an "Internet Connection Problem". This looks to be a problem with wine and the compholio patches:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop/+bug/1156973

The very last post has another Fedora user who has a repo of wine rpms that I will try.

There also appear to be problems with auto-updates to Firefox breaking things. You can hit F10 and go into Tools->Options->Advanced->Update to disable that.
