Netflix Fedora Watch Movies & TV Shows Online

[debo2011]

BREAKING NEWS! Netflix on Fedora linux work! After several tests we decided to share with you, a few months ago, our friends at I Heart Ubuntu made ​​a call to the community to get Netflix on Ubuntu. Somehow. Legally. Without the need to install a virtual operating system or booting into it. Something as natural as possible. On that basis, although we have a plugin for Silverligh open this very buggy , Netflix is impossible to run this way.



Thanks to Erich Hoover who created Silverligh patches to work properly, we can now enjoy this benefit, these patches are applied before the wine source code, in order to compile.

Except that Netflix NOW requires you to give up your rights to sue and submit to binding arbitration (for which they PAY) - you didn't read the "agreement" - you just clicked it so you could get more movies, didn't you?

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

For Paypal, you have to send a snail mail. (Not joking). I did that, I haven't heard anything though.
Don't know about Netflix--this is actually quite a common thing these days, but I suspect that if someone really gets enough folks ticked off that it will be declared invalid. However, I'm not a lawyer.

hummmm???

so, ah, er, do I have to install wine to get the Netflix program to work?

hope I'm not off topic here??
I'd like to give Netflix a try but I don't want to have run Windows to do it.

[WaltS48]

Nice to know I can watch Netflix online, if I decide I want the extra monthly expense.

I'm happy with my DVD through the mail account. Usually get two a week.

Thanks, This seems to be an error of "wine" for 64bit platforms, check if exists the following directories: / opt/Netflix64/bin/wine64.

If the path does not exist, probably is a bug in the installer.

If exists path, then possibly "wine" for 64bit platform is the problem. Netflix uses Windows Firefox, and silverligh only support 32-bit platforms.

Netflix Player works properly on 32-bit platforms, sorry

Hey debo2011,

Any idea if anyone is working on a 64bit Netflix Player?

[LadyAlison]

I just downloaded fedora 17. Can we get Netflex?

[compdave7681]

Ok I moved over to 32-bit and it still does not work.
The output is here: pastebin.com/WZ7JGkWt
(It was blocking me from posting urls)

Any help is greatly appreciated, don't want to go back to Ubuntu
