Having an issue on 12.04 x64. The program installs through the terminal, but when I go to click on the icon; nothing happens at all. Does anybody know what's going on here?
did you have wine installed at all before installing this? i had the same problem untill i uninstalled everything and did it again. i still had the problem a few times after, but then all of a sudden it just started working on its own for me.

I had the same problem. I solved it by purging and using autoremove.
sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop:i386
and
sudo apt-get autoremove
Then I installed with this command.
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
That did the trick for me.

I've been having a problem with playback being at double speed. Any one know a fix for this? Everything else is working fine, I am on a 64 bit system.

Okay - has this happened to anyone:
(after adding the ppa and doing apt-get update)
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop results in error: Depends: wine-compholio (> 1.5.16) but is not installable
so next I tried sudo apt-get install wine-compholio, and it tells me that wine-compholio is not available, and "E: Package 'wine-compholio' has no installation candidate"
This error occurred on ubuntu 12.10 x64. I have installed this no problem on 12.10 x86, but get this error on 64-bit.
I did check and I have main, universe, restricted, and multiverse enabled.

Try installing again. It's possible you tried to install Netflix Desktop while the modified version of WINE was still building on launchpad. I'm running 12.10 with the latest version and am having no issues.

Just to let the community know. This app also works on lovefilm in the uk. Just ctrl-l to get a url input box and goto www.lovefilm.com. Works pretty well. A little stuttery at times but watchable.

Please try running the following command:
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
If it does not output "i386" then that means that Multi-Arch support is disabled. You can enable Multi-Arch by:
* Ubuntu 12.10:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update
* Ubuntu 12.04:
echo "foreign-architecture i386" | sudo tee /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch && sudo apt-get update

I'm not getting 2 fps as the above poster, but closer to 15 fps is still not good enough for watching a movie.
Hopefully, this project will improve over time, or Netflix might actually release a Linux client at some point.

wine uses a .wine folder in the home folder, the netflix desktop probably uses a similar folder if you copy it and then let it update and it fails you can just reset it from the backup

A wide variety of variables, not all related to power, appear to be at play. On my older HP 32 bit, Intel driven, laptop, the performance of the Netflix-Desktop is every bit as good as the Windows side. However, on my much more powerful 64 bit, Radeon driven 1080p VAIO, the performance is slower than the windows side and worse than on the much older and slower HP.

frame rates, interesting talk about 24 vs 48 frames per second
http://techland.time.com/2012/12/06/riddles-in-the-dark-the-hobbits-48-frames-per-second-explained/?iid=obnetwork
some example showing this effect, which sometimes is very visible in Netflix. Something I have NOT noticed on Amazon prime or Hulu or youtube or even cbs on the net.
Netflix seems to have the noticeable judder, sometimes only tiny, sometimes a lot, which I have seen so bad sometimes I cant even stand to watch. And I find it very annoying that this happens. So I wonder what is different about netflix.
It might have something to do with interpolation where software fills in generating extra frames. And then I hear that dedicated player hardware, people say does not show the juddering. So then you can blame the software.

Not to sure what else to do. I've purged everything and installed and still nothing. I'm using 12.10 64 bit. Thanks for the help.

I believe all the dependency/broken package issues I have is due to some Wubi quirk. From a link someone here shared I discovered that by doing this:
sudo aptitude install netflix-desktop
The terminal found all the packages that need to be changed, removed, or repaired and then went through the motions of doing so. By doing this it also installed all the versions and apps of Wine I needed among many missing libraries. After doing the command above I went ahead and did the original three commands from Post #1 and it worked like a charm. My advice for any Wubi users here to try aptitude instead of apt-get. Thanks everyone for your patience and diligence!

I have installed Netflix on two older laptops and it worked. However, I cant make it work for me on my desktop. Its a pentium4 3 ghz with 2 gig ram, running a fresh install of 12.04. When I click on the netflix icon It opens the page and lets me choose a movie. Then the screen scrambles a second, then either returns to the netflix page locked up, or the screen goes black. I'm disappointed.

You have 2 partitions?
You can convert ext3 to ext4 without losing data
To enable the ext4 features on an existing ext3 filesystem, use the command:
# tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/DEV
WARNING: Once you run this command, the filesystem will no longer be mountable using the ext3 filesystem!
After running this command (specifically, after setting the uninit_bg parameter), you MUST run fsck to fix up some on-disk structures that tune2fs has modified:
# e2fsck -fDC0 /dev/DEV

I used to run Netflix through my bluray player, but then discovered that with Roku 3 box I can turn my LCD slightly older flat panel large screen TV into a smart TV with many , many apps. So I bought a Roku 3 box, I can stay in bed at night, plug in the head phones to the remote that came with Roku3 and it shuts off the TV sound and comes through the head phones, only problem is that it goes through bateries fast if you fall asleep with it on like I do, hence the point of having TV on when trying to sleep. But at least no one else in the house has to listen to TV at 2 in the morning. If my Roku box should fail I can always revert back to my bluray player where I have to get up and plug in an extention cord for earbuds to the TV so no one gets kept awake by the sound still workable though.
That being said it would be nice to have netflix play on my 22 inch wide screen monitor for unbunto, its smaller than my TV but it would save a lot on electric when surfing the web to have a movie playing too that I can go back and forth to.
As for Android, netflix plays the best on my LG Motion dual core processor than anything else, and I can use it as a queue too! And the Motion is way far from latest or greatest. but it is fast as hell, can miltitask on it, its just has a slightly smaller screen. But isn't Android Ice Cream Sandwich built on linux in the first place? If so than why can't netflix get it to work on a regular linux distro, such as Ubunto? Hint, hint???? ;)

- it's now running on Google Chrome OS even on html5.
so yes they can do it even if exclusive to Chrome.
But
maybe we can get it fully ported native when Ubuntu phone ship.

Got the same a couple days ago. I fixed it with
sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop
rm -rf ~/.wine/
rm -rf ~/.wine-browser/
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
I don't know if removing ~/.wine/ is actually necessary. Obviously if you have other Windows programs installed via wine (I don't) you'll want to make sure to backup anything before removing it.
Edit: It's not necessary to run rm -rf ~/.wine/

Ann, that did it, thanks! HD is still choppy, but if I turn it off, I can get back to watching Eureka :-)

maybe we can get it fully ported native when Ubuntu phone ship. Did you say phone? As in do they have plans for all us unfortunate android owners to let us sync our phones??? <snip>

My apologies to my previous post, I was trying to make a light hearted joke. Won't happen again..

I just read this and it is looking like it will be possible to view Netflix on Linux soon. Google needs to work on building that third extension into the browser for this to happen.

I installed it using the PPA but whenever I login to netflix, I only get a black screen. tried purging/reinstalling, no luck.

if you hear audio theres a chance you can still view the video by clicking on the bottom right corner area until you eventually click the fullscreen button. When you do, usually the video is then viewable.

You're better off installing XBMC in Ubuntu and watching any movie you want. Or get a Chromecast.
