    At least this app is getting a little better with each update. I just cant wait until this is actually able to play video's in HD. It's still only playing 1 frame every half a second for me.

    Is there instructions to manual compile?

    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.

    Re: Netflix On Ubuntu

    I keep getting prompted to update silverlight from within the netflix-desktop,
    If I allow this; is it going to screw-up things or is this the way it works?

    I am very inexperienced with wine and am unsure how things are done.
    Thanks!

    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

    Sounds like a plan.

    Probably a week too late, but don't update silverlight.
