It s#cks! It really s#cks! It made me so angry!
I'm a long time Netflix user. Watching movies right from my PC.
After switching to Linux I couldn't imagine that there could be such problem.
Opened Netflix. For a few minutes was choosing a movie. Clicked PLAY and.... BAAAM! Doesn't work.
Ok. Relax. Let's try to fix it (I said). It says that Nitflix supports by Windows and Mac only. Ignored that, tried to get some info from automated Netflix help machine.
After a few steps it said that I don't have a Silverlight. Opened MS to install a Silverlight. Installed it in a few secs. (It's actually called Moonlight for Linux).
Was just happy that the problem is fixed and I'll be able to watch my movies. But than, on the last page of installation Moonlight it said:
What the hell is this DRM (digital rights management)? How to fix it?
Netflix does not work with Moonlight at this time. While Moonlight supports all of the UI and media playback infrastructure, it lacks DRM support which Netflix requires. See this silverlight.net forum post and this page on the Moonlight wiki.
