http://linuxfloat.org – Anyone that uses netflix? After installing Ubuntu 11 no extras, netflix played movies just fine. I'm thinking there was an update or something and it no longer will play. Says I need windows. This just started a couple weeks or so ago. Anyone got an answer for me on this one. Looking online all I get is netflix has not worked on linux but they are working on it... (HowTos)

Netflix Account 3 years 21 weeks ago

Guys, I've just signed up for a trial account over at Netflix and have a couple of weeks to decide whether or not I want to keep the account. I've looked around online, but couldn't find anything that was obviously better, but perhaps I've missed some other service that should be considered. Do any of you have other recommendations, or is Netflix the way to go?

Netflix on 11.10 1 year 19 weeks ago

Netflix now supports Chrome OS 13 or higher, and Mac OS 10.4.11 or later. I have tried Moonlight without success.

Netflix streaming problems 10 weeks 1 day ago

Hey everyone, new to the community! Hopefully someone out there can help me with this. Since I have updated my galaxy tab 2 to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (not the full 4.2 for some reason) Netflix streaming no longer works. Netflix thinks it is either a device problem or my internet signal isn't strong enough (that sounds like a load of crap).

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even those in the lighthearted holiday fare you were planning to watch on Netflix, which has been down since 1pm PST for some customers.

BREAKING NEWS! :dance: 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.
