Went to bed watching Netflix, then awoke a few hours later to find that Firefox had auto updated to 34.0.5 and that I could no longer access any Netflix video... I receive a Netflix Error Code N8152, which refers to a DRM/Silverlight error. Netflix continues to work properly in IE and Chrome.
Following Netflix's instructions, I've uninstalled/reinstalled Silverlight multiple times (making sure I have the newest version). I've verified that Silverlight plug-in is set to "Always Activate" and that it is "Allowed" and Enabled for Netflix.com. (I have also followed all of Netflix's other troubleshooting tips, even though I know they are not relevant, such disabling virus protection software, and adding Netflix.com as a trusted site, etc...
hi tommyj1112, microsoft has released a defective update for silverlight through the monthly patchday yesterday (and disabled it again afterwards). can you try this fixit tool to restore your installation or else reinstall silverlight manually?
I have the same problem. I follow Philipps chosen solution several times but still "netflix" is not working.It works with "explorer" and with "chrome" because (as the guys at "netflix" told me) those two browsers do not use the silverlight "plug-in.But I do not want to use anything but "firefox".
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit, which I installed using the original release (not the newer 12.04.2 release), and have been successfully using netflix-desktop ever since the ppa:ehoover/compholio repository was made available. I never encountered any problems, whatsoever, until a couple of days ago.
For those that don't like messing with the console, you can just go to your home directory and either click on "View" and check "Show Hidden Files", or just press Ctrl+H, then scroll down until you see the folder labeled ".wine-browser", perform a right mouse-click on the folder, and select "Move to Trash" from the resulting menu.
I don't think it is the silverlight update which does it. It is Firefox update. So press F11 to get into window mode. Then press F10. Go to Options/Preferences ->Advanced-> updates, then disable the automatic browser update.
In the past, many Linux users had to run virtualization software in order to use the online silverlight based charting software. Now, with the work from Erich Hoover a patch for wine has been created in order to have the propietary silverlight installed. It's silly because it was intended for use with netflix - but with all of this said TC2000 v12 works, and quite decently I might add.
Essentially what it does is install a firefox through wine. After this, you can run the netflix-desktop app, which how you'll view netflix videos if you're using it for what it was intended, or view TC2000 charts...
You'll notice that the browser opens in full screen mode by default, but by pressing f11 you make it into a standard window if need be. You'll also need a way to type in the tc2000 url. This can be done by pressing "ctrl+t" to open a new tab, and then by right cliking to the right of the new tab and checking off navigation toolbar.
Thanks for sharing this info, as I've been wanting to run TC2000 on Linux for a long time. This looked promosing for Ubuntu. Running Ubuntu Precise. Got it started up after it crashed on the first install and it did work for a bit and then sort of froze up. Then it did nothing when trying to start netflix-desktop the second time. Uninstalled, removed the repo, reinstalled repo and appliation. Tried again and still does nothing. It did work the first time. Oh, well. Maybe others will have better luck. Wine is tricky to deal with has been my experience.
Is anyone out there????? I am running Ubuntu Linux on my desktop. Not because I chose it. but because an exboyfriend installed it. I need to download tc2000 but am not able to download Silverlight succesfully.
I have been able to get tc2000 working on 2 linux mint machines. Was not able to get it using directions of akspeculatioins (problems with installing the Hoover ppa, etc). However, doing some google research on hoover led to the pipelight ppa which does the essentially the same function as the hoover. Go to -team.de/cms-pipelight-installation.html and follow the directions. Using Mint, I used the Ubuntu directions. Copied and pasted the teminal commands into a terminal window. When finished, opened my browser to tc2000.com and the silverlight plugin auto installed, then tc2000 opened. Takes less than 5 minutes. Installed on Mint 13 laptop and desktop. Desktop was originally Mint 9 and encountered some problems (can't remember details) so I upgraded 9 to 13 as it had been 3 to 5 years since I installed 9 and 9 is no longer supported.
The url link in the previous posts, -team.de/cms/pipelight-installation.htm no longer works but forwards to a site about Wine Staging. It may be that Wine Staging will do the same functionality as pipelight - I do not know. I do not currently desire to experiment with it. I did locate the following site which is an archive of the pipelight url and has the commands and instructions to install pipelight and the silverlight plugin --
At this page, select one of the Pipelight Installation links and then click on the link for the flavor of linux you have. It will bring up a page with the commands to run in a terminal which will add the pipelight ppa repository to your linux OS and install pipelight. Follow the instructions to add and enable the silverlight plugin. (In my case, when you type the command, silverlight was with a lower case "s").
I had tried and failed to manually add the pipelight ppa repository to my Linux Mint 18 software sources. The commands listed in the above archive worked. All this takes less than 5 minutes to complete and get TC2000 up and running in your web browser.
The instructions below are legacy instructions for running Silverlight on Linux via Wine.However, running Netflix is entirely possible in Ubuntu Linux 12.04 and later releases (and most likely any other modern distribution). See the section below "Running with Wine".
This is because they use Microsoft Silverlight plugin with DRM. Although there is a Linux alternative to Silverlight called Moonlight, it does not have any DRM built in and it is unlikely Moonlight will implement a DRM option. Netflix has stated they will not use anything without DRM. So if Netflix continues to use Silverlight, then there will be no official Linux support.
If you don't like it, complain to Netflix, not us. Their phone number is 1-866-716-0414 or you could sign the petition to add Linux support to Netflix. Petition to add Netflix "Watch Now" feature for Linux. Calling Netflix and signing the petition both is the best plan as the numerous times I've called has resulted in the call center person telling me that "...the more people who call and request linux as an option is noted by Netflix".
Depending on each individual system's configuration and hardware, video quality may vary. The steps for installing or running Netflix with Wine listed below this line may be old or out-dated. (11/25/2012) -for-netflix-desktop-app.html
It is also possible to run Netflix under Wine with a couple of extra patches to the latest source code tree. Hopefully these patches will be included into Wine in the near future so that custom-compiling Wine is no longer necessary.
Using a virtual machine is a non-ideal solution, but it works. But if you have a Win-XP CD lying around its not so bad. Just think of it as running a really inefficient video player program, instead of a really backwards workaround.
Install Chrome version 37 or higher (currently the stable version). Launch Chrome, sign in to your Google account (if you have one), log in to Netflix, and streaming should be working. If not, make sure your system is fully up to date. In particular, you need a recent version of libnss3.
Searching for a standalone Netflix APP for Mac? You're in the right place! This guide helps you easily watch Netflix movies on Macbook Pro/Air (macOS Catalina and before compatible). Scroll down to find where to download Netflix APP Mac.
For your binge-watching, we provide a list of Netflix 3D movies later in this article and Netflix 4K movie list at the end of the article which you might be interested in once you successfully set up Netflix App for Mac OS.
Because first, you'll find Netflix Mac APP in iTunes Store only works for iOS (13 or earlier);
second, www.netflix.com doesn't offer a Mac version for you to download, neither;
third, even if you visit the APP Store on Mac, only a list of non-authentic Netflix APPs will be listed out there.
So where's the Netflix Mac APP? Well, truth is that rather than developing a standalone desktop Netflix Mac APP like they do for Windows 8.1/10, the company serves Mac users to watch Netlix movie/TV shows directly through web browsers like Safari, Firefox or Chrome (plug-in required).
First, if your 2019 Macbook Pro/Air is running Mac OS X El Captain or Yosemite, Netflix movie streaming is directly available in its native browser - Safari (latest version) - with the built-in settings for html5 video.
Second, should you be running Mountain Lion or earlier, follow the official instructions from netflix.com which describes how you can install a plug-in called Silverlight in order to watch, which we provide below:
Step 1: Vist www.netflix.com on your Mac computer, choose the New Year movies on Netflix you want to play.
Step 2: When a Silverlight dialog windows opens, hit "Install Now", which takes you to install Silverlight.dmg, kindly notice that download location is different depending on your web browser.
Step 3: Right-click or hold Control on your Mac's keyboard and select Silverlight.pkg, then select "Open" on the popping-up menu.
Step 5: Upon the warning "Silverlight.pkg is not from the Mac App Store. Are you sure you want to open it? Opening Silverlight.pkg will always allow it to run on this Mac.", proceed with a "Yes".
Step 6: Follow the installation wizard to successfully install Silverlight for Netflix Mac APP.
