Dear Aworan, thank you so much for this Tutorial, with the information and steps contained here i was able to get Netflix and Amazon video up and running this evening in Chromium 50 and it works remarkably well.
I updated the tutorial to use BRANCH=next there is some issue with last beta kernel.
It is because of some conflict with rpi binary blob librairies and OpenGL driver.
I fix that on last kernel editing some ld.conf files but it is maybe too complicated to add weird steps for common users.
Well thank you so much for your work Aworan, working through this and the other tutorials on the PI is alot of fun, working with the PI reminds me of when i started all the way back in the late 90s on Mandrake linux
Are you french ?
I used Mandrake too in late 90s
I run lubuntu too because of pulse audio and bad audio sync.
Bad audio sync is a general problem for me with ubuntu mate and there is not clean way to remove pulseaudio.
Does option load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 resolves the problem on mate ?
Make sure you remove existing chromium before installing (50.0.2661.102) from above links.
Along with the user-agent switch, I needed to add --disable-gpu to make it work correctly (display would be corrupted otherwise).
Do NOT disable Media Source API in chrome://flags when --disable-gpu is used. It throws some error in Netflix.
On my debian installation I installed chromium 39 and the latest version of libnss3, netflix failed to play. I tried on my ubuntu installation and it too failed. I tried installing chrome from the website and it WORKED. I looked at the version of chrome and chromium. They're both 39.0.2171.XY. AFAIK chrome 38+ works.
You will need that plugin installed to chromium for it to work. You might also add the google talk plugin and pdf plugin while you're at it, but if you do so you pretty much just installed chrome as those are some of the primary differences.
In fact, though, until late summer 2015 you couldn't install that component singly to chromium - we can chalk that one up to another (short-lived) win for Digital Restrictive Management, I guess. With some serious downtime and expert hacking you might be able to compile your own package (a chromium compile is no Sunday drive, by the way) - but you might have to hack the plugin out of chrome.
As of August 2015, though, you can now install the Widevine module separately as the chromium maintainer has patched the source to accept its use. For example, on an Arch Linux system there is the chromium-widevine AUR package. Have a look at its PKGBUILD script to see how it's done - it doesn't look very complicated. Essentially the chrome...deb debian package file is downloaded, from it are extracted only a few Widevine relevant files, their version numbers captured, and then these are copied into the relevant chromium installation paths.
There is also the Pipelight project which should enable you to use the Silverlight plugin (via wine) to watch Netflix video (and so not the HTML5 method which works with chrome) in chromium. It is a somewhat heavy-handed approach in my opinion, but it is a popular option.
depuis qqs jours, impossible de prendre netflix :
- ni avec firefox : il me dit un code erreur F7121-3078 avec le message "il semble que votre navigateur ne soit plus pris en charge. Veuillez installer la version la plus jour ou essayer un autre navigateur". Actuellement j'ai firefox version 89.0 (32 bits) et je n'ai pas de mise jour disponible
ni avec chromium : depuis le dbut a ne marche pas. Il semble que je n'ai aucun fichier widevine
Fait faire la migration de la version Ubuntu de 32 64 bits. Cela n'a pas rsolu immdiatement mon problme avec Netflix qui ne voulait toujours pas se lancer aprs identification. Le lien suivant m'a permis de rsoudre mon problme .

Il y a chomsky qui avait le mme problme il y a quelques jours et qui souponnait aussi que c'tait li la distro en 32 bits. Je ne sais pas s'il a fait une rinstallation en 64 bits et si a a corrig le problme.
Conseils pour les nouveaux demandeurs et pas qu'eux

C'est donc possible (et prfrable) de passer sur une Ubuntu ce format mais comme je le disais, il faudra faire une rinstallation. Je n'ai pas lu l'autre sujet, j'imagine que a a t suggr et que c'est peut-tre plus ou moins en cours ou prvu ? Ce n'est pas trs compliqu faire, simplement il faudra faire une sauvegarde de tes donnes perso avant.
C'est juste un nettoyage de restes de paquets (fichiers de config rests en place aprs la suppression de certains paquets), il n'y a pas vraiment de raison que a change quelque chose au fonctionnement de Netflix mais a ne cote rien d'essayer.
Cela dit, si tu as une source sur l'hypothse de la distro ou du navigateur en 32 bits qui serai(en)t l'origine du problme, a peut tre ventuellement utile pour voir si c'est crdible, s'il y a une info qui est catgorique l-dessus, etc.
La distribution ("distro"), c'est la version de Linux que tu utilises ; ce n'est pas un systme d'exploitation monolithique dvelopp par une entreprise (comme c'est le cas pour Microsoft avec Windows ou Apple avec MacOS) mais plusieurs entits (entreprises, organisations, groupes de dveloppeurs indpendants...) qui proposent leur propre version avec des choix de logiciels, d'environnement de bureau, etc.
En gros, ma question, c'tait : est-ce que tu as vu passer des infos qui tendraient confirmer que le problme vient bien de l'utilisation d'un Linux en 32 bits et/ou de Firefox en 32 bits ? Personnellement, je n'utilise pas Netflix mais toutes les infos que je trouve concernant son utilisation sur Linux datent pas mal et ne sont probablement plus pertinentes aujourd'hui.
Me revoil ! je n'avais pas vu le dernier message de xubu1957... et je n'ai pas fait la commande propose. Dsole.
J'ai port ma machine dans une boutique pour faire la migration en 64 bits. Tout s'est bien pass mais de retour chez moi, le mme problme et message d'erreur s'affichait avec Netflix... donc rien de chang, MAIS...
J'ai recontact le technicien qui m'a fait passer ce lien qui m'a permis de refaire marcher Netflix avec firefox et chromium.
Merci ceux qui l'ont crit !

Donc mon problme est dsormais rsolu mais je ne suis toujours pas sre que le problme venait de mon installation en 32 bits...
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.
