I have uninstalled and reinstalled silverlight. The plug-in is in my harddrive/library/internet plug-in folder. Safari sees it in the preference pane. I have set the safari preference for silverlight to always allow and to run in unsafe mode. I have unchecked the preference to stop plug ins to save power.
Unfortunately I am still stuck. I uninstalled silverlight 5 and installed silverlight 4 and netflix still doesn't work. I can move my mouse across the netflix player and scroll thru the movie images, but it just will not play with the new Mavericks operating system.
Do you have any Anti-virus SW installed? This could be part of the problem if the AV SW is not fully compatible with 10.9. I had problems with Safari after the 10.9 upgrade that ended up being a combination of issues with ESET and my older router. The problems never existed on my office network, but did at home. Once I got around this, everything has worked as pre-10.9.
I just removed all safari plug-ins and all adobe folders in particular. Re-installed Silverlight 5. Still not working, same Netflix issue with the black screen. I can click on the movie frames and they load, it just will not play.
I didn't have the JavaApple Plug in installed. I installed it. Netflix still will not play. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I have a bad feeling that a harddrive reformat might be in order, but I would really like to avoid it if possible.
My coworker found this fix. The current version of silverlight won't start if the machine is running with the discrete NVIDIA GPU. Some apps need it and using an external monitor will cause it to use the discrete. Turn off all your apps and unplug the external montitor. This should put you back in the integrated Intel GPU. Now try to start a Netflix video, once its running you should be able to plug your external monitor back in and start other apps.
This doesnt' make any sense - I have been using Netflix with multiple monitors and Dymanic Graphics switching enabled for some time - in fact it was just running the other day in the morning - and then when I tried again int he afternoon - without upgrading anythign or changing any settings in between - I am getting Plug In Failure.
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.
Thank you so much for helping me out in pursuing this issue. If you ever find a solution it will be highly appreciated, it might even help others who are in the same situation as I. Please do not forget that I have installed along with Bodhi Cinnamon DE. Please let me know.

Do you have any option to go 64 bit on that computer?
If your computer is so old, that incapapble of running a 64 bit OS, the video playback of Netflix would be choppy anyway. If it has just few memory, say 2GB, but the CPU can run 64 bit OS, I would advise you to go 64 bit. In that case you could also try Electron Player, which is a dedicated player.
Thank you for replying with some sound suggestions regarding playing Netflix on FF. I will try playing Netflix on Proton player as suggested, as for the computer it is very old with Intel Pentium 4 chip with 1.5 gb of ram and will not probably be able to upgrade to 64bit.
I hate to tell you this but Netflix was working just fine when I had Lubuntu 18,04LTS. Ihad to replace it and I figured it will be nice to Bodhi Linux for a change. Thereis for the change is USB flash stopped displaying on the desktop and remaind stuck on mount rather on media hence, I was unable to save any documents on them otherwise, Netflix was working just fine.
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.
Hi guys. The Microsoft Edge is my favorite browser of all times, really, but not when I try to watch netflix or other video streaming services, it always breaks, I have no ideia what to do anymore. Always when I try to play something there's an error and then I need to reload over and over again, sometimes even when I just play the video it stop working when I try to play again. Help me to keep using this best browser that I've ever seen.
I've ever tried to disable hardware acceleration, enable DRM content, install Microsoft Silverlight and a lot of other things, but I didn't get to watch so far without an error I keep receiving these error codes: D7356-7701 and others related. Is there's still something that can be done to really fix theses erros or I just have to be patient and wait for news versions of the browser?
