Netflix-desktop installer not working

[steve7233]

I acedently uninstalled the netflix-desktop and now I can't get it to reinstall. It keep saying 'no such file or directory' for two of the files.

[vinnywright]

use the google chrome browser ,,,,,,,it supports netflix natively now.

I don't like Google because they are several times worse than Uncle Sam when it comes to big brother type stuff. They even got caught by one Australian school profileying thhe kids Google mail accounts so they could tell venders what they like. The parents are angry so their government is suing Google. Google has more lawsuits pending against them from all over the world - many from the USA - , that if they lost them all at once Google would go bankrupt and still owe money!

Weird I had to close the tab and use the email link to open a new tab because simply reloading like the error message said didn't work. It said 'Your submission could not be posted because the token expired. please reload the window.' except that reloading didn't fix it.

Rats, just when you start thinking maybe Windows can finally be deleted something gets broken in the Linux world and you have to go back to using Window$ for something. I guess I'll have to reboot into window$ to wath turn (tv series about Washington’s spies during the revolutionary war).

When I try to run the script to get the missing part this is what happens. I have tried several times since yesterday.

some times one should just bite the bullet and use what works ,,,,,,,,,to be honest netflix is all I use google chrome for .

I also wint back to the standard flashplayer and installed zombie hal ,,,,, https://launchpad.net/~mjblenner/+ar...ubuntu/ppa-hal
so amazon prime video would work well in firefox

I just tried google chrome. I log in to Netfllix and click on a show the player tries to start playing plays about one second of the show then... 'Woops! An error occurred please reload the page to try again.' I press F5 and it does the same thing. and again and again. There is a bug report on wine about this so it seems that for now even google chrome can't play netflix streaming.

[vinnywright]

I'm watching it right now ?

oops in 14.04

Must be just some systems.

[steve7233]

Did you use mounu discover or apt-get to install? I used Mounu. I am also runing 14.10.

[steve7233]

I just noticed I am using a browser call Chromium browser and you said the Google browser. Is there a difference or did you type the wrong name? I went back to muon and selected all the addons and restarted the computer but I still get the same error message.

[steve7233]

I am going to boot Window$ so I can watch Netflix.

I see what the problem is. Munon Discover doesn’t have that browser.
