Petion to Netflix to make their player Linux frendly

[steve7233]

Here is a copy of an email to help get my petition on change.org going.



Hello!

I've started the petition "Netflix: Make your computer player compatible with Linux I use Ubuntu." and need your help to get it off the ground.

Will you take 30 seconds to sign it right now? Here's the link:

Here's why it's important:

Many Ubuntu Linux and other Linux users have stated that they would like to be able to play shows and movies from their computers like windows users can. I have to use my playstation 4 to play the videos but I can do everthing else on the netflix web site. I belive Playstation 4 uses a custom version of linux so this request shoud not be difficult to do.

I thought making a petion here would have better results than asking Netflix customer support. This site seems to be making a lot of positive changes. It is a lot easier to find shows and movies on the computer than on The Playstation. I don't use Netflix on my Xbox 360 due to Microsoft requiering an expensive Gold account.

If this petion succeeds then Netflix will get a lot easier for us Linux users to use.

Thanks!

I believe Netflix is moving to html5 very soon. In the meantime, you can always install pipelight.

It doesn’t work.

I found a link on that site to the Linux desktop. I installed the Linux desktop, I also discovered you need to use a user agent switcher to tell Fire Fox to report that it is Internet explorer 8 or above. Unfortunately the audio is choppy and within seconds the audio lags far behind the video.I will stick to using my PS 4 and continue the petition on change.org . Please click on the above link and sign it. Thanks.
