Netflix in f18 x64 xfce

[Joseph L. Casale]

Anyone figured out how to get netflix working on f18x64?

I have tried the netflix-desktop-0.2.2-1.fc18.noarch rpm and manually installed
silverlight with:

WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/home/jcasale/.netflix-desktop wine Silverlight.exe /q

as well as the automated installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/
ang both kill my login session when attempting to play a selection.

Thanks!

Same thing happens to me. I can run netflix-desktop from the Ubuntu PPA on
this same hardware in Debian Wheezy, but my results match yours with the
Fedora package.

What desktop are using? I was tempted to try another hoping that was the only issue.
Maybe you can save me the grief.

Thanks for the follow up,

I don't think the particular desktop environment in use at the time will
have much if any effect on the success of Netflix in Fedora. That said, I'm
running Xfce.
