Hi all. I have been messing around with crunchbang for about a month now. I just tried to watch a netflix movie and it will not let me. Is there any way to do this? thanks

It's rumored that people have got netflix working by running IE in wine, but I doubt it's easy to do. Your best bet is installing windows xp in virtualbox or some other virtualization software, and this will be extremely hardware intensive.

In fact, it's not just CrunchBang or Debian that can't get Netflix support natively; the problem is that Netflix uses a DRM module in Silverlight that is not (and quite possibly never will be) available in Moonlight for Linux.

Ok thanks. I just checked my pc with Ubuntu on it and same thing. So guess I will wait.

I expect it will be a very long wait...

Cool: Netflix is PS3 compatible,
Not Cool: It is limited to US inhabitants. Not US citizen. You have to live there. I can't remember the last time my dual citizenship had actual benefits.
I'm so meta, even this acronym
