Has anyone had any luck with installing XBMCflicks? I tried last night with my new raspbmc setup with no luck.

netflix doesn't work on linux, so it won't work (no silverlight).

vizio IPTVs afaik are linux and they sport a netflix app.

Why is there no mention of moonlight in the wiki? even if "no, not even with moonlight".

Netflix does now work in Ubuntu using a custom WINE as of November 27, 2012:

Code:

ppa:ehoover/compholio

Code:

Simplified BSD Licence, MIT / X / Expat Licence

login to netflix, attempt to play an item, enable evil DRM content when prompted by silverlight. joy. . Now would be an excellent time to Jabber all your friends! What, luddite, no XMPP? Forsooth: http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/OTR . Cease wasting money texting via sms; upgrade to texting via xmpp with OTR.

If used do financially thank the developer:

http://netflixonlinux.chipin.com/netflix...-on-ubuntu

lest the developer , Erich Hoover, https://launchpad.net/netflix-desktop , abandon it.

instructions exist for self compiling else

Code:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop

You may now interact with other sites foolishly requiring silverlight. Wild speculation or wishful thinking has many believing PlayOn will release an alternative HTML5 client.



With a flexible license one might see Netflix on XBMC soonventually.

The Vizio client and various other clients (iOS, Android, etc) use a different video stream that doesn't require Silverlight. No one has been able to tap into this stream, but many have tried.

Wine does not work at all on the Raspberry Pi, so what you've linked to also will not work. It will work on desktop linux systems, but certainly not the Pi with its ARM processor.
