Try Pipelight
Anything wrong with pipelight from the OBS?

No idea, I didn't know it was in the OBS.
I just followed the instructions for openSUSE from the site I quoted.
Works here on 12.3 13.2 and Linux Mint 17 on two boxes.
What I've found, at least for Amazon prime and Netflix movies, is that Pipelight does in fact work. I also had to install the "user agent switcher" though. Pipelight allows you to use either the Silverlight (5.x) or Flash (16.0) plugins for windows. Amazon lets you configure your account to use the one you want. Using Silverlight on either Amazon or Netflix, I could never get better resolutions than 480p. With Flash on Amazon, I get 720p consistently. I've now watched several movies with Flash but NONE were without a few annoying stutters and or complete stops for a time. Using the smarts of the TV alone, I get 1080p and not a single stutter in any movie from Amazon or Netflix. Netflix seems to require Silverlight in your PC but since 480p is the best I can get with it, it's useless. Not sure why I can't get 1080p on the PC using Flash? It really sucks that Flash for Linux is no longer being updated. I suspect if it was there would be no stuttering in Amazon prime. Amazon, recognizes Linux Flash as being out of date and won't let you play without upgrading to 16.0 (Windows). I still cannot get Chromium to work at all, using its pepper-flash package. It would seem it would be useless for Netflix anyway because Netflix wants Silverlight? So all in all, at least for me, it's _almost_ a waste of time trying to watch Amazon or Netflix on Linux.
