I am running Thunderbird 52.7, X86_64, under leap 42.3. I am trying to get Netflix running under opensuse. I searched the "Unofficial guide to

openSuse Leap 42.3" and found no mention of Netflix. With a Google search I found many proposed solutions, but many earlier solutions via Windows were obsoleted by time.

I can not find a Netflix app under Mozilla extensions, though there are a few other apps that enhance Netflix, with the assumption that it is running. I found one page that stated that, after a long period of time, "Linux Users Can Easily Watch Netflix On Firefox". Basically the addition of HTML5 allowed the breakthrough.

Can anybody shed light on the steps required to bring up Netflix on Leap 42.3?

What does Thunderbird have to do with this?

Historically one runs Netflix in any random browser. You seem to be looking for an application. Why?

I tried to make it clear that I do not know what I am looking for. My error was stating Thunderbird, when I meant Firefox 52.7.3. I have been chasing this for hours, made a stupid mistake, swapping Mozilla apps. I was really trying Firefox. So how is it done?

did you even try directing your browser to netflix?

Yes, received a display of different source mater. When I clicked on a suggested movie, I received: Whoops, something went wrong... Unexpected Error There was an unexpected error. Please reload the page and try again. Error code:U13010 From Netflix, If you experience the error code UI3010 on your computer, it typically points to information stored on your browser that needs to be refreshed, or to a network connectivity issue. Follow the troubleshooting steps below to resolve the issue. I don't know what to pursue here. Shockwave Flash 29.0 r0 is set to always activate. DRM is enabled in my Firefox.

Hi,

I tried different approaches to get Netflix to work with Firefox on Leap 42.3, but no luck.

no problem here, but I'm in France, may be they are some differences based on country? jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm neither using FF nor Netflix.

That said, on first hand make sure that all videos on https://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html do work. There was another one, for DRM-protected videos, but I cannot find the link ATM - maybe someone here knows/remembers.

I could see all those videos just fine but still not able to watch Netflix until I enabled DRM. And that's all I had to do. I'm running Leap-15 Beta though. Don't know about Leap-42.3.

Same. Works For Me™ in both chrome and FF, assuming I've enabled DRM and allowed all the requisite javascript sources (yeah, I run NoScript and its chrome breathren) Used to always use chrome, but oddly enough, some of the controls break there for me now, and _work_ in FF.

How/where does one "enable" DRM?

What does official version mean? Is there a way to upgrade from 52.7.3 to a later version to make sure all is consistent?

Very confusing. Everything works but Netflix.

I have 52.7.3 (64 bits) and all works as expected, including netflix jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Don't know where to go from here

as far as I remember I had nothing to do from defaults, but any previous change apply and I can't list them :-( - no flash plugin for example netflix, right now https://ncloud.zaclys.com/index.php/s/9VOyqwU7dPpsanV

how to edit a profile or anything else except within the application.

My next approach is to try a beta Leap 15 and see if it works there. Any suggestions welcome. I do not want to loose all of the adjustments I have made, so want an upgrade rather than a reinstall.

better try different browser version :-), mine is 52.7.3 (64 bits) on leap 42.3 on tv I use a cheap (chinese) android box (around $40 with remote) jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Good morning, during the weekend I tried to watch Netflix with Firefox on my Leap 15 again, and it worked fine. I know that there were many updates available - which I installed - but I can't really tell if those were required before Netflix could work, but now it does so all is good. :-) Eugen Zitat von Michael Fischer :

For those having trouble, I wonder if you're filtering javascript sources, either through an FF add-on (e.g. NoScript), or via /etc/hosts, firewall?
