Netflix works on my iphone. So iphone uses silverlight?


Nope it uses an iOS app for the DRM instead.

Maybe the change will come sooner or later (seems that silverlight will become EOL in 2021) -> http://techblog.netflix.com/2013/04/html5-video-at-netflix.html
A part form that using Netflix via Wine on Linux isn't a really nice experience since it requires a hell lot of more CPU that using it under native Windows.
I had good hope in Moonlight but since the DRM is locked to Silverlight this wont help to use it for Netflix sadly.


Netflix works perfectly well on Linux using the Pipelight plugin and doesn't take any extra CPU power than on Windows.

Working at Netflix I can tell you that only the latest and greatest of the browsers will support the new and upcoming HTML5 version of the player. Currently the site uses Silverlight as another member mentioned.

This is also not by Netflix's choice but rather by the DRM happy in Hollywood.


Isn't Netflix HTML5 version actually HTML5+Proprietary MS DRM crap that only works with IE11?

We currently run Ubuntu and I installed a Netflix client through a PPM.  Netflix comes up fullscreened in a "Wine Browser".  Beyond the occasional Silverlight plugin upgrade there hasn't been an issue running Netflix on Ubuntu.


Use Pipelight instead, it's much better.
