MorphOS Netflix Support
« on: September 09, 2013, 08:25:27 PM »
Does MorphOS run Netflix?  If so, how is the performance?

The OS seems to do most of what my wife and I would need from our primary computer, however, Netflix is the wildcard.  We do not have a television and instead watch Netflix occasionally.  I don't want to break our "TV".

Appreciated.

It uses Silverlight, so not possible on MorphOS. The project to make an open-source version of Silverlight through reverse engineering appears to be dead, so even a port of that wouldn't help.

There are some roundabout solutions that PPC Mac users have used to get Netflix, but none of them involve running it directly. It's streamed from some other source over VNC or something similar - highly impractical.


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.
