I'd backup ~/.wine first, just to be safe.Īnother thing to look for is to see if Play on Linux can install a newer Wine that can do Silverlight in your home folder in a "wine bottle". Now Linux DOES have an open source equivalent called Moonlight, however it does not have DRM (Digital Rights Management) support which Netflix requires to run. I did get a report that the 64-bit mcr120 version on Wheezy made 4 out of 5 programs stop working, but if this was a bad luck regression, or something worse, is still TBD. The root cause for Netflix not working on Linux is Microsoft Silverlight, the viewer Netflix uses to stream the movies (Its a plugin like Flash). The mcr85 versions will work with Squeeze, the mcr110 or mcr120 with Wheezy. I'd recommend removing all the Debian wine packages, then installing the single deb with gdebi. They are single deb packages, instead of the multiple-lib version that Debian creates. Ironic that they are using an open source video to test DRM. Plus the diff I did between wine-compholio's source and vanilla wine 1.6 showed no difference. I did test Wine 1.6 on a Silverlight DRM test page, after manually installing Silverlight 4 and Win Firefox 18 (avoiding the need for netflix-desktop), and it did work. ![]()
