Bug #: 31303 Summary: Netflix on Firefox hangs with loading bar at 0% Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: kernel32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ehoover@mines.edu CC: bunglehead@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Regression SHA1: 77ad893a7bb9797fb81a236cc3f915b5a86da4e4
I decided to test and see how far Silverlight support had gotten with a recent Wine and discovered a significant improvement (but also a regression). With Wine 1.5.9 Netflix successfully loads up to the point that it shows an error that there was a problem with the DRM, but with the latest git Netflix hangs at 0%.
