Netflix load problems.
(Solved)I have been using Netflix on Mint 16 for some months, suddenly when accessing a video I get shunted to my wallpaper, no video. I can hear sound but no vision.
Tried uninstall and install 3 times. I know the system is working as I can access via my desktop machine. Any help, please? |
Are you using "netflix-desktop" or "pipelight"?
Did you happen to update your video driver or kernel lately? Are you running full screen? When you can hear the audio, trying hiting "F" to drop the screen to a window. You might also try F11. I get this problem with certain intel graphics and acceleration in netflix-desktop and with any settings using "pipelight". I have no solution, but usually I can run either windowed or fullscreen, but not both. |

Have tried full screen and F11. I did try it in Virtualbox/Win7 setup, worked, but is not convenient. Have posted this to other forums, but to date haven't found an answer. |

try using pipelite
the netflix desktop is a custom wine and custom Microsoft version of Firefox and is a bit iffy it is a hack on top of a hack and that is hacked to work on top of more hacks pipelite installs the Microsoft windows firefox plugin IN A LINUX version of firefox on a linux OS |

if you are using Gnome3
