Sometimes this type of stuff bothers me while using Linux. On Linux, we are always swimming against the tide and having to find our ways to circumvent incompatible stuff (or waiting on the goodwill of software/tech companies).
Still getting "Error Code: M7063-1913" loading a video. I'm told that this could be because I've also got pipelight installed.
As you found out (reading your later posts) it was the nss update which made the difference. I had wine-pipelight on Slackware 14.1 per the instructions at the site below and later installed google-chrome and upgraded the mozilla-nss and both will work on my system so there is no conflict. I had the same Netflix error code before installing the updated nss.
this forum would come through. I'd gotten most of the non-slackware specific search results, and I think the nss upgrade and the 4755 chmod were the only things that didn't pop up for me. but that definitely did the trick, thanks all!
I opened a Netflix account this weekend to test, and it kept asking me to install SilverLight.
Thanks to a tip from Pat Volkerding who has it working, I modified the Chrome version in the spoofed UserAgent string from "37.0.2062.94" to "38.0.2125.24" and then the HTML5 player started working!
The side effect was that many of the icons and bitmaps in the Netflix pages suddenly were no longer displayed. An update of Chrome to the latest Beta release (38 something) fixed that too.

You both getting stuttering, or did that stop? (None, here.)
Works fine on my laptop with Intel graphics... so I am leaning towards the opinion that the Jack audio server on my desktop machine may somehow influence the video playback.

Would stand to reason. I generally use Jack on my laptop when I'm doing real time audio stuff. Watching Netflix during your own piece is kind of frowned upon.
