Hi
At the moment I've got a Windows PC running as a Netflix machine, running Firefox with a DNS plugin to get US content. The machine is use for general browsing too.
Is it possible to make a similar setup with a Raspberry Pi?

Ahem comprehension
"Uname: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic x86_64"
"Chromium is unable to use the widevine component from google chrome : libwidevinecdmadapter.so and libwidevinecdm.so"
As the 2 files are compiled for Google Chrome which only supports x86-32 & x86-64, how is relevant to ARM architecture or have I missed something

I thought Netflix had been made available on Linux through Chrome.DougieLawson wrote:You can't run netflix.

I'm aware. I read through all of all that and more. From what it sounds like to me, this method might be possible on chromium for ARM.fruitoftheloom wrote:Ahem comprehension

Re: Browser with dns plugin and Netflix
That much I've found out. That should be the reason that it's become available on Linux, since Silverlight isn't needed then.fruitoftheloom wrote:HTML5 Encrypted Media Extensions aka DRM, has to be supported

I haven't used Linux or Raspberry Pi before, so need to understand the ARM/x86 (in)compatibility thing...
