Netflix Problem with Zorin OS 7 Ultimate

Hi gang,

I have been trying to get Netflix to work but so far I am not successful.
I used the sticky and followed the directions, opened a terminal and wrote the three lines of code. It looked as though everything was accepted at that point.

I searched the menus, but did not find a Netflix option. I went to Netflix using Google Chrome and Firefox with the same result: the choice does not play and I am directed to the Netflix recommended operating system menu. I'm thinking I need to go to Netflix via Zorin, but as I said I can't find the place on the Zorin menu. Can anyone tell me what "Unity Dash" is? That was mentioned somewhere. My setup on this computer is a dual-boot with Windows 7, so I can get Netflix by going to Windows 7, but my other computer is only 250 GB HD and it is using Zorin fully, no dual boot. I really want to get Netflix to run on that unit. Thanks.

Pipelight works in both FireFox and Google Chrome!.

Linx,

Thank you! This worked for me! Now I'm enjoying Netflix using Zorin OS 8 Educational.

This was my very first experience at using "Command Line" ... so it took me a little time to figure out; "Why isn't this thing letting me enter my password? I mean my keyboard isn't working at all!?" Then I FINALLY figured out ... it IS letting me enter my password, it just isn't showing up on screen (security feature) ... (head slap!) OH DUH!

I also used this YouTube video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfte5su5DIA It goes over all of the same steps in the link Linx suggested.

Have a great day everyone!
