[mythtv-users] Toggling compositing

[Jason Hiller]

Actually there is a Netflix app.  See below.  It is a packaging of Firefox running in Wine.  I use it and it works quite well.

Netflix app?  TTBOMK, there is no application that allows the use of Netflix and its DRM'ed video in GNU/Linux.  Are you doing something crazy like using the Android Netflix app in an emulator?

If so, I'd highly suggest a better Netflix solution--like dual-booting with Windows or using a Roku/PS3/Wii/XBox 360 + XBox Live/"Smart" TV/DVD or BluRay player or, well, basically anything that's actually supported by Netflix.  And I /do/ realize that it's not the ideal solution for a GNU/Linux user, so don't tell me--tell Netflix.
