Netflix / Silverlight / WINE help needed! - LXLE OS Help and Support Threads on LXLE forums

Sorry for the new thread here, but the one started by miauriel is closed:

http://lxle.net/forum/#/discussion/137/has-anyone-got-the-netflix-desktop-to-work-on-lxle/

I followed the instructions, in both Chromium and Firefox browsers. Wine downloads Silverlight 5.1 but then:

- in Chromium I get an error about the browser being unable to load the Silverlight plugin (as if it were a standard Chromium plugin?)
- in Firefox I just get a black page of sad sad emptiness

Does anybody have any further insight here?

I'm using a vintage IBM ThinkPad X40, and LXLE seems pretty great other than this Netflix issue. Thanks!

Here's a couple of links to explore:

From the sound of things, you're going to need some patience on this one.

Howdy, Stranger!
