Download the app, get a "not available: your device is running a custom ROM".
Open on Linux in Firefox, get 360p max.
Can't deal with bad network conditions such as frackin' Unitymedia where the connection is slow and resets all the time.
In the end, I pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime, but pirate the movies that are on Netflix anyway.
- vfq 8y agoPractically nobody runs a custom ROM or Linux in the desktop, and if you do, that's a self-inflicted wound.

- Freak_NL 8y agoHow dare we run an operating system of our own choosing, or expect control over our own hardware. Why can't we just submit to using a sensible proprietary operating system on our most personal devices? DRM hurts honest consumers and doesn't prevent piracy — at all. So why are we being pushed to accept this level of outside control over our computing devices?
- vfq 8y agoHe can run whatever OS he wants and have whatever kind of control he wants over his own hardware. Just don't expect to watch Netflix in HD.
- m45t3r 8y agoI am not running a custom ROM in my smartphone, it is a fairly popular device (Xiaomi Mi A2) and I still can't get high quality streams on Netflix because my device only has Widevine L3. Meanwhile I can get high quality streams in an anime streaming service called Crunchyroll in all my devices (including every browser in any OS I want), most because they don't care about DRM. : It is interesting that for default they still require Flash for viewing video browsers (they have a HTML5 video player in beta, though). To think that HTML5 reduced our freedom compared to Flash is ironic, to say at least.
