Looks like no Linux support at this time, or yet. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm#w_supported-platforms

Any news about this? I try to search about it, and what I find looks grim.

firefox 49 released support for EME in linux, so netflix should work on linux after enabling the DRM support in the options.

Yey, i'm unable to have it running... with the DRM option enable, nothing happen, netflix asks to download the windows silverlight...

Changing the firefox user-agent to chrome on linux, i get:

unexpected error (and some more trash) Error code: M7363-1260

Searching, i find no real reference if it really working or not and how to put it to work.

So have anybody manage to put netflix working in firefox with the new EME support? if yes, how?

Thanks higuita

Try user agent firefox on windows

No, didn't work. I tested all windows browsers user-agents and none worked. IE/edge game no error, but didn't load (probably trying to load silverlight directly?)

i also tested if EME was working and using this url:

https://msedgeportal.trafficmanager.net/en-us/microsoft-edge/testdrive/demos/eme/

and i was able to see at least some (but not all) of the DRM/EME protected movies. On the url

http://bitmovin.com/mpeg-dash-hls-drm-test-player/

if fails with:

DRM: License request failed with HTTP status 0:

Even stranger is if i disable DRM on this url, the video plays, where in the previous url if asks to enable DRM

anyway, right now i still do not know if the netflix not working is a netflix problem, firefox problem or my machine problem.

found the problem/solution!!

I had to change the current user-agent for chrome in linux to

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.34 Safari/537.36

The add-on i used to change the user-agent was:

http://mybrowseraddon.com/useragent-switcher.html

but it seems to use a older "chrome version" that netflix do not like.

updating the Chrome version to 53, netflix started to work.

Now that i know that firefox works, time to start nagging netflix to accept firefox user-agent
