[Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?
 
There is an interesting petition for making Netflix available to Linux users:

It is also unfair that the only supported browser is Internet Explorer.
That's weird, Netflix is available on firefox, through silverlight. I fully support this but I guess if we are going to make a petition, we'd better get all our facts straight.

...and Nokia has been working with Microsoft on bringing Silverlight to its products...

Yes, it is a shame that they missed that fact.

I would prefer that Netflix switch away from Silverlight, but I guess that is not likely to happen. Too bad.

Yeah, but it doesn't support the DRM stuff that netflix insists on using. So, that's a no go.

Moonlight is built on Mono, which would be a heavy port. Then, once you ported Mono and Moonlight and got them working, you'd be prompted to run the Moonlight Codecs Installer and agree to Microsoft's EULA for their proprietary codecs. Were you able to get those codecs to install somehow, they wouldn't work on an ARMEL device like the N900 as the codecs were compiled for x86. But that's okay because Moonlight doesn't support DRM, so Netflix won't stream anything to you anyway.

And even if all of that magically worked, Netflix won't stream anything to me anyway because I'm outside US. :)
