CentOS 8 Comments

Now that netflix is in Australia, I wouldn’t mind giving it a burl. It’s working fine on my fedora-21 lappy with chrome-40 but not on our CentOS-6
mythtv setup even with chrome-41. I understand the difference might be the version of NSS – fedora-21 has 3.17 while CentOS is stuck at 3.16. Other than that, I’m flumoxed.

Anyone got netflix running on CentOS-6?

Cheers

Bob

  • I doubt it. As you say, the NSS version is the blocker. Maybe that number will get bumped in a future 6.x release.

    Maybe. CentOS-7 would probably do the job but this machine is 32-bit so it’s a non-starter AFAIK.

  • There was some talk on this list of a 32-bit build of CentOS 7, but nothing has come of it yet.

  • The Ubuntu or Mint distos are probably the least painful path to facebook/chrome on 32 bit hardware.

  • For the record … using the latest Google Chrome on CentOS-7.1503 (our
    7.1 release in testing right now), allows Netflix to play just fine on CentOS-7. What I have installed when I tested it:

    nss-3.16.2.3-5.el7.i686
    nss-3.16.2.3-5.el7.x86_64
    google-chrome-stable-41.0.2272.101-1.x86_64 (from google)

    That obviously does not work on 32 bit .. it does work inside a docker container containing CentOS-7 on CentOS-6 though. No need to use Debian or Ubuntu in the Docker container :)

    Thanks, Johnny Hughes

    After double checking with yum update and a reboot, I’m still locked out of netflix with the infamous M7063-1913 message.

    I have:
    nss-3.16.2.3-3.el6_6.i686
    google-chrome-stable-41.0.2272.101-1.i386

    which is the same upstream version of nss as Johnny’s. Maybe it’s something other than nss???

    docker isn’t a solution for me as it’s 64-bit only.
