             Bug #: 31303
           Summary: Netflix on Firefox hangs with loading bar at 0%
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

    Classification: Unclassified

I decided to test and see how far Silverlight support had gotten with a recent
Wine and discovered a significant improvement (but also a regression).  With
Wine 1.5.9 Netflix successfully loads up to the point that it shows an error
that there was a problem with the DRM, but with the latest git Netflix hangs at
0%.

Steps to reproduce:
0) Create a new Wine prefix and do not install Mono
1) Download the latest version of winetricks:
wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks;
chmod +x winetricks
2) Install .NET 2.0 with winetricks:
./winetricks dotnet20
3) Download and install the latest Windows version of Firefox:
wget -O Firefox-14.0.1.exe
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-14.0.1-funnelcake13&os=win&lang=en-US;
wine Firefox-14.0.1.exe
4) Launch Firefox and login to Netflix
5) Attempt to play a movie/show
6) Click the "Install Now" button to download the Firefox Silverlight plugin
7) Click "Save File" to save the Silverlight installer
8) Double click the "Silverlight.exe" file in the download window and click
"Ok"
9) Click "Install now"
10) Uncheck "Enable Microsoft Update" and click "Next>" and then click "Close"
11) Exit and relaunch Firefox and then return to Netflix
12) Attempt to play a movie/show
