            Bug ID: 39137
           Summary: Adobe Primetime CDM: Implement mfplat.dll
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.49
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: neffi at neffi.net
      Distribution: ---

There is a new CDM module available for (and bundled with) Firefox for Windows
(Vista or later, 32-bit only) developed by Adobe called the Primetime CDM. It
implements the necessary DRM for sites such as Netflix to function using HTML5
video, without other third-party modules such as Silverlight. Therefore, it
might be a good candidate for getting Netflix playback on non-Linux *nix such
as FreeBSD (the only other alternative would be Silverlight, which is also
currently broken, but which will be phased out eventually anyway).

If you install Firefox for Windows (version 38 or later) 32-bit version under a
wine prefix which is set to Windows Vista or later (I tested with Windows 7),
Firefox will automatically download and install this plugin when visiting a
site that requires it, such as Netflix (you may need to log in and click on a
video for this to happen).

Currently, Firefox will crash when opening a video with this plugin enabled,
with the following error:

wine: Call from 0x7b83d7a9 to unimplemented function
mfplat.dll.MFGetPluginControl, aborting

Tested using wine-staging 1.7.49 on Arch Linux and FreeBSD.
