Hi,Here is a newbie question: can somebody tell which OPI distributions would have support for Netflix?I know that Netflix should work with HTML5 browsers but, so far, the browsers (Chromiun and Firefox) crashed in all Linux-based distrbiutions I tried.

Many thanks.

As far as I know Netflix works with Kodi.
I would try openELEC or RetOrangePI images and install the Netflix add-on ;)
You find the openELEC here:

And the RetrOrangePI here:

Thank you, Tina. Excuse me, can you please provide more info on the Netflix add-on for OpenElec?
I was sure there is no Netflix add-on for Kodi and I'd be very interested to test this.

I have no Netflix but googled it ;)
You get:
e.g.

and

Hmm, I knew Android Netflix but what it essentially does is that it will attempt to open the browser and redirect you to the movie link in Netflix website... The other addons fail due to Netflix changes in the way they handle the encryption.
I'll keep on digging.
