So I got a netflix account, and Ive got a WII Disc, can I use dolphin instead of my wii? So far no, On Windows Vista running Dolphin 32, it crashes. I have dolphin on a ubuntu machine too and would be happy to provide any debugging outputs from either

Hi!
any advance in this case? I'm looking for a way to be able to instant watch Netflix on Ubuntu without a Windows VM and the Dolphin+WiiNetflix looked like a perfect solution but some early tests doesn't make me confident about this. The questions are: a) Does Dolphin already support network connectivity? b) What else is needed, beside the emulator itself and a Netflix iso/wad (Netflix DVD or Netflix Channel)? Do I need some other images of the system menus/utilities (please note: I don't have a Wii neither I want to hack one. I'm just wondering if dolphin+netflix channel/disk would be enough) thanks in advance, Jose (02-22-2011, 03:34 AM)primijos Wrote: Hi! like post the from Billiard26, dolphin emulator still does not have online capibillities but i do suggest an application called boxee if you want to view netflix on ubuntu. 02-22-2011, 04:08 AM

Of course on your linux OS unfortunately you have none since there is no silverlight DRM, but big deal- boot to vista.

The point is that I don't own a Vista/XP/Win7 license and I don't want it, anyway. I have a "mediacenter" attached to my tv. That mediacenter runs mythbuntu (a flavour of Ubuntu 10.10, Linux) and I use it to watch live tv, recordings, video files, listen to music etc.
I can browse the web with it and see the browser in my tv but Netflix won't work because you need a Windows OS with explorer and silverlight working, included the DRM libraries. In linux you can have Moonlight (a port of Silverlight from Windows to Linux) but it doesn't include the DRM part (Microsoft is not willing to license it to Linux developers other than for embedded products like Roku) That's why I was thinking about Dolphin+netflix wad as a way to watch netflix directly in my tv from within my Linux mediacenter. For the boxee part, as long as I know (I've tested it in the past), the linux application for Boxee doesn't include netflix (I suppose Microsoft is not allowing them to include it in a redistributable/decompilable application) Best, Jose 02-22-2011, 07:30 PM

linux is more like a car... there is no end in fixing things |
