Video on Demand (VOD) in Linux

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

I can't play Netflix streaming video in Linux. Tried Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala and Fedora 12.

Yes, I know all about virtualbox, HYPER-V, XEN, VMWare, dual-booting, Wine, and Moonlight.

But I would like to be able to take full advantage of a paid Video On Demand subscription without having to buy licenses do any special configuration, or spend money on equipment or licenses.

I've contacted NetFlix to politely complain, and they politely replied that they are working on the problem.

Perhaps some more calls from the Linux community could help speed up the process.

Thank you.

If you want to take full advantage of your purchase and download the full-quality or portable version of the video (not only watch videos online) and have a Mac or Linux system, look elsewhere.

Amazon haven't created a Mac or Linux version of their Unbox video player required to download for off-line use.
They do not provide cross-platform interoperability.

They don't even provide their service outside the US.

"We have detected that you are not located within the US. Due to licensing restrictions Amazon Video on Demand customers must be located in the United States when viewing videos online."

Crap.
