[gentoo-user] Gentoo + Moonlight

Hello mates,


I want to use moonlight, because I've reciently started using Netflix.

I did not found in portage tree... Also, I remember that it was marked to be
removed from portage... So, I wonder, is there any way to install it?
layman? ebuild?

Someone has moonlight installed and working? any problems?

Regards

Haven't tried moonlight, but AFAIK, the DRM bits you'd need aren't
available in Moonlight.

Hello Michael Mol,

Thank you for your answer.


Well... Right now, I'm using virtualbox, Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8;
with a hdmi output, but I don't like to use virtualbox just to watch movies
on netflix.

Also, this article:
http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_watch_Netflix_(Watch_Instantly)_in_Linux
mentions that, I could use moonlight to get netflix working on linux.

But, now that I would like to try moonlight; isn't in portage tree nor
gentoo wiki.

I would like to know is there is a layman or ebuild (working). I'm in ~AMD64

Regards

It lists Mono/Moonlight under the "Other methods that DON'T work"
section. Meaning you can't use it to watch Netflix. :)

There are rumors that Netflix is working on a proper Linux client, but
as of right now emulation/virtualization is the only way to do it
AFAIK.

Oh, I see... My mistake, did not read all the article neither well...

So... I might be using virtualbox if I want to watch movies on Netflix....
What a shame...

Anyway, thank you for your answer.

I use it the same way (in VMware). If this article is true, then at
least we have some hope for the future:

Apart from the debate, moonligth isn't in portage, it's a firefox plugin.
