Netflix Implementation

Looks like the netflix nut was cracked: http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/netflix-on-ubuntu-is-here.html

Will there be any plans to build this solution into a CrossTie?

Came here to ask the same. Looks like it took 5 patches to the latest (git) version of wine to get it working. Maybe the CrossOver people can help get those patches pushed through to mainline wine and/or a custom version of wine in a new CrossOver release?

Same here. Really exciting stuff. Would love it if there was an install package.

I was instead thinking of building a method for Netflix (and other Android Apps) using Android for TV in a User Mode Linux isolation context. However, the learning curve to complete this project would be a little on the steep side, and this has prevented me from taking it on.

On the other hand, using Wine has always been a consideration, but Microsoft's tight controls on Silverlight have always been an issue, as it often will not run if it even detects the presence of Wine.
