HTML 5 Netflix on Chromium

I was wondering if it's possible to use the HTML 5 DRM from Chrome on Chromium similar to how we can use Pepper Flash. I tried copying the two widevine.so files I saw in my Chrome directory over to my Chromium directory but, unlike in Chrome, Chromium didn't recognize the Widevine plugin in about://plugins. The reason I'm asking is I just solved an annoying bug with the menu colors and got it merged upstream but I'm not sure when the patch will make it to a Chrome build. Of course with Chromium, I can just apply the patch myself to the Chromium ABS so I would like to get rid of Chrome and just use Chromium for everything (including Netflix) if possible.

Hi, You can try on chromium changing your string to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2114.2 Safari/537.36, If it does not work I don't think chromium has the DRM plugins you want (and I am unsure if you can get them)
If you can use google chrome chances are you can follow http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/08/netf … rt-plugins for the most part

Chromium keeps asking to be set as default (default option wont stick)

Chromium keeps showing that little orange bar every time I start it up and it asks to be set as the default browser, which I keep clicking on. It doesnt remember that Ive told it to be the default browser.
I have tried removing .config/chromium and .cache/chromium

The option in gnome shows that chromium is default, none of the other threads I have found help me.

Hi
If you are looking at having the print checkbox selected automatically when you goto MIGO, set the parameter ID NDR in your user master record as X.

Netflix/Apple TV should have a "resume play" option...let's make it happen!

Netflix's Roku Box is cheaper and has a "resume playback" button which holds your place when you watch a movie and want to revisit at a later time. With apple tv, you have to start allllll the way from the beginning and fast forward to where you left off (if you even remember where you left off). I am beginning to regret buying apple tv and think the apple team should update the software to include a resume play option so that it holds your place where you left off.
If anyone else agrees, let's tell the feedback peeps we want it added, otherwise why not just buy a cheaper roku box??!!!

Netflix on Apple TV definitively has resume playback option. Actually the same "resume playing / start from beginning" than the renting from iTunes store on the Apple TV. Don't know why you haven't seen it.

Will Reader and Acrobat stop working inside Chrome when google blocks NPAPI extensions

Google chrome developers are making two changes to help stop malicious plugins: one is to only allow extensions downloaded from the app store, and another is to disallow NPAPI extensions altogether.
http://blog.chromium.org/2013/11/protecting-windows-users-from-malicious.html
http://blog.chromium.org/2013/09/saying-goodbye-to-our-old-friend-npapi.html
I presume the current Acrobat integration uses NPAPI - does this mean that Acrobat and Reader will soon stop working in Chrome altogether?
-- Tim

it seems to me like you're having a different problem - this shouldn't be broken at the moment (it works for me fine) and the fact that you can get it working by fiddling with the settings says to me that something else is going on with your PC. maybe you could reinstall acrobat and/or chrome?

Why can't i use full screen on netflix?

With Firefox, using my MacBook Pro (3 weeks old)I cannot go to full screen when running a movie on Netflix. It worked fine on my older MacBook Pro.The screen goes dark after 2 attempts.
However I can go to full screen on Netflix using Safari.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See:

How do I restore my bookmarks from an HTML file?

I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to restore my bookmarks from an HTML file.
This used to be accessible via "Bookmarks-> Organise Bookmarks" but the "Organise Bookmarks" menu item no longer exists so I'm stymied.
This help system seems to think that it does exist, however, so please note that on my system, it does NOT. I suspect that hundreds, thousands, or even millions of new Ubuntu 11.04 users will be facing exactly the same problem.
I don't think users will be able to help with this one unless someone knows how to restore the "Organise Bookmarks" menu item. It's the only one that will do what I want and so there's no point recommending "Show All Bookmarks" as a solution. That doesn't work.
Finally, persuading this system that I really do have a new problem that isn't covered in the FAQs was a very irritating experience. I wonder if Chrome will know what to do with my "bookmarks.html" file?

Update to my previous posting. I just installed Chromium, and it took '''LESS than 10 seconds''' to import my bookmarks. Why would I waste any more time with Firefox?? I had intended to give Firefox 4 a chance to show me what improvements had been made, but who needs the grief. Bad move guys... bad move.

Why does DW CC 2014.1 Fluid Grid load HTML file that contains Google Analytics Tracking Code script so slowly?

I exclusively work in Fluid Grid since my site is a Responsive Web Design. I'm having trouble with slow load time in DW CC 2014.1, when my file, as they all do of course, has the Google Analytics Tracking Code script.
I'm on a Windows 8.1 using a Dell Precision M3800 Laptop with Memory 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz DDR3 . Each of our site's 180 or so web pages, of course, has its Google Analytics Tracking Code script. It is placed, following Google instructions, as the last entry in the <head>. Google Analytics does not instruct to place the script in the JS Folder with an scr to it, but rather in the <head>. It takes up to one and a half or two minutes for DW CC 2014.1 to load the Google Analytics Tracking Code script . That is, the grid does not show in Live View until finally analytics.js shows up in the Document Toolbar. A minute or two can add up when every page you load takes this long. And, making new Fluid Grid pages, as is done, through the Save As command; every new page made you have to deal with the minute or two wait time since all those pages have the Google Analytics Tracking Code script. Therefore, this time component alone, assuming I'm accessing and/or making 20 pages per week (and in our business this is easily the case) the math is that I'm wasting between 17 and 35 hours per year just with DW CC 2014.1 loading the much needed Google Analytics Tracking Code script.
I have loaded HTML files that do not have the Google Analytics Tracking Code script as a test and those files load at the normal quick speed.
Therefore, the new Chromium Embedded Framework browser engine has a serious load problem when it confronts an HTML5 file with a Google Analytics Tracking Code script. Oddly, the prior DW CC 2014 version, with the old browser engine did not have this slow-load problem since I was loading these same files in that DW CC version up until October 8th or so.
I think this new browser engine is a Google platform that apparently has a problem rendering or loading a Google Analytics Tracking Code script. That makes no sense.
Anyone else had this particular slow-load problem with DW CC 2014.1?
Thanks.

Wow. That sure solved the slow-load problem, at least using your suggested snippet in a simple test HTML file.
Per Google's instructions, I pasted the snippet before the closing </head> tag. And, even in that positioning in the file; the file loaded at the speed (about one second) that it did prior to DW 2014.1.
Two questions.
Will this snippet provide the same tracking data as my current GA snippet?
Because my current GA snippet is in about 200 web pages, can I retain the old snippet in most of them and place the new snippet in my approximately 5 main web pages as well as my templates so my new pages, as well as my main pages, have the new snippet. That is, can I have both snippets (i.e. old snippet in earlier pages and new snippet in main pages and new pages to be made going forward) in my website at the same time?
Of course I would not have both the old and new snippet in a web page at the same time.
I greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can provide me on this issue and thank all of you in advance.
I've provided code for both simple test files below.

I have an iPad, gen. 2, and it says that I need to update it to download apps. I was trying to get 'Netflix' and it said I need iOS 5. I don't have a computer with me so I can't connect it to iTunes, please help?

My iPad will not update or let me download Netflix, help?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Chromium freezes while typing in the omnibar

KDE base runtime 4.8.0-1
Chromium 17.0.963.46-1
AdBlock Plus 1.2
If multiple tabs are open, typing into the omni-bar will sometimes cause chromium to freeze after a few keystrokes. Removing the ~/.config/chromium directory, thereby resetting the profile, seems to make the problem go away. But allowing the profile to sync again makes the problem show up again. So it seems to be a corrupted profile, but the directory structure under .config/chromium is massive, so I don't know what exactly is causing the issue.
Running chromium under strace shows the following at the time of the freeze:
rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {0x7f3bade5dbf0, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x7f3ba97db270}, 8) = 0
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f3bad55abd0) = 20490
wait4(20490,
If I kill -9 20490, the child process mentioned in the clone() syscall, chromium resumes and continues to function normally. Upon doing so, the strace log continues with:
[{WIFSIGNALED(s) && WTERMSIG(s) == SIGKILL}], 0, NULL) = 20490
--- {si_signo=SIGCHLD, si_code=CLD_KILLED, si_pid=20490, si_status=SIGKILL, si_utime=11, si_stime=19} (Child exited) ---
rt_sigreturn(0x11) = 20490
I suspect there is some kind of race condition involved, because the problem seems to happen less frequently when chromium is running under strace (and therefore slowed down by all the logging going on).
I am right now running on a recently-reset profile that is only syncing Passwords and Extensions. I manually imported my Bookmarks via an HTML export. I've only been using chromium for a couple of hours since that last reset, but it hasn't locked up yet.
I've looked at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129632 already, and it seems to be very similar to my situation but remains unsolved. Also, Chromium has exhibited this behavior across updates to the kernel, KDE, and Chromium itself. So I don't think it's a version-related issue that will just go away.
Can anyone make any suggestions on where to go next? I'm new to Arch Linux and KDE, so some obvious things are often Big News to me, but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. TIA for any ideas or suggestions.

I looked at the question you referenced. Do you have a large address book as 'tektite' did (over 5000)? I can give you a link to the daily version for Ubuntu if you would like to try it. (I run on Ubuntu 14.04 also).

How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?

How to detect the HTML extension window close in In-design? Does the In-design throws any event on opening/closing of extensions?
I have a HTML extension running in In-design CC 2014 version.
I want to perform some required set of actions before my extension window is closed(by clicking on the cross button on top right corner).
Does In-design throws any event for it? Or can we capture it using C++ plugin in some way?

Naah.......haven't got any event for that yet.
Although, since HTML extensions are using chromium browser, as a workaround, u can attach listener to HTML onClose event, but it won't solve any purpose if you
are looking to logout session or do some business login in your code.

Changing Audio Language in Netflix (Latin America)

Hi all,
I´m having issues with Netflix in Latin America from an Apple TV. Many movies have three languages (spanish, english and portuguese) and depending the availabitty it starts by default in spanish. I prefer english but i can´t find the way to change the audio language, I´ve found out how to change subtitules but I can´t find the way to change audio language.
I alredy tried changing the defalut audio options on the Apple Tv general seetings but that haven´t changed a thing. It seems to be a limitation on iOS devices cause I´m also experiencing the same thing on my iPhone 4.
Thanks in advance.
Mauro

Me sucede lo mismo:
Usaba Netflix en mi PS3 y cambiar el audio a otro idioma era una sencillez.
Desde que Netflix lanzó para iOS y Apple TV, he notado que es imposible cambiar el audio (en mi iPhone), solo hay opciones para subtítulos. En el Apple TV, algunas películas se reproducen por defecto en español y no puedo cambiarlas al audio en inglés.
Me gusta más la interfaz en Apple TV (y uso mi iPhone como remoto) que en PS3, por eso la molestia mía, si no, no me importara tanto.
Sugiero que todos hagamos un "feedback" a Apple y/o llamemos a Netflix Servicio al Cliente para presionar para que mejoren el servicio, es un problema nuevo porque a nosotros los latinoamericanos nos gusta más escuchar el audio en el idioma original y leer subtítulos, estamos acostumbrados a eso.

Netflix on linux via pipelight : howto

Relevant info : http://fds-team.de/cms/articles/2013-08 … wsers.html
Install this https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pipelight
one of the dependencies is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-silverlight (a patched version of wine with silverlight support) which is not the fastest compile in the world but can't be helped.
* Please ensure you close firefox before you install this package, or you might run into this issue : https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight/+faq/2357
Once you're done with this, there are two more steps that you need to do :
1) Initialize the plugin for the first time by running /usr/share/pipelight/wine-silverlight5.1.installer. You don't need to change permissions or use sudo for this. Ignore the wine warnings that pop up, just click through.
2) Change the user string of your browser as described here : https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight/+faq/2351. This is required because even though you are now capable of running netflix, netflix won't stream if it detects you are on linux.
That is all you need to do. You can verify that the plugin was installed correctly even before change user agent by visiting this page : http://bubblemark.com/sl3/TestPage.html
Enjoy !

Hi, I'm interested on this. Could someone report quality, cpu process, mem, etc? I'm working right now and cannot probe by myself. Probably I'm going to affiliate to NEtflix next week if this works as Windows version. . .
Thanks in advance

Installing google-chrome from AUR broke sound in chromium

Hi,
I installed google-chrome to watch netflix yesterday and since then, chromium sound is broken. This isn't just with flashplugin, I can't even play mp3 files from my hdd using chromium. I have since uninstalled google-chrome but that's made no difference. Any hints of where I should start with troubleshooting? I couldn't find anything on the forums or Google.

I'd try one then the other then together with first installation. Flash was broken last year I was reading somewhere. Try searching the forum.

How do I block netflix advertisement from popping up continuously.

I can't figure out how to block the annoying pop-up window ads from netflix from the address: http://cdn.optmd.com/V2/62428/198310/index.html?g=AQABUc4=&r=www.examiner.com/x-57643-LA-Environmental-News-Examiner

Netflix and Youtube will not play on Firefox but I can still hear sound and can pause with the space bar. Works fine on Internet Explorer.

All of a sudden last night after Firefox restarted after an update I am no longer able to play Netflix or Youtube. I can hear the sounds from whatever I select to play but the browser is black and I can even pause using the space bar but no interaction with the cursor. Both Netflix and Youtube work fine on Internet Explorer... I tried updating plug ins, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling plug ins and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox itself but nothing has helped. Not sure what steps to take next...

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
