However, last week, my wife asked me how difficult it would be to find a Netflix movie that she really wanted to watch. I thought that the easiest way to get the movie was to start a Netflix trial either on the blu-ray or on the Playstation.
I remembered that the blu-ray required a wired connection and we did not have the internet cable, so it was out. I opened the account on the PS4 system instead and then she could happily watch her film.
But I was curious. Netflix said that, besides the PS4, it could stream to tablets, Android phones, and computers. I wondered if that meant that they were also serving Linux users now. I decided to run a test on PCLinuxOS and Firefox 64.0. I entered the site and selected Coraline to watch. It was a success; the creepy adventures of the girl against the Other-mother displayed on my Linux laptop without any problem. I need to see if the site works on Mageia, OpenMandriva and Elive and Fedora, the other Linux distros I use the most.Since last week, both my wife and daughter have been enjoying Netflix films and series. I have also caught one or two old movies that I wanted to re-watch.
UPDATES:
 |
| Netflix runs fine on Mageia 6.1 with Firefox 60.3.0esr |

Glad to know. BTW, from which movie is the last picture?
