How To Watch Netflix In Ubuntu 14.04 With Netflix Desktop App
================================================================================
Watching Netflix on Windows is easy. You can use the web browser or the desktop app but its not the same story in Linux. It does not work by default in Linux as Netflix requires [Microsoft Silverlight][1] and since its “the Microsoft”, it is obviously not available on Linux. So is there no way we can use Neflix in Linux? Of course, there is. In this article we shall see how to watch Netflix in Ubuntu 14.04 (and perhaps older versions such as 13.10, 13.04 etc as well).
### How to watch Netflix in Ubuntu 14.04: ###
We shall be using [Pipelight][2], a project that brings Silverlight support to Linux via [Wine][3]. The project is in beta but works quite well. Lets see how to install Pipelight in Ubuntu 14.04.
#### Install Pipelight in Ubuntu 14.04 ####
Installing Pipelight in Ubuntu 14.04 is very easy thanks to the PPA by Pipelight team. Open a terminal and run the following commands one by one:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi
Its around 450 MB of download so it may take some time if you have slow internet connection. Also, Pipelight is in beta, therefore check the installation instructions here (in case, if they change it in future).
#### Enable Sliverlight to play Netflix ####
Usually silverlight plugin should have been enabled with Pipelight by default but just to make sure, enable Silverlight using the command below:
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
There will be two conditions to accept, once you do that, it will take some more time to install Silverlight.
#### Install Netflix desktop app in Ubuntu 14.04 ####
By this time, you should be able to use Netflix in web browsers. But there is more to it from Pipelight project. The PPA which we just used, also contains Netflix desktop app for Ubuntu. To install the Netflix desktop app, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
Once installed, you can search for Netflix in Unity Dash.

At first run, it will install some Wine related stuff. Let it do that. Afterwards, it should run fine:

### Using Netflix outside USA in Ubuntu : ###
Did you notice the Netflix desktop app above? It says that Netflix is not available in my country of residence (i.e. France). I am not a Netflix fan but I have written about [how to watch Netflix outside US easily][4]. If you want to watch Netflix outside USA, you can change DNS settings for this purpose. Tunlr was a free service which was shutdown.
Alternatively, I used [Unlocator][5] while it was free in beta. Extremely easy to use and excellent was the experience. Unlocator is not free anymore but if you could spend around $5 per month, [Unlocator][5] is an excellent DNS unlocker service.

如何在Ubuntu 14.04中使用Netflix桌面应用观看Netflix
================================================================================
在Windows中观看Netflix是很容易的。你可以使用网络浏览器或者桌面程序但这在linux中并不同。这在linux中默认并不可行这是因为Netflix需要[Microsoft Silverlight][1],同时由于这是"微软"的,很明显这无法在Linux上使用。所以在Linux上就没法使用Netflix了么当然有办法。本篇中我们就会看到如何在Ubuntu 14.04上观看Netflix(或许在老版本中如13.10和13.04等也可以)。
### 如何在Ubuntu 14.04 中观看Netflix: ###
我们需要用到[Pipelight][2],一个通过[Wine][3]来在Linux上支持Silverlight的项目。这个项目仍在beta状态但是已经工作的很好了。让我们看看如何在Ubuntu 14.04上安装Pipelight。
#### 在Ubuntu 14.04 上安装Pipelight ####
要感谢Pipelight团队的PPA在Ubuntu14.04上安装Pipelight是很方便的。打开一个终端并且运行依次运行下面的命令
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi
安装包大概有450MB左右因此如果你的网络连接很慢的话可能会花费一些时间。同样Pipelight在beta状态因此到这里检查一下安装指令以防将来有什么变化
#### 启用 Sliverlight 来播放 Netflix ####
通常Pipelight已经默认启用了silverlight插件但是为了万无一失使用下面的命令启用Silverlight:
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
这里要接受两个条件一旦你做了它会花费一些时间来安装Silverlight。
#### 在 Ubuntu 14.04 中安装Netflix桌面应用 ####
此时你应该可以在web浏览器中使用Netflix了。但是Pipelight项目还提供了更多。刚才我们使用的PPA同样还有对于Ubuntu的Netflix的桌面应用使用下面的命令
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
安装完成后你可以在Unity Dash中找到Netflix。

At first run, it will install some Wine related stuff. Let it do that. Afterwards, it should run fine:
第一次启动时它会安装Wine相关的一些东西。让它自己做好了。在这之后它就会正常运行了:

### 在USA之外的Ubuntu上使用Netflix : ###
你注意到上面的Netflix桌面应用了么它说Netflix不支持我所在的国家地区(也就是说,法国)。我不是Netflix的粉丝但是我写了一篇[如何在美国之外轻松观看Netflix][4]。如果你想要在美国之外观看Netflix你需要改变DNS设置。Tunlr是一个已经关闭的免费服务。
作为替代,我使用 [Unlocator][5]在beta状态下还是免费的。很容易使用且体验良好。Unlocator现在不再免费了但是如果你愿意每月花$5[Unlocator][5]是一个很棒的DNS解锁服务器。
