Netflix Offers to Work with Ubuntu to Bring Native Playback to All
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
**We saw [last month just how close native Netflix support for Linux is][1] to arriving, with now only a few simple steps required to enable HTML5 video streaming on Ubuntu desktops.**
|
||
|
||
Now Netflix wants to go one step further. It wants to bring true, out-of-the-box Netflix playback to all Ubuntu users. And all it requires is an update to the **Network Security** Services library.
|
||
|
||
### Netflix Natively? Neato. ###
|
||
|
||
In [an e-mail][2] sent to the Ubuntu Developer mailing list Netflix’s Paul Adolph explains the current situation:
|
||
|
||
> “Netflix will play with Chrome stable in 14.02 if NSS version 3.16.2 or greater is installed. If this version is generally installed across 14.02, Netflix would be able to make a change so users would no longer have to hack their User-Agent to play.”
|
||
|
||
While the upcoming release of Ubuntu 14.10 offers the newer [NSS v3.17][3], Ubuntu 14.04 LTS — used by the majority of users — currently offers v3.15.x.
|
||
|
||
NSS is a set of libraries that supports a range of security-enabled client and server applications, including SSL, TLS, PKCS and other security standards. Keen to enable native HTML5 Netflix for Ubuntu LTS users, Paul asks:
|
||
|
||
> “What is the process of getting a new NSS version into the update stream? Or can somebody please provide me with the right contact?”
|
||
|
||
Netflix began offering HTML5 video playback on Windows 8.1 and OS X Yosemite earlier this year, negating the need for any extra downloads or plugins. The switch has been made possible through the [Encrypted Media Extension][4] spec.
|
||
|
||
While we wait for the discussions to move forward (and hopefully solve it for all) you can still “hack” HTML5 Netflix on Ubuntu by [following our guide][5].
