I had the flash setting on recommended already, but then added [*.]netflix.com as an exception. Now Netflix works smoothly in Opera. There was no need to install silverlight.

There is another work around as well, in an on-going thread, here's the link:

None of this was happening 6 months ago.

So far, installing silverlight is the only workaround i found which makes it possible to watch netflix in Opera. At least with windows. Don't know if it works with mac the same way.

If I try viewing Netflix with Safari it pops up with a message like in the attachment, saying that Silverlight is needed, but that doesn't happen with Opera. Chrome just works with nothing else required.
