<![CDATA[So, No Netflix?]]>Well, apparently, despite every other browser supporting Netflix, did Opera seriously just shrug their shoulders on it and say, "oh well?" Can't support the Silverlight plugin and there's no other option for playback, so you're just going to not bother to fix the issue of not being able to play video on, arguably, the most readily used video streaming service out there? Does anyone know a workaround, or should I just ditch Opera?

The release notes for that particular snapshot (http://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/2016/07/opera-developer-40-0-2288-0-update/) mention that Netflix is broken in that build. Just wait for the next build (which will probably be out today or tomorrow), or if you're really impatient, use Beta or Stable for now.

Rather odd, I would have thought that Developer would get the support first

Are you having any problems accessing Netflix?

How long is "very soon" as your intermediate period has pretty much gone well beyond intermediate at this point?

I was loving it until I too went to watch something on Netflix last night and kept getting the constant message about installing Silverlight, which I tried to do several times over with the same failed result. Your comment above explains what is happening so I guess I was hoping you could possibly provide an update on the plug-in alternative. Thanks.

Sam

The plug-in has been discontinued by Microsoft and is no longer receiving updates. More critically, it is not available to 64-bit browsers. So right now, you cannot use Netflix with Opera.

A plug-in free alternative is being worked out and we hope to be ready with it very soon. Sorry for the intermediate period where things doesn’t “just work” for you.
