Has anyone seen the Netflix DRM error described below? If so, is there a way around it?

To attempt to solve the problem of viewing Netflix on Ubuntu, I have created a virtual machine running Windows 7. This approach has been suggested in the answers to Is there a way to stream Netflix? and can be seen working in this video.

I am running Ubuntu 12.10, VirtualBox 14.1.18, Windows 7, and Firefox 16.0.2. I am able to login to Netflix, select a show to watch, and see the show start to load, but then I get the following error.

enter image description here

Solution

The solution is on the link provided by bford16.

Remove/rename the mspr.hds file.

Windows 7 location:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\PlayReady\mspr.hds

Windows XP location:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\PlayReady\mspr.hds
