I thought it would be fun to put Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit on my PC, I have been told Netflix would work on 64-bit, bit it didn't. I checked terminal, long story short with 64-bit was I don't know what foreign architecture support and I don't know how to use it. I dual operated it with Ubuntu 13.04 32-bit and got the Netflix desktop app and now I need Microsoft silverlight. Please help me I am at my witts end. I need to know how to use netflix on Ubuntu 13.04 32 or 64 bit (terminal says i386 in foreign architecture support in 64-bit). thanks

Installing Moonlight? Extracting .crx files? describes how to install Moonlight, the open source equivalent to Silverlight, into Ubuntu.

You could try manually downloading/installing Silverlight. If you try to do so from Microsoft's website, you'll only be directed to Moonlight, which is ill-suited for Netflix. However, you can download the Windows version from HERE.

Or, you could also see what happens when you install Pipelight. Pipelight is a browser plugin, which allows you to use Netflix from within you native browser. For installation Instructions, see HERE.
