I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 today and had always used the Netflix desktop and never had a problem with it. But after doing a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10, it seems like it's thinking after I click on the Netflix application (round clock-looking pointer for a couple of seconds) and then nothing happens.
I tried uninstalling the desktop app and reinstalling, but that didn't work. I'm reading that Pipelight is the best way to go? But following the instructions on this website
did not work either. But I am unsure about how to follow the last 2 instructions Update 1 and Update 2. Note: I'm not getting any error messages at all.

I was using firefox and couldn't get that to work. Tried chromium and same thing. So I downloaded Chrome and got the User Agent Switcher and switched to Windows Firefox 15 from the extension preferences and finally, Louie is playing on Netflix.

I Spent two days to finally got it working first of all you need to have wine installed if you do not open a terminal ctrl +alt +t and type:
sudo apt-get install wine then (Press enter)
rm -Rf ~/.wine-browser
Uninstall and purge netflix-desktop:
sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop
I'm assuming you've added the PPA repository, if not:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get update
Install netflix-desktop:
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
When you run netflix-desktop application. it will ask to install moonlight and wine gecko say 'yes' to both

No need for netflix desktop
Netflix works fine with chrome in ubuntu Hbo nordic and magine tv works fine with firefox if pipelight with widewine and silverlight enabled.
