Attempted Clean Install from PPA on Linux Mint.
Basically I get to the Netflix screen and then the browser just hangs. The error seems to be related to some Silverlight upgrade Netflix and/or Microsoft did to prevent Linux users from watching movies on unsupported (i.e. Windows/Macs) devices.
Can you confirm that the PPA works with the current versions of Silverlight (as of 08/2013), and whether there are some known workarounds?

I'm not seeing any new problems... Are you maybe having a problem where the browser can go anywhere except movies.netflix.com? (You can use Ctrl+L to visit other sites)
