Well, although bug #1089976 seems to be solved, albeit haphazardly, I must now join in on this one. It worked flawlessly on a freshly-installed simplymepis system until I upgraded the rest of the system packages. Or, it could be that I stupidly decided out of curiosity to check what version of Firefox netflix-desktop was running, forgetting that Firefox delights in starting an upgrade from that window the moment you open it. So, I had upgraded on accident to 17.0.1. As I said, however, both the os upgrade and the netflix-desktop browser upgrade happened at roughly the same time.

I've deleted ~/.netflix-desktop; I've uninstalled it as well as wine-compholio, and tried purging and reinstalling both. But unfortunately I'm at a black screen. Audio is still perfect, just no video unfortunately.

Oh! I almost forgot. I had to disable the fullscreen addon now as well. Before the upgrades it worked perfectly as well (nifty addon I must say!) but this evening when I clicked on a title to watch in netflix, it would freeze momentarily, then completely crashed the KDE/xserver. I was able to repeat this multiple times, but discovered if I disabled that addon it then proceeded to the black screen. I don't know if that gives you any clues but I thought I should mention it.

Thanks for attacking this like you have.. you're a hero at my house!
