I'm using wine 1.5.27 with the netflix patches on 2 machines, a Dell
laptop with Intel GPU and a Dell desktop with Nvidia NV37GL GPU using
the proprietary nvidia-173xx driver (which is no longer maintained
afaik)
On the laptop with Intel GPU, netflix-desktop works fine (after
reverting the advapi32 GetNamedSecurit
desktop with Nvidia GPU, with all the same patches, I get a white screen
and I can only hear the audio.
I saw a separate suggestion about desktop effects, but I do not have
those enabled.
Thanks

Title:
Netflix Desktop plays audio but does not display video on certain
systems, even with compositing enabled.

Bug description:

On certain systems, Netflix Desktop plays audio but does not display
video. On some of them, this is fixed by enabling compositing, on
others, enabling compositing doesn't seem to help.
More specifically, on this bug reporter's specific system, running
Netflix Desktop in a window and then moving the window around seems to
temporarily solve the issue, though this introduces noticable lag
which seems to correct itself after a certain amount of time.
In a possibly related bug, after having this issue, resolving it
temporarily with the above, and then using it for some time, Netflix
Desktop has a tendency to suddenly lock up and become unresponsive to
input, necessitating being killed either by Ctrl+C in the terminal it
was started from or, if it wasn't started in a terminal, finding the
process and killing it.
Audio never seems to be affected.
Debug log will be attached in a reply later as I (the bug reporter) do
not currently have access to the system affected, someone is watching
Hulu on it :P
