I can't get netflix to work on a Macbook Air due to a problem with Silverlight.

I get an error telling me to uninstall and re-install Silverlight, which doesn't fix the problem.

This issue makes me very angry at Microsoft and at Netflix for using them. Pity there's no linux support at all :(

I ran into the same problem. It requires deleting a file. Google for that error code and you'll find the fix.

HD > Library > Application Support > Microsoft > PlayReady > mspr.hds

Just delete the file. Fixes the problem.

Thank you I think I'd tried this before but given up once seeing no "Library" folder. Now I see it's just hidden in Lion! (I'm doing this on my gf's computer so I'm not too familiar with macs... about to get one for work so a good time to get used to it!)
