Netflix Desktop

Cannot download; cannot find package

Asked by Jp

I have added your repository using
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio

and then I updated
by sudo apt-get update,

but when I
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop,
it produces this error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package netflix-desktop

Also, when I updated, I could not get updates from your repository:
Ign http://debian.linuxmint.com testing/non-free Translation-en

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ehoover/compholio/ubuntu/dists/debian/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

the output looks like you're not using an Ubuntu based linux mint, but a Debian based. The PPA you've added only provides packages for Ubuntu.

If this is the case you can use Michael Müllers Debian PPA, which includes both Pipelight and Netflix-Desktop.
Just add the repository as described here:
http://fds-team.de/cms/articles/2013-08/pipelight-using-silverlight-in-linux-browsers.html#section_1_3

Only the last step (apt-get install ...) is different in your case, when you want to install netflix-desktop, and not pipelight.
