    The error you're seeing is related to the Silverlight plugin, which Netflix uses to play movies and TV shows on your computer.
    This error is usually caused by one of three things:
    • A computer setting preventing Silverlight from storing files it needs to play your movie or TV show
    • An issue with the Silverlight plugin itself
    • An issue with the content you're trying to play
    To fix this error, follow the steps below for your Windows or Mac computer.
    Steps for Windows

    Use an alternate browser
    We recommend updating to a browser that supports HTML5 to ensure your computer is optimized for our web player. Please download the latest version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Opera and try Netflix again. Our web player works best on:
    • Google Chrome on Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later.
    • Mozilla Firefox on Windows Vista or later.
    • Opera on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or later.

    Steps for Mac

    Use an alternate browser
    We recommend updating to a browser that supports HTML5 to ensure your computer is optimized for our web player. Please download the latest version of Google Chrome or Opera and try Netflix again. Our web player works best on:
    • Google Chrome on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later.
    • Opera on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or later.
    Do you have Net Nanny software installed?
    Net Nanny filtering software may interfere with the player Netflix needs to play movies and TV shows.
    • Disable Net Nanny and try to play your movie or TV show again.
    Make sure your OSX account can access Netflix.com
    The Netflix.com player uses the Microsoft Silverlight plugin, which requires that your OSX account has administrative rights.
    To confirm your account rights:
    1. Select the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
    2. Select System Preferences.
    3. From the System section:
