No video on Mint 16
I (and several others) have been unable to get netflix-desktop (and pipelight too) to work on Mint 16 and Nvidia graphics. The problem exists on both cinnamon and mate versions of mint 16. Both netflix-desktop and pipelight work perfectly fine in Mint 15 (and all recent versions of Xubuntu too) on the same hardware and video driver.
my hardware:
MSI Z77A-GD65
Intel -i5 3570K @ 3.4 ghz
Nvidia (EVGA) GTX 660SC
8 Gigs RAM
Installation goes as expected (done many times before). When launching a video stream from netflix, sound plays but no video.
I have tried these several drivers for my Nvidia GTX 660 card: 330, 319, and Nouveau.
Using pipelight I have tried to disable hardware acceleration, and force hardware acceleration, without results. Through many attempts I have gotten these graphical results : black screen, bizarre artifacts from the previous "browse" page of netflix, and a transparent/no window at all (can see windows and desktop through netflix-desktop window).
