Netflix Internet Connection Error N8156-6205

Asked by Sam Davis

I've recently installed Pipelight on Fedora 19 using Firefox. When I try to watch a video on Netflix it begins to load and then abruptly takes me to an error page saying:
Internet Connection Problem
An Internet or home network connection problem is preventing playback. Please check your internet connection and try again.
Error Code: N8156-6205
I've been able to access Netflix before on this network with Windows on a different computer so I don't think it's a network issue.

Hi,

it could have to do with the file system you're using or that you've disabled XATTR. Please take a look at the following related question (in this case XATTR was the issue):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pipelight/+bug/1216332

To check if you've xattr enabled you can use the following commandline:

touch ~/.xattr_test && setfattr -n 'user.testAttr' -v 'attribute value' ~/.xattr_test &> /dev/null; getfattr ~/.xattr_test 2>&1 | grep -q user.testAttr && echo 'It works!' || echo 'No workie!'; rm ~/.xattr_test &> /dev/null

(which requires that the package including setfattr/getfattr is installed). Depending on your file-system you probably just have to enable it.
