While important details are lacking regarding your problem, we (here at home) play it through Firefox.

NETFLIX?!? This sounds like a problem you need to take up with your cable or entertainment provider. I suggest you contact Comcast, or whoever provides your phone, TV, and internet to resolve the issue.

Hard as it may be to refrain from giving clever insulting answers here, there's plenty of sites that love that sort of thing. (Reddit comes to mind)

If the OP can play netflix on other systems and not CentOS, then it probably is not their ISP's problem.

To the OP. What browser are you using? What sort of errors do you get? Can you play other videos on say, youtube?

Firefox has made the decision to require pulse audio, I think. (There are ways around it). Have you tried Chrome? It has somethings built in to make netflix easier to use. It's not in any repos that I know of, you just download the rpm and install it with yum install <rpm-name> and yum will pull in needed dependencies.

If you haven't tried it with chrome, and don't mind installing chrome, I'd try netflix with it and see how it goes. If you do mind installing it, or have already tried with it, let us know exactly what you've done and what sort of error message you receive.

Sorry for providing such low information and thanks for standing by me. I was having a DRM issue, followed the steps from here and it's fixed now.
