Has anyone encountered the DRM error with netflix in Windows 8 and found a fix for it. I consistently get prompted to install silverlight, and am informed of its successful installation, yet like a continuous loop Im asked to install it again @ the beginning of streaming a movie.

Can you try and seeing if going to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\PlayReady and deleting mspr.hds solves your problem?

For me, I had to:

  • Close all Chrome windows (and any other browsers)

  • Check my systray and right-click any Chrome icons and click Exit

  • Delete C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\PlayReady\mspr.hds

  • Start Internet Explorer

  • Login to Netflix, attempt to play a video, get the error at 20% after a long freeze

  • Close IE

  • Delete mspr.hds again

  • Open IE and try to play again, get another error at 98%

  • Close IE and delete mspr.hds again

  • Open IE one last time and play

Then it worked, in both IE and Chrome.
