There is a person on the Cubieboard forum trying to get Netflix working with ubuntu with not much success (with ubuntu). So I thought I would search the Centos list about Netflix support, and see that Johnny Hughes had it working back in March on x64 with:
nss-3.16.2.3-5.el7.i686 nss-3.16.2.3-5.el7.x86_64 google-chrome-stable-41.0.2272.101-1.x86_64 (from google)
the question is can it work on armv7? I am assuming we will (have) nss, but what about google-chrome?
Just really a side issue for me. Personally I need httpd, samba 4.3, and a whole slew of mail cruft for my servers here. Also Cubieboard2 support (which should only be the C2 uboot in place of the CT uboot).

You might get Chromium to build, but it brings all of the dependencies with it (hence why it isn't included in any distro, it massively violates distro packaging policies).
The key issue is most likely going to be that due to various DRM requirements Netflix needs flash, which is bundled with x86 google-chrome. This will not exist for anything other than x86, so unless netflix provides html5 video, it's not going to happen.

OK. No TV viewing in my house, so no personal need. Just a 'nice' thing to better push the armv7 platfrom into homes.
thanks

Also worth adding that we're only targeting cli environment for the first release. There are quite a bunch of X packages, but untested (and I know that Gnome wasn't built correctly). If some people want to use X , we'll probably have to work on that later, but I think that most of the centos 7 userland users for armv7hl will be using it for small appliances, and not using X at all

I can live with that. If you do go down the X path, I have moved to Xfce from Gnome. It works nicely on F23-arm.
