Install

Netflix-Viewer

This is a simple linux app running netflix.com in a browser. The motivation is to have a standard Netflix app that desktop users can easily access and add to favourites. Castlab fork of electron was used to avoid WVVMP issues.

npm run start

Built with electron-builder npm package

npm run dist 

Login and upload to snapcraft

snapcraft login  
snapcraft upload --release=stable dist/netflix-viewer_X.X.X_amd64.snap

Local installation using Snapcraft

Make sure you have snapcraft installed

Edit the snapcraft.yaml file and change npm install to "sudo npm install" (needed when building with default multipass)
