Just installed Ubuntu 13.10, can't get Netflix desktop to work

I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 today and had always used the Netflix desktop and never had a problem with it. But after doing a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10, it seems like it's thinking after I click on the Netflix application (round clock-looking pointer for a couple of seconds) and then nothing happens.

I tried uninstalling the desktop app and reinstalling, but that didn't work. I'm reading that Pipelight is the best way to go? But following the instructions on this website
did not work either. But I am unsure about how to follow the last 2 instructions Update 1 and Update 2. Note: I'm not getting any error messages at all.

I Spent two days to finally got it working first of all you need to have wine installed if you do not open a terminal ctrl +alt +t
and type:

sudo apt-get install wine then (Press enter)



rm -Rf ~/.wine-browser

Uninstall and purge netflix-desktop:

sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop

I'm assuming you've added the PPA repository, if not:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio

sudo apt-get update

Install netflix-desktop:

sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop

When you run netflix-desktop application. it will ask to install moonlight and wine gecko say 'yes' to both
