Chromebook only: Netflix woes

I love films and TV. At one point while at university, I had a streaming subscription to Netflix and LoveFilm and would also buy DVDs whenever the feeling struck. Which was quite often. Watching movies and TV shows, then reviewing them when my busy schedule allows, is kinda my thing.

Imagine my disappointment, then, when I couldn’t watch Netflix on my shiny new Chromebook. The video launcher opened as per usual, practically teasing me with what I could’ve been watching, before abruptly closing down and displaying the following message:

Chromebook: Netflix error message

Apparently this issue is being worked on by the head honchos at Google and Netflix, and has already been fixed for those Chromebooks running Intel processors. My Series 3 sports an ARM chip, though, meaning that for the foreseeable future I’m shit out of luck.

Bummer. Netflix support are also being remarkably unhelpful, making the situation worse. Does anyone know if LoveFilm have the same problem?
