Downloadable Film and Series? Netflix

[Totally]

I can't find te Netflix App in the "Discover' tab. Is that normal? How can I download the app?

How can I download movies/series from Netflix on my Steam Deck?

It's Linux.

There isn't a Netflix app for Linux.

You also can't download from Netflix without a piracy tool.

Use firefox ( enable drm in firefox options )

Is there a Netflix desktop app for Linux?

At some point you can install an app for Netflix. This unofficial tool was actually a Windows application and was bundled with Wine. This doesn't work anymore, but you can create a desktop app on Linux using Chrome's "Add to Desktop" feature.

Open Google Chrome.
go to netflix.com
Login to your account
Click on the Chrome menu button (three dots at the top right of the Chrome browser)
Select More Tools > Add to Desktop.
In the dialog box, click Add.
Select Open as window.
Click OK to confirm.
You should now have a desktop shortcut. Open steam and add a non-steam game, select the chrome icon you just created. now you can use it from the gamemode.

Enjoy.

Just why? Just use your phone for that

theres a unofficial "desktop app" for watching netflix, hulu and youtube. i use it, because its more convenient than launching a browser, and to keep less windows open. it also consumes a little less ram.

if you can install snaps in the steam deck, you should search "electron player", or download the appimage file which you dont need to install, but can "integrate" to your system, to save your settings. if you try the appimage version, the other advantage is that even if its a big heavier, you dont need to place the file in your internal drive: you can also launch it from an external one, which can help you save space and avoiding issues from saturating the internal drive.

option A

sudo snap install electronplayer

option B

appimage version
https://github.com/oscartbeaumont/ElectronPlayer/releases/

to activate this one, you will need to right click the file, and in properties choose "make executable". after that, you can use it, and "integrate it" or not to your os.

Just about everything runs in a chrome tab these days. What is the benefit of a separate app?

You aren't using the bloatware that is chrome.

With electron apps you are effectively running a chrome browser from an executable. Appimage apps are nice though as they don't need sudo to install.
