Netflix Windows 8 App

SROSeaner · 04-04-2013, 01:19 AM

I have the following system (just purchased):

Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
Dell USB 3.0 Docking Station

I have had no luck running Netflix Windows 8 App while connected to the docking station. Originally it was giving me the 8158 error message. Again, Netflix Windows 8 app worked flawlessly not on the docking station, and even plugging VGA video or HDMI cable to laptop without issue.

After searching the DisplayLink forums, found this was a common error with the DisplayLink drivers (had 7.1 after installing my Dell docking station).

DisplayLink said they were working on a fix, and next driver would be release late March/early April. Today the new driver (version 7.2) was released.

I installed it... and sure enough the 8158 error disappeared... only to be replaced by new Netflix Windows 8 error.

"Oops, something went wrong...

System Configuration Problem

There is a problem playing video on this system. This may
be caused by any of the following:

1. Netflix is not support in virtual machines
2. New graphics drivers may be required. Please use Windows Update or your graphics card manufacturer's web site to obtain a graphics driver that is certified for Windows 8.

Specifically, the following graphics drivers are known to
cause this problem:

- Microsoft Basic Display Adapter
- Apple Boot Camp graphics drivers

If you need assistance with this problem, please call
866-579-7113

Error code: W8156-C0262500"

I have the latest graphics drivers, including today's 7.2 release from DisplayLink.

Is DisplayLink able to reproduce this scenario?? Again, this is ONLY happening when using the Dell docking station that includes DisplayLink graphics adapter.

Please help... losing patience!
