   Of course this isn't the first time I've heard,
"If Linux can't do it then you don't need it." That's
why Linux has been a joke as a practical, non-geek
OS for 25 years.

   It's not the fault of Pi that streaming services
don't work, but it is a perfect job for Pi. Services
like Hoopla and Kanopy rent movies for free and
probably have more movies than Netflix. There are
also a number of ebook lending services -- all free.
Your tax dollars may be paying for that whether you
use the service or not. You can check with your
local library to see whether they subscribe. Typically
big cities subscribe to the movie services while rural
areas subscribe only to ebook services, at best.

   And it's not only Hoopla that's a problem. As you
said, Youtube works. That's about it. In my
researching this, it seems that a number of people
have been trying to get Netflix, Amazon, etc working,
with limited, usually temporary success. And as usual,
their solutions are only available to geeks who
understand that getting anything done on a Linux
system requires typing in lots of arcane incantations
that one finds on obscure webpages.
  (I've tried one such solution that uses the Widevine
libraries from ChromeOS and spoofs the browser UA,
but so far it's not working in Hoopla. Though some
people seem to have it working for Netflix.)
