Hi, try install Netflix-Desktop, I packed it ;)
32 bits
yum -y install http://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/files/fedora/releases/19/i386/updates/wine-silverligh-1.6-3.fc19.i686.rpm
yum -y install http://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/files/fedora/releases/19/i386/updates/netflix-desktop-0.7.0-7.fc19.noarch.rpm

yum -y install http://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/files/fedora/releases/19/x86_64/updates/wine-silverligh-1.6-3.fc19.x86_64.rpm
yum -y install http://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/files/fedora/releases/19/x86_64/updates/netflix-desktop-0.7.0-7.fc19.noarch.rpm
Netflix don't play because silverligh 5 is requerided
from a terminal...
rm -rf $HOME/.netflix-desktop
Disable the auto-updater:
1) right-click on the Silverlight plugin once you've launched a movie (or anything that uses Silverlight)
2) choose "Silverlight" (the only option)
3) click the "Updates" tab
4) choose "Never check for updates"
5) click "OK"
NEXT
press F11 to get into window mode. Then press F10. Go to Options/Preferences ->Advanced-> updates, then disable the automatic browser update.
Netflix Desktop depends thereof Erich Hoover patches, therefore presents the same problems.
In short: You can't. Yet. Unless you install Windows inside a virtual machine on your Fedora box.
I followed How to install Netflix on Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Fedora and it works. Note: it works on a real dedicated box, but it does not work on virtualbox.

Microsoft claims .NET is going opensource, what about SilverLight [closed]
I tried this and it installs fine, but as soon as I click on a movie to play it my computer restarts. Is there anything I can do to find a crash report? Anyone else getting this Fedora 19 x86_64
Since it's a third party repository, please get in touch with @davidva personally and he may be able to help you.
@maramyfriend netflix-desktop uses wine, a comun bug is about video card drivers (generally Ati) also some Intel's ati/nvidia hybrid card. https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop
