Netflix Silverlight Late 2009 2.53 Intel - N8151 DRM Errors

I am so frustrated with Silverlight install. I have tried everything I can dig up to get Netflix to stream on my Mini. Followed all trouble shooting steps and still getting N8151 Error DRM.

I have the exact error on both Safari and Firefox. Install completes all steps without error, but always gives Error N8151 DRM messages and provides a link to steps to resolve. I've tried them all multiple times along with other obscure steps I have found doing searches.

Anyone have any ideas? If I can provide ANY info to help me get this resolved please let me know.

About to cancel Netflix...

10.10.5

Thanks.

Use safari or chrome-netflix switched to html5 for those browsers.

Only other solution I saw was to mess with permissions of a folder for Silverlight.

In safari, turn off the Silverlight plug-in.

In safari, go under preferences, security.

Select plug-ins settings.

Unchecked Silverlight.

You don't need to use it.

OK, problem solved with the help from a comment below.

I went to Safari/Preferences/Security/Internet Plug-Ins/Website Settings

I first selected "Run in Unsafe Mode, then cleared data/cookies for the browser, then selected Always Allow. These steps resolved this issue.

Thanks to all who replied because it got me started on the path to the correct answer.

Thanks
