Recently my girlfriend’s new mac book had an “Netflix digital rights management error n8156-6013″ when using chrome, latest version of both chrome and silver light.
The solution took less time than how long I looked for an answer (figures right?) so I decided to make a post to help other people having the same problem.
I also read that it helps to uninstall and re-install silver light, although there is an easier fix if that still does not work.
Mac Fix Instructions
Basically you need to navigate to
/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/PlayReady
once you are there you will should see a file called “mspr.hds”, delete it and restart the browser. Netflix should run just as it was before.
Windows XP Instructions
Navigate to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\PlayReady
once you are there you will should see a file called “mspr.hds”, delete it and restart the browser. Netflix should run just as it was before.
I just wanted to thank you VERY, VERY much for sharing the fix with Netflix error n8156-6013. I deleted and reinstalled Silverfast multiple times – nothing worked until I came upon your page with the solution. Kudos to you!
