Hey guys! I just got Netflix for my RMBP and every time I try and watch a movie it will not load and have a black screen! I have tried reinstalling silverlight and the same problem continues.

What else should I do?
 
I have had the same and similar problems with netflix. I solve the problem every time by resetting safari then reinstalling silverlight, the mac version is crap shame their isn't an alternative.

Resetting Safari?
 
Resetting Safari?
At the top, Safari > Reset Safari and I usually leave the bottom 4 boxes unticked. Also make sure silverlight is defo gone, I remove the plugin by searching silverlight in spotlight it should be called silverlight.plugin with a little brink next to it.
 
Click on the Silverlight word in the center of the screen then it'll start loading. I use Firefox works great.

You've clearly never used the PS3 or iPhone alternative...they're much, much worse.

I have always had more success in Firefox than in Safari when it comes to Netflix. It's about the only thing that works better for me there.
