I've struggled with multimedia as well. I've just been trying to play a DVD
but not be able to get it to work. Though I think this is not a Qubes issue
so much as a Linux issue. I have an old Mac that use for this so I haven't
been highly motivated to make it work. But I'm definitely interested in what
others find as I'd like to have one computer that can solve all my needs.

I tried to find out what is best practise to use spotify/netflix/amazon
prime/... etc. with Qubes, but it seems that this is not a common
usecase.
The problem is, that I can't those apps ins a
"multimedia-windows-app-VM" as there is no sound-support for windows
within Qubes.
And unfortunately Netflix & Co don't work out of the box with Linux.
Question: How do you use Qubes with those or similar
multimedia-services?

Tidal works in Chrome which does have a Linux client so I installed chrome
and use it to listen to music.
I've started to built a multimedia App-VM, to get Spotify/Netflix etc.
working.
I've choosen to the Debian Template.
I had to run the following steps, is worth to add this to a new
documentation page "multimedia under Qubes OS"?:
- How to enjox Spotify
- How to enjox Netflix
- How to enjox Amzon Prime

How to enjoy Netflix under Qubes OS
==========================
The built in Firefox (from the Debian Template VM) was Firefox ESR 45.3.0
According to the "supported browser" list Mozilla Firefox >= 47.x is needed.
I've thereoff installed Firefox v53.0.2 according to this manual:
http://libre-software.net/how-to-install-firefox-on-ubuntu-linux-mint/
<http://libre-software.net/how-to-install-firefox-on-ubuntu-linux-mint/>
1) download firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?scene=2
direct download link:
https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/53.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-53.0.2.tar.bz2
<http://libre-software.net/how-to-install-firefox-on-ubuntu-linux-mint/>
2) unpack the downloaded file
tar -xjf firefox-53.0.2.tar.bz2
3) move the unpacked folder:
sudo mv firefox /opt/firefox53
4) Create a symlink to the new firefox version:
if you want to use the new installed firefox as "standard firefox",
rename the original link in case you want to go back to the previous version
sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old
Create a link to the new firefox version
sudo ln -s /opt/firefox53/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
5) Launch firefox and open Preferences, Content and enable "Play DRM
content"
That's it, login into Netflix and enjoy.
================================
How to enjoy Amazon Prime under Qubes OS
================================
If you have setup everything to watch netflix (see above), Amazon Prime
should also work.
Enjoy"
