cannot add repository ppa:pipelight/stable

Question

I'm trying to get NETFLIX setup on my computer, but when I type in the first command everyone says I need to do, this is what happens:

emile@ManCave:~$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable  
Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:pipelight/stable'.  
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.

Any ideas on why that would be coming up?

before adding repository have you tried. "sudo apt-get update" — RCF, Jun 15 '14 at 03:56
Is it ppa:pipelight/stable or ppa:mqchael/pipelight-daily? — , Jun 15 '14 at 05:04

Your formatting is correct, it's the server that's having the problem. This is not the only PPA affected right now, as I just answered another question that is having the same problem: Issue adding ppa's

I would suggest trying again later, or perhaps tomorrow.
