I am interested in streaming video from Neflix on a Linux machine. Is there a way to install Microsoft Silverlight, which is how the process works in Windows, or perhaps another alternative? I routinely stream using Firefox, so IE is clearly not necessary. Any ideas?
the linux equivalent for silverlight is moonlight, you need to install the
moonlight-plugin
open yast and search for it or
open a console and type
sudo zypper moonlight-plugin
but moonlight is not fully compatible to the newest versions of silverlight
so you will need a little bit of luck that the page you want to view works
with it, I do not know if moonlight can work with netflix - simply test it
> sudo zypper moonlight-plugin
of course it should be
sudo zypper in moonlight-plugin
Hi
Try the 3.0 preview (works with the Olympics)
