Hi folks,
I am (almost) tearing my hair out trying to get silverlight to work on sky go. It stops on “loading plugin” and aborting will give a crash report.
So what have I tried.
Loaded pipelight from repository:- check
set pipelight to version 5.0:- check
tested with bouncing balls:- working
tested with silverlight DRM test:-working
have user agent overrider set to windows firefox 29:- check
What can I try next?
any help would be greatly appreciated

It would be helpful if you told us some info about your system - like the
version of openSUSE and which repository you installed pipelight from.

Hi,
OS is Linux 3.11.10-21-desktop openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64)
repository is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rbos:/pipelight/openSUSE_13.1/
Is there anything else I can give to help?

For those who don’t know, a URL to “sky go” might be useful.

I’m guessing that’s a UK-only accessible site - I see the same thing in
Firefox and Chrome - I would expect current Chrome to not recognize
pipelight as installed, because it used the nsplugin architecture, and
Chrome doesn’t use that as an option any more.
Which browser are you using?

Hi Jim,
Im using firefox but spoofing it as windows/firefox v29 using “User agent overrider”.
Sorry Sky go is a UK/NI only site from SKY. I will try to see if Netflix works (I see if I can borrow an account) that might give a clue
Thanks

I can tell you that I have used Netflix in the past - Firefox spoofing as
the version you indicate that you’re spoofing as.
However, I just tried it now and it’s again not working. 
After running into that, I reinstalled from the repository at http://
download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ecsos:/pipelight/openSUSE_13.1/
(make sure you’ve not got a shortened URL here, but the full URL - if
it’s a tinyurl, follow the link to get the full URL and add it as a
repository).
Once I activated Silverlight in Firefox (with the spoofing in place), the
Sky site actually is working for me. 
Netflix, however, is throwing some sort of DRM error.

OK,
I just tried that link with no spoofing in Fx 32 & it WFM.
Also I have
Loaded pipelight from repository:- check
set pipelight to version 5.0:- check
tested with bouncing balls:- working
tested with silverlight DRM test:-working
Here’s what I did different in additon to using Fx 32 unspoofed.
When I saw the loading plugin I clicked on it. I was then asked if I wanted to allow this plugin. I then clicked yes to allow. Works! BTW Thanks for showing me a new newsource!
Another item to consider in Fx is this:
If you have then Menubar in Fx go to Tools>Addons Select Plugins Select the Silver light to Always Activate.
Just in case to get the Menubar rclick the Hamburger & check the Menubar.
Thanks Jim,
I have finally got it working.
I read more carefully the information from the repository that redirected me to another pipelight repository
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/DarkPlayer:/Pipelight/openSUSE_13.1/
installing that version worked
Robert
