For the german video streaming site SkyGo, I need Silverlight >= 4.06. I installed the most recent Moonlight plugin from http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx but this version is to old to work on that streaming site. Is there a more recent (developer) version? If so, how can I install it?

Is there any other way to get nasty closed source DRM locked down streaming sites running?

    Suggest look at this Q - should be able to play up-to-date silverlight stuff: http://askubuntu.com/questions/1488/is-there-a-way-to-stream-netflix – fossfreedom Mar 16 '13 at 12:34
  • It looks like there are others keeping an eye on the netflix method as well. https://answers.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop/+question/217365 It doesn't seem to work at the moment but could well be an eventual anwer. – Dennis Mar 16 '13 at 12:53

The Moonlight-project is dead for more than a year sadly. The famous plugin in Chrome-webbrowser seems to be also dead.

For Silverlight and using this awfull software it is better to run Windows in a Virtual Box and thus using this for your needs.

I know this isn't the answer you wanted to hear, but for using Silverlight it's better to run a Virtual Machine with Windows inside it.
