I've tried installing Moonlight and failed miserably and moonlight is not actively developed.so i was hoping you guys could help me out here with another alternative.

The browser i'm currently using is google chrome, if that helps and i'm running Ubuntu 14.04. Thank you

  • Google Chrome doesn't use Silverlight anymore. I watch Netflix videos on Google Chrome without Silverlight. Why do you need Silverlight? http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2383624/google-will-kill-microsoft-silverlight-in-chrome-by-disabling-npapi-plug-in – LDC3 Apr 20 '15 at 05:40

install pipelight instead:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight
sudo pipelight-plugin --update
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight

Install pipelight instead (revisited):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin --update

Restart Firefox, Chromium or whatever... Then:

sudo pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins

To enable the plugin (in Firefox):

about:addons

or

sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
