Silverlight Permissions

Hi,

to change the registry you can run (I assume you're using Ubuntu, otherwise the path might be slightly different):
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-pipelight /opt/wine-compholio/bin/wine regedit

Afterwards you can navigate to the registry key and enter the value there, similar as on Windows.

Please note that Pipelight also offers its own function "Stay in fullscreen" when right clicking on the Silverlight application. Just select this option, and it should have the same effect.

Conerning BT Sports in general: please note that it only works with SIlverlight5.0, not with 5.1. You can switch with:
sudo pipelight-plugin --disable silverlight5.1 --enable silverlight5.0
Moreover there seems to be some problem which requires you to delete the DRM files in some cases. Take a look at this bug report for more information:

Hi,

I know BT Sport has many issues but I have it working fine with Silverlight 5.1 on all my Windows machines

Very time I have added this reg entry I get it working.

If I don't, it doesn't. Don't ask me why, I put it up on a BT FAQ site and got almost laughed at. but all I was doing was making my observations available.

My only query is that this entry uses a Directory that does not exist .

I will look at this issue and let you know.

Hi,

I know that Silverlight somtimes behave unusually, nevertheless I think that the problem is most likely caused by the Silverlight version, not this registry key.

Even when it works with SIlverlight 5.1 on Windows, this doesn't mean it will behave the same way with Pipelight. Microsoft has changed their DRM system between these two versions, especially how a "default" protection is handled. Everything got a bit more strict with Silverlight 5.1, thats why downgrading the version can often help in case of DRM problems (if this is the reason for your problems).

Let us know if you find our more.

Ok, thanks for the heads up I will play and find what works best.

Hi,

Yep, only works with 5.1 but at the moment not having to delete the .hds file

have stop and started Firefox

Will continue to play

how do I tel the version of Pipeline ?

Thanks

Hi,

I think you mean 5.0, not 5.1, otherwise it would be a bit surprising. All reports so far were telling that BT Sports only works with 5.0.

Do you mean how to get the version of Pipelight, or of Silverlight?

Version of Pipelight:
* either just right-click on any Silverlight application, then you should see the version number there.
* alternatively you can also copy&paste the following into a terminal, which should show all relevant version numbers:
dpkg --list | grep "\(wine-.*-installer\|wine-compholio\|pipelight\)" | sed 's/ \+ /\t/g' | cut -f2-3;

Version of Silverlight:
pipelight-plugin --list-enabled
sudo pipelight-plugin --list-enabled
Please note that both commands will return a different output, the first only the user-specific plugins, the second one all the global enabled plugins. Moreover please note that Silverlight5.0 has some tweaks included, and will provide a WRONG version number in about:plugins - the purpose of this is that specific pages don't allow you to use an old Silverlight version, although it works theoretically. Even with silverlight5.0 enabled it should look like you've the latest version in about:plugins (only the filename is different).
