Pipelight

How to install silverlight to multiple browsers?

Asked by Andy F

I have both google-chrome-unstable (dev channel) and google-chrome installed on my computer. I am able to get silverlight working in google-chrome, but I can't get it to install for google-chrome-unstable. I guess google-chrome is set as the default browser? I tried setting google-chrome-unstable as the default by using "update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser" and "update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" but that didn't do the trick.

I can always just use google-chrome when I want to watch Netflix, but I was just wondering if it is possible to install silverlight via pipelight to more than one Chrome install at a time?

Hi,

Pipelight is by default enabled in all your browsers. The reason why it does not work in chrome unstable is that Google is going to drop support for NPAPI in Chrome 34 and the unstable channels already ships version 35. This basically means that also your normal Chrome installation is going to stop working with Pipelight as soon as Chrome 34 is released. I can't tell you an exact release date of Chrome 34 but it seems like only a couple of days are left.
