From few days I have access to UPC’s www.horizon.tv platform - until now it was useless on Linux. But there is Pipelight that will use Wine to emulate Silverlight on Linux and it’s working pretty well - you’re just few commands away from achieving that:
# stop browser
killall firefox
# remove old version if you have it
sudo apt-get remove pipelight
Now configure repos and install packages:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin --update
Enable plugin (run it with sudo
for system wide installation):
pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
Start Firefox and test if plugin is working here: http://bubblemark.com/silverlight2.html
Now enter www.horizon.tv and try it yourself.
P.S. It works only on Firefox because Chrome do not support NPAPI plugins anymore 😃
