Moonlight plug-in for Firefox or IceCat aka. "silverlight"
Moonlight plug-in for Firefox or IceCat aka. "silverlight"
I was not sure of the best place to put this thread but it seems to apply to software.
For users of Firefox or IceCat there is a plug-in available that is the Unix version of Microsoft's "Silverlight" called "Moonlight"
Just go to this page with Firefox or IceCat and click the green install button to install the plug-in;
http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/
I tried it with Seamonkey too, but it did not work.
I have heard it also works with Opera, but I have not tried it.

silverlight is written in Mono, a library that mimics Microsofts ".net".

Mono might rely on several Gnome libraries, I did not try it myself.

Have any of you using Moonlight to test this new thing?
http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/whatI ... =WebClient
But I don't have moonlight and wonder if it really works. No need to install it if it fails
http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/whatI ... =WebClient
One can look at high definition maps of Mars.The WorldWide Telescope Web Client is a browser-based version of WorldWide Telescope that functions as a virtual telescope, bringing together imagery from the best ground- and space-based telescopes to enable seamless, guided explorations of the universe from within a Web browser for Windows PC and Intel Mac OS X user.
The Web Client version of WorldWide Telescope offers a subset of the features from the WorldWide Telescope Windows® Client that was released in May 2008. Details on the feature sets for each release are outlined below.

Moonlight = silverlight in linux
Moonlight is silverlight in linux and if you do a search you'll find some posts, though I do not understand them.
All the commercial tv stations in the Netherlands stream through Silverlight.

Using puppy 525 and firefox 5.
I had moonlight on different distros and older firefoxes; always rather bad, interrupting, croaking, often crashing/freezing the browser.
Moreover, Dutch media are using different Silverlight versions which I saw no Moonlight solution for so far.
No luck at all with Moonlight in newer firefoxes (3.++, 4, 5).
Found "help" but am not enough a technician to follow up instructions:

Netflix uses DRMed Silverlight, I believe, and there's probably no or little chance of Moonlight supporting that, unless Microsoft contributes to the project.

I wasn't able to use Moonlight either.
After installing it, the TV station popped up a message saying "your version of Silverlight is outdated" or something like that. I checked and yes I had installed the latest Moonlight ..

I have previously tried to install this with Firefox 4 but could not get it to work but it installed perfectly this time from http://go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx
Have not tried it with Firefox 5.
Sliverlight test pages work and I can view Sky News at http://news.sky.com/home/liveplus

Most of the Dutch transmitters if using some Silverlight version, work poorly or not at all in any Moonlight version, also sometimes making browsers crash.
Maybe I'll try again in a year or two.

Normally, at clicking a video in such websites, it offers you to install Silverlight; accept and it will change in Moonlight offer, follow instructions.
Click any orange link marked "bekijk":

I followed the step-by-step instructions but it gives me a message, "Novell Moonlight could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 5.0"
EDIT: I got it to install into Firefox 4.0, but it doesn't function.

Moonlight with Firefox
Is there a trick to get Moonlight to work with Firefox. I'm trying to use it to watch a live video stream at
http://www.kptv.com/category/210121/wat ... ected=true
The stream works in Windows but always crashes in Puppy.
Thanks

Re: Moonlight with Firefox
Hi i'm using my own rexbang build, with Google Chrome 13, installed moonlight and went to site you listed played back fine no issues after it installed its codecs. Ill make a video and post it on my site of how I did it for you.John51 wrote:Is there a trick to get Moonlight to work with Firefox. I'm trying to use it to watch a live video stream at

Moonlight in Puppy/Rexbang
I think the problem may be that the codecs aren't downloading. I did get it to install in Linux Mint but there the video quality is poor compared to Windows on the site I referenced above. Note that site only runs with live video in the mornings and afternoons Pacific Time, other times its traffic cameras.
