[SOLVED] Silverlight vs. Moonlight

[zugunder]

Hi guys,

Right after I put Mageia on my laptop I immediately installed various multimedia packages like Flash and Moonlight.
However, I discovered recently that I have pre-installed (correct me if it is not true, but I just can't remember installing these packages) Mono and Silverlight Mozilla plugin.
Actually, I had some issues with watching online TV, so I start to dig into that (I have a Moonlight logo in the player's frame, but almost all the attempts to play result in freezes). I suppose, it may be because of the conflict of those two engines.
As far as I remember, neither Mandriva nor Suse have ever preinstalled Silverlight by default. Why do I have it here?
So I need an advice - what do you think is better to keep? Which one is more reliable?

[isadora]

Pre-installed MS-Silverlight, no way José.
I think (actually am sure) without interactivity by the user, this won't be installed.
Moonlight is an open-source-implementation for Silverlight, and is part of the Mono-project.
You can read extensive information at:
http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight

Concerning reliability, no idea, don't use it myself.

[zugunder]

Well, so it means that I installed that Silverlight plugin myself?.. That is very very strange, because I have always known that I had Moonlight installed and, moreover, HOW was it possible?
Will try to uninstall it or at least to disable.

P.S. Can anyone check if the silverlight plugin is present in FF 6.0.2 installation?

Thank you.

UPD. It looks like the plugin is a part of Moonlight installation - without it FF doesn't even try to play any silverlight stream. With the plugin activated it tries, but can't load the stream. In the list of plugins for FF (usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins) there is one called "libmoonloader.so" which is apparently what is shown in Mozilla plugins list as "Silverlight plugin". Funny...

I believe that the moonlight extension advertises itself as "Silverlight". I have installed the moonlight package (version 2.4.1, on Mageia 1) , and looking into Firefox, i see that the plugin Silverlight version 3.0.40818.0 is showing up. Moreover, if you write "about:plugins" in the URL area, you can see that the Silverlight plugin is described as "Novell moonlight", and is implemented by the file libmoonloader.so which belongs to the moonlight package.

So, this is normal i think.

[zugunder]

Thank you, eonwir,
The name of the plugin is really puzzling .

[zugunder]

Sorry for returning to this thread...
I have installed Moonlight 2.4.1 but unable to watch any Silverlight streams. As far as I understand, Moonlight plugin is "free", but it requires proprietary Microsoft codecs to display video. So when I am trying to start a stream, I am suggested to install MICROSOFT MEDIA PACK 2.0, it is downloaded automatically but fails to install - "Permission denied".
Does anyone has any idea what the problem may be?
Thank you.

Is there anything of worth using Silver/Moon-Light?
From what I am understanding it's not very popular.
I rarely run into it.

Moonlight is no more updated since aprile 2011.
It doesn't work with the up to date version of Firefox ...

[Max]

That might be fixed by editing the config file for the plugin.
That's what I did with several addons that didn't accept FF's rapid upgrades.

Kinda reflects on the popularity of Silverlight.

You're right!

Hi guys,
I value your opinion on Moonlight a lot, but it is not what I asked about.
So, no one has any experience of M$ codec pack installation?

[zugunder]

Hi,

I am back to this topic after I updated Firefox to 10.0.2 and it finally supports lots of "older" extensions.
I was finally able to install a Moonlight extension from http://go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx and ran it. However I faced exactly the same problem as with previous versions of FF and Moonlight: after I agree with license, etc, downloading of codecs starts and completes, but installation stops with an error.
Looks like it is a system error or a compatibility issue of the installer and Mageia.
How can I check what causes this problem?

Thank you.

P.S. I managed to install it and it seems to work... sometimes .
For some reason the folder .mozilla/plugins in /home/user has a root owner, the other 2 folders in .mozilla are owned by user...
I do not know why it is done that way and for what, but after I changed ownership to me, the installation was completed. Then I changed the ownership back to root...
Can anyone explain why the plugins folder is owned by root?

Thank you.

This is not done by the firefox package, as RPM has no access to your /home.
You have accidentaly changed it yourself, that's my guess. As plugin installations also run as user,
they can't even change ownership to root. So can't have been done by a faulty plugin installation,
otherwise it would have asked you for the root password.

[zugunder]

This is not done by the firefox package, as RPM has no access to your /home.
You have accidentaly changed it yourself, that's my guess.

So, in other words, yours ./mozilla/plugins owner is you, not root?
If so, it seems to be my fault indeed, though of course I do not remember changing anything there
Thank you.

OT
In Italy you can't watch public television on the web, unless you use silverlight.

[doktor5000]

So, in other words, yours ./mozilla/plugins owner is you, not root?

Uhmm, by design everything in your /home should be owned by you, not root.
(~/.gvfs being the only exception, as it has really weird permissions, but you don't use that directly)

[PiElle]

Seems that there has been an update on Feb, 27th.
Now it works with all kinds of Silverlight streams!
Tested in Fedora16 and Mint 12 KDE...

Where did you find that? In the official repositories of those distributions?
I can't find anything at http://go-mono.com/moonlight/, no package, nor news...

[PiElle]

The address is correct.
It has been updated (despite of the date reported on the site itself).
Now it reproduces RAI programs (the Italian state owned public service broadcaster) and even Silverlight streams from Microsoft sites!
I couldn't believe to my eyes!

[mauro]

You're right! firefox 10.0.2 + moonlight works! At the moment...
Now I can watch RAI News!

I wonder what happened.

[PiElle]

All's well what ends well!

Hello,

I've installed moonlight on Firefox from this link: http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx, but i can get to work with this dynamic page https://www.favorit.hr/Live/Default.aspx. I get the loading bubbles, like in windows, but after just black. I right-clicked to get into the moonlight seeting and installed the vc-1 codecs in the prompt box, and it says they are installed. I'm running a fresh install of Mageia 2 KDE 32bit CD, so i wonder if i maybe be missing some other stuff that i have to install on my part.

This is what i get from the terminal:

Moonlight: ErrorEventArgs created with message: 'Error while creating the instance of type FavoritBookingSilverlightUI.App'

(plugin-container:2894): Moonlight-WARNING **: (plugin-class.cpp:610):static void Moonlight::EventListenerProxy::proxy_listener_to_javascript(Moonlight::EventObject*, Moonlight::EventArgs*, void*): runtime check failed: (js_sender != NULL)



I hope someone can get a workaround for this, because it's annoying to switch to my win7 partition just to run this page. I also thought about installing IE on Wine and istalling silverlight there, but i failed that miserably as well. Tried Chrome too with no success.
