[GRLUG] Silverlight (and Netflix) on Linux

[John Wesorick]

I know there are some people on here with Netflix or are required to use
Silverlight for whatever reason. I just thought I'd share this project that
just came out called
Pipelight<http://fds-team.de/cms/articles/2013-08/pipelight-using-silverlight-in-linux-browsers.html>.
It allows you to use Silverlight on Linux via an interesting mechanism
where it creates a plugin for your native browser that runs Silverlight
through a special patched WINE. It is by the same dev as Netflix
Desktop<http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/>,
but is much more seamless, and works with all Silverlight applications. One
of our main vendor's B2B site is built on Silverlight, so we've had to use
an RDS connection to a Windows server just to access it, but this seems to
be working so we can access it more or less natively.
