It does not contain any Microsoft font (therefore I am allowed to distribute the package), but the post-installation script will automatically download and install the Microsoft Core Fonts for the Web for you. ? The webcore-fonts-installer is a nifty package. For instance (version and build numbers may change over time) using these commands: You need to install that, instead of using the 64-bit package, otherwise Wine will not work. ? If you are running 64-bit Slackware, then you should download the 32-bit version of the OpenAL package and use the “convertpkg-compat32” program in order to create a multilib “compat32” package. I noticed some references to wine64 in the piplelight sourcecode (un-implemented functionality as of yet) so there’s hope that multilib will not be needed in future. ? Note that Wine is a 32-bit product (and the pre-compiled pipelight pluginloader comes as 32-bit binary only), so if you are running 64-bit Slackware you will have to switch it to a multilib system first. Download and install the following packages for your Slackware version and architecture: I made them available for Slackware 14.0 and 14.1, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. ? First, you need a couple of my packages (you may have some of them already).

And now, how to get this all working in Slackware? As a user you will not notice anything from that “magic” and you can simply use Silverlight the same way as on Windows. Only the initialization parameters and (sometimes) the network traffic is send through them.
The used pipes do not have any big impact on the speed of the rendered video since all the video and audio data is not send through the pipe.

When you open a page with a Silverlight application the library will send all commands from the browser through a pipe to the Windows process and act like a bridge between your browser and Silverlight. The Windows program, called “pluginloader.exe”, simply simulates a browser and loads the Silverlight DLLs. Pipelight consists out of two parts: A Linux library which is loaded into the browser and a Windows program started in Wine. Let me quote verbatim from the project page, because I can not phrase it better: This modified Wine ( wine-pipelight) is combined with a new browser plugin ( pipelight) that embeds Silverlight directly in any Linux browser supporting the Netscape Plugin API (yes… the API which Google is planning to drop from its Chrome browser in 2014… not playing nice here, Google!). Hoover who created a set of Wine patches to get Playready DRM protected content working inside Wine. Project Pipelight utilizes the efforts made by Erich E. What is Pipelight and how does it render these SilverLight pages, and Netflix videos, and more, in your browser? You may definitely want to install Pipelight in order to view Netflix content on your Linux computer! Having a Netflix subscription forced you to boot a Windows computer but that is now history. Not just dutch Slackware users with children in secondary school will profit. This article will show you how to install and configure Pipelight on Slackware Linux without effort.

It took a while to get it all sorted out and make sense of the way in which the various pieces of software interact, but despite a busy work schedule I managed to pull it off in the end. The most promising (in fact as it turned out, the only) solution appeared to be Pipelight. In my article, I mentioned that I was looking at ways to render SilverLight based websites in a Linux browser. A disastrous move induced by an arrogant company, which of course leaves Linux desktop users out in the cold. You may have read my earlier rant about dutch schools migrating (or forced to migrate) to a Microsoft SilverLight based learning management software called Magister. That is the exact title of an article which appeared on last august.
