original silverlight in ubuntu? (moonlight not accepted from italian website)

by

I know about moonlight but it doesn’t work on an italian web site I need:
http://www.video.mediaset.it/video/motogp/full/258461/motogp-di-valencia.html.

I’m running chromium browser on ubuntu 11.10, Novell Moonlight – Version: 3.99.0.3.

I cannot see a way to solve this problem other that reboot on windows 7, if anybody can help.

I wonder if there’s a way to install the original microsoft silverlight on linux.

Thanks.

Answer

Moonlight at the current time is the Silverlight client for Linux; there are no alternatives that I am aware of, and Microsoft does not have an official Silverlight client for Linux.

Moonlight should in general be compatible with Silverlight, except in cases where the Silverlight application in question uses Microsoft PlayReady DRM. It is possible the website you are trying to use is protected by this DRM scheme.
