To watch online requires Microsoft Silverlight! (L...

I know us Linux users are often left out in the cold but come on BT, Silverlight! WTF

Microsoft have declared many times that they will not allow Silverlight on Linux OS. I spoke to a few software engineers today at work (UNIX and Linux) who stated categorically that Silverlight will not go on to Linux. Next best bet is a programme called "Moonlight" which has stopped updating, and is out of date for BT Sport.
I even used a version of WINE with Silverlight on, but this was out of date for BT (would play Netflix however, so that is progress!)
Unfortunately, it does seem that I need to find a way of connecting my phone or PC to the TV to view on the big screen, as despite having a Wii, Xbox 360 and Samsung Smart TV and Blu-Ray, nothing can access the mental DRM placed on BT Sport.

Don't need a Netflix account, you can install Silverlight independently of Netflix.
https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx
Even if it does live as an Internet Plug-In it would not be in use when one is not using NetFlix.
Why not? It's a plug-in and any web site can call it just like it can Flash or Java or Quicktime.
So, I'm not sure why you consider it a problem. Nor do I understand how it relates to malware.
Because there are security vulnerabilities for Silverlight like there are for Flash and Java which malware like Flashback compromised 600,000 Mac's by.
So if you have it always enabled, it's on for every web site one visits, malicious or not.
Safari doesn't give a individual plug-in turn off method, it's all or nothing approach so one can't tailor the plug-ins to suit one's browsing preferences to remain more secure.
I guess your information blew enough smoke to confuse the OP into thinking it was meaningful.
No smoke or confusion on mine or the OP's part.
Read my Hardening your Mac, it's got me past MacDefender and Flashback malware by reducing my exposure window.

Microsoft Silverlight for netflix no longer works windows 7

I have windows 7 as my operating system and as of yesterday i can now watch movies instantly on netflix because Microsoft Silverlight is not working. I called Netflix and they said that it has to be a problem with the latest update from firefox. Please help me

Free space? 15GB or more free.
chkdsk comes up clean?
cleaned out temp/tmp and cache?
Programs can be repaired right from the control panel "Programs"
Go into Services to check properties and make sure Apple Mobile, Bonjour, iPod etc are all set to running and automatic. I have to restart all of those usually to get my iPod to connect.
Windows 7 DVD to check for system repairs.
Windows system restore image

Receive Error 900|101000.101004.101005 While Watching Online

I'm 9 minutes from finishing watching Spartacus: Gods of the Arena Episode 6 "The Bitter End" when I receive this message: Sorry, we've experienced some difficulty playing your video.Please refresh this page in your browser to try again.(Error 900|101000.101004.101005) Refreshing didn't help.

I receive the same error for ANY show I try to watch online... The Walking Dead, Dexter, or Spartacus. It is getting quite frustrating. It reads the same... (Error 900|101000.101004.101005) and wants me to refresh. Refreshing results in the ad of course playing quite well and then nothing. What I have found is I have better luck with the lower quality but even that doesn't prevent the error all of the time... only delays the inevitable as I can't get through any single episode of anything anymore. A friends laptop followed this same trend when we tested it... low quality seemed to delay the issue but it still happened. Any why pay for HD when you can't even get it. I did the Xfinity speed test at speedtest.comcast.net and average a 47Mbps on 2 different servers. I have zero issues watching on my phone though. I shouldn't have to resort to the small screen and limit my viewing experience when this is not free stuff here. I have read through so many forums and found supposed causes anywhere from some versions of Flash Player not being compatible to secondary account holders aren't authorized to view anything rated MA. I've also read of some who have similar errors as the only email account active with their service. There is no rhyme or reason to it that I can find yet. What I did find consistent in the forums so far is Comcast Joe. He always asks for the info from xfinitytv.com/computer and links for the shows and when they are sent, there never seems to be a reply back with any resolution or possible cause. I just don't get it. The details submitted by everyone also vary with the answer to primary account holder being both true and false. Please fix this Comcast. There are a lot of customers out there being impacted by this issue.

I can't watch online videos without them constantly stopping and buffering

I cannot watch online videos or movies from a website or with a player. The videos and/or movies continually stop and start again and are constantly buffering. I have tried emptying the cache. I can maneuver all over the web without delays so I don't think it's my internet. Our internet is wireless and we have a satellite system.

Hi and welcome...
Your Mac came with Flash, QuickTime, and Java pre-installed.
It depends on which format the videos are that you are trying to view. Often Flip4Mac is required.
You can access Flip4Mac settings in System Preferences (in your Applications folder) once the software is installed.
If Flip4Mac doesn't help, post a link to the site where you can't stream video.

Watching online video - lagging

Hello everyone. I have a problem with lagging when watching online videos. I have intel core duo 2.8 and currently updated to 4gig ram, and as before, online video keeps pretty its irritating manner.
Any advice please?

I have the same problem (originally posted below).
What speed is usually required for video?
I get between 3 & 4 Mb/s on speed tests (DSLreports). I don't have any problem on any of my other computers on my network, so I wouldn't think it would require more.

Try using different browsers

Not been able to identify the right codec to watch online movies

Hi. I been trying to watch online movies from the movies25.com website. But i get this pop-up msg stating that the required Codec is missing!!!!!!! Can i get some help on this pls

Obviously that site will not work with the iPad at all. You cannot install plug-ins or codecs or anything at all on the iPad into any browser or anything else for that matter.
You can only download and install content from iTunes, the App Store and iBooks on the iPad.

Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot get directly to Netflix. I get a message about having to download Microsoft Silverlight. I can't get that to work and don't want it anyway. I just want to open Netflix and play the movies. What should I do?

Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot get directly to Netflix. I get a to Netflix and there is a big message about having to download/install Microsoft Silverlight. I can't get that to work and don't want it anyway. I just want to open Netflix and play the movies. What should I do?

I can't get that to work and don't want it anyway.
You need Silverlight. That is the application that plays the Netflix movies.

Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe AIR

I ran across this by being curious but I have installed on my system the Microsoft Silverlight Plugin and the Adobe AIR plugin...
I am curious as to when and/or how these two plugins can be integrated into the Safari browser...
I know for definite that Silverlight is not working and I am not for sure about Adobe AIR at this time.

Well the Silverlight plugin from what my understanding of what it is..
Is supposed to be something like flash. You can develop applications and stream them over the internet for various media types. If you go back to the Silverlight Website ( http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/ ) the beginning animation that is on the page is running using Silverlight. Currently you cannot view it with Safari. It shows as though it is installed but shows nothing in the browser, so you will have to use one of the other browsers you have. I have seen it in use inside Gadgets for the Sidebar for Microsoft Windows, several examples on the website, and some websites are starting to use it and will enable the plugin if it is installed. Microsoft Expression Studio V1 now has the capability to develop with it as well.
Adobe AIR is pretty much the same thing, ( http://www.adobe.com/products/air/ ) Like Silverlight and Flash, it enables applications and streaming of files over the internet. A good example of it in use is the Finetune Desktop. ( http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us& extid=1282522 ) This is actually an application that uses AdobeAIR inside the program... It actually installs using AdobeAIR and runs seamlessly. I have been quite impressed by it. There are several examples of this on the main site itself.
Both are supposed to be cross platform and browser compatible, using new technologies to offer better resource usage, a higher quality of end-user experience, as well as many improved features for Businesses.
You will probably begin to see more and more websites using the two to build applications as the year passes. Probably even more widely used in 2009.

Yes, you can watch movies on your HD TV using the Digital AV Adapter and, of course, an HDMI cable.

Watching online video on a new Intel-MacBook

I am unable to watch online videos on my new MacBook. The windows media player alarm comes up telling me I don't have the right plug-in. I believe that is the Quicktime component add-on. This still doesn't work. How can watch online video (like cnn.com for example) on my Intel MacBook?

The intel flip4mac beta is no longer available so you can't use it.
Therefore install windows media player from http://www.mactopica.com
You could then force safari to open under rosetta and the windows media plugin should work.
