[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 636231] Re: Moonlight mozilla plugin does not play silverlight content

[sre]

This bug did affect me. Solution for me after some googling with no
hints at all I found this while debugging.

Totem player refused to connect to stream from any silverlight sites.
After purging totem with apt I installed mplayer, and gecko-mediaplayer,
downloaded silverlight-media-pack-linux-x86-5-1.so codec from Microsoft
and windows-essential-20071007 from MplayerHQ website.

Copied silverlight-media-pack-linux-x86-5-1.so (I have uploaded a copy
to my server http://www.nixn.org/essentials/silverlight-media-pack-
linux-x86-5-1.so in case it's hard to find). Symlinked it into
/usr/lib/codecs followed by ldconfig. After this I have no problem with
silverlight sites using the moonlight plugin.

(Hope this is the correct place to put my solution).

3) What I expected to happen is when I come across Silverlight content, Moonlight plays it flawlessly.

4) When I go to  Microsoft's Silverlight website content:

The silverlight content does not display.
