Comment 6 for bug 1309839

@Colan:

Its not surprising that Chromium (using Pipelight) stopped working after updating to 14.04: The latest version 34 contains a patch, which removes NPAPI support. This step was also done in the official Chromium builds at version 35. They just want that only Googles own plugins continue to work, everything else is "deprecated" and not supported anymore. They'll also do the same on Windows by the way. The easiest workaround is to use a different browser, like Firefox.

When you say it doesn't work in Firefox, I assume you mean in your native linux browser. This is also unrelated to Netflix-Desktop then. Please check the diagnostic page http://fds-team.de/pipelight and select Silverlight to find out whats wrong. I suspect that you either have to clear the plugin cache (can happen when files are overwritten while the browser is still opened, run "sudo pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins" to fix it), or you're missing a useragent switcher ( http://pipelight.net/cms/installation-user-agent.html#section_2 ). If this doesn't help for pipelight, feel free to create a question in the corresponding answer tracker, and we'll give some more ideas: https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight

Concerning Netflix-Desktop: Deleting the wineprefix should normally be sufficient. Did you run the delete command as the right user? You should run it within the same user account you're using to run the program itself (_not_ root!). If this doesn't help please provide some more information about which Linux firefox version you have installed.

dpkg --list | grep firefox

Sebastian
