Comment 13 for bug 1248938

Hi,

the crash when using the original wine version is caused by the fact, that this version doesn't contain any of our patches, which are required to run Silverlight properly. The older wine version was only for testing, netflix/lovefilm/*-desktop comes with a separate newer wine version.

Its really weird, especially we cannot confirm any problems even with the latest wine version.

I assume you're using netflix/lovefilm/*-desktop standalone, without using the pipelight wrapper libs.
Does the problem also occur when they're installed? To try it out, just run the following commands (really ONLY the commands below!!):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi

After this both wine-browser and all the netflix/lovefilm/*-desktop apps will use the pipelight libraries automatically and no further configuration is required. The main difference is that not a whole browser will run inside Wine, but just the Silverlight window - the rest runs inside the usual Linux version of firefox.

Let me know if the problem occurs still after doing this.

Sebastian
