Comment 19 for bug 1235918

Hi,

I'm very sorry, but currently we don't have any working solution for this. Solving this problem isn't that easy, especially because it involves myriad legal issues.

Implementing the missing functions into Wine would require specific graphic driver features, which unfortunately are not available on Linux, not even in proprietary graphic drivers. We've already been talking to employees of graphic card vendors, and they're also not able to port these features in the near future since this would violate their contracts with Microsoft when they do this. We're also not able to implement it ourself since the drivers have to be signed by Microsoft, and only Windows drivers can be signed at all.

We're not yet giving up on this bug, but nevertheless you better shouldn't expect a solution immediately during the next time. We are still evaluating different options we have left, but most of them involve a lot of additional work (like using these functions from a Windows version of the graphic card drivers).

@giovanni: If you want to use a different site than the one mentioned in this bug report and you've experienced the problem with Silverlight 5.1, then there is still a bit hope, that it could work with 5.0 (the DRM system has changed between these versions). This bug report is only related to the issues when it doesn't work at all with both 5.0 and 5.1.
