Hi,

we have tested the latest wine version ourself with KDE and its very
unlikely that the problem is related to that. As the bubble ball demo works
as expected it is definitely no problem with embedding the window into the
browser, and the rest should basically be independent of the used desktop
environment.

We also had a user yesterday on IRC, for which the Chrome UA Spoofer didn't
work anymore, but I wasn't able to confirm this myself yet, and at least my
old version still seems to work as expected.

Can you please check with http://fds-team.de/pipelight/ if the user agent
string is the problem and which Silverlight version do you see there. You
should see:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120427 Firefox/15.0a1
and Silverlight version 5.1.20513.0.

As a workaround you can try to set the user agent via commandline (close
all other browser windows first):

chromium-browser --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0)
Gecko/20120427 Firefox/15.0a1"

If this is not the issue: Did you modify anything manually in the previous
pipelight configuration file (e.g. disable GPU acceleration, ...)? As the
paths have changed in pipelight 0.2.0 with the introduction of
multiplugin-support all these changes are not used anymore.

Sebastian
