Bug Description

Just installed Pipelight on my laptop, running Firefox 48.0 and Ubuntu 16-04 and can't get it working. I ran a system check and all items passed except libraries,

Checking libraries...
libcairo.so.2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2
The futex facility returned an unexpected error code./usr/bin/pipelight-plugin: line 420: 9263 Aborted (core dumped) "$PIPELIGHT_SHARE_PATH/wine64" --check-libs
Libraries: FAILURE

All the libraries on the missing libraries FAQ are there.

I downloaded Pipelight and installed it. I then installed the user agent switcher and the user agent over-ride as described and both show as enabled in add-ons manager. The icon appeared on the browser but is grayed out and there is no drop-down arrow.

The list-enabled-all is as follows:

heavy@heavy-Satellite-C75D-B:~$ pipelight-plugin --list-enabled-all
silverlight5.1
widevine

It passes the balls test on the Silverlight page, but when trying to access an Amazon Prime trailer, I get the following message:

Digital Rights Error

If the video doesn’t play, go back to Plugins, click the gear icon at the top of the page, and then click Check for Updates. When the plugins have updated, refresh the video’s page, and then try watching the video.

What am I missing?
