Ubuntu – How to use Moonlight to play videos on rtlmost.hu

In Hungary, the biggest TV channel is RTL Klub, they has a video archive site. They use Silverlight instead of Flash 🙁 What is annoying, they use the lastest version of Silverlight, about 4.x. But Moonlight doesn't support it yet.

I've been tried in Google Chrome (last dev version), and in Firefox (last stable version), and I've been used the both versions of Moonlight, the lastest stable, and the prerelease.

The player loader is displayed, and loaded, but no player displayed after 30 mins waiting.

If I want to switch to Ubuntu completly, how can I manage to play these videos?

Thanks for your anwsers.

Testvideo here. And this is a working video for me.

Also reported to moonlight developers, here.

Although simplistic answer this worked for me, I checked both of your links and they worked (with a rather slow video):

I used Chrome 11.0.696.25 (79504) Ubuntu 10.10
Installed Moonlight from here http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx (installed 64bit)
When I opened the video, it required me some Windows Codecs but Chromium downloaded some and at the end I close the RTL Klub page and reopend it and it worked.
