Ubuntu – Pipelight stopped working in Google Chrome

google-chromepipelight

I think it happened after I updated my system yesterday. I cannot watch Netflix any more because it says I don't have Silverlight. Looking at chrome:plugins, there is no plugin for Silverlight. I tried disabling and re-enabling the plugin (sudo pipelight-plugin…). It was enabled without any error. Still the same. Any idea what's going on?

Best Answer

Chrome has dropped support of NPAPI plugins and only supports PPAPI plugins. Since pipelight is (likely) a NPAPI plugin, it cannot be used in Chrome.
