Hi everyone,
I was interested to see if Netflix would work in Odyssey which it was looking promissing till I got a request to install the Silverlight pluggin. I am interested if this could be made possible or is it something a work around is not possible for or is it a microsoft only thing?
Kindest regards
As others have pointed out, Silverlight is a dead-end.
In fact, Netflix is moving away from Silverlight towards pure HTML5 video playback. However, this requires a web browser that supports "Encrypted Media Extensions" (EME). (Safari in the newly released MacOS Yosemite is one of these browsers. Like Odyssey, it is also based on Webkit.)
Unfortunately it is widely used, as for example in my country, Italy, the national broadcast RAI TV works only with Silverlight.
Yes it is a shame as I pay taxes to make online videos from my national broadcast availble to any platform, but so the world goes on...
