Pipelight: Use Silverlight In Your Linux Browser To Watch Netflix, Maxdome Videos And More

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://fds-team.de/cms/articles/2013-08/pipelight-using-silverlight-in-linux-browsers.html">Pipelight</a> is project that brings Silverlight to any Linux browser that supports the Netscape Plugin API. Using it, you can use services that require Silverlight, such as Netflix, in native Linux web browsers like Firefox, Chrome or Midori.</b></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/netflix-linux-chrome.png"><img alt="Netflix Google Chrome Linux" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbE_Gs7mwOXD0VcQf03yV2nZaN07v0aUSDLeZ4XQaUy16RxnOYZreoqHggtFwS-Kbgkfff4tooWL2ee7KtLl2hvdLLjI9YwWLv2fjjAs5qCuYwD5LJ6qisqbjRv6NqIFwkjdJVu4RdM1Q/s320/netflix-linux-chrome.png" /></a></div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Pipelight combines the effort by Erich E. Hoover (the <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-netflix-in-ubuntu-through.html">Netflix Desktop</a> developer) with a new browser plugin which - unlike Netflix Desktop which requires a Windows version of Firefox to run under Wine -, lets you access services that require Microsoft Silverlight using native Linux web browsers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This solution isn't Wine-free because the browser plugin continues to use Wine however, this shouldn't have a big impact on performance:</div><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i>"Pipelight consists out of two parts: A Linux library which is loaded into the browser and a Windows program started in Wine. The Windows program, called pluginloader.exe, simply simulates a browser and loads the Silverlight DLLs. When you open a page with a Silverlight application the library will send all commands from the browser through a pipe to the Windows process and act like a bridge between your browser and Silverlight. The used pipes do not have any big impact on the speed of the rendered video since all the video and audio data is not send through the pipe. Only the initialization parameters and (sometimes) the network traffic is send through them."</i></blockquote><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the Pipelight website, <b>the plugin has been confirmed to work "almost perfectly" using Microsoft Silverlight 5 for the following websites: <a href="http://www.maxdome.de/">Maxdome</a>, <a href="http://netflix.com/">Netflix</a> and <a href="https://sumo.tv2.no/">Sumo 2</a></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've tested Pipelight with Netflix, under Chrome (Ubuntu 13.10) and I can confirm it works (and the playback was smooth!), as you can see in the screenshots in this article. Update: I've also tested it with Firefox and it works, but sometimes the browser freezes, something which doesn't happen with Chrome so I recommend using Chrome / Chromium with Pipelight.</div><br /><br /><h2>Install Pipelight in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/netflix-chrome-silverlight.png"><img alt="Microsoft Silverlight Google Chrome Linux" src="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/netflix-chrome-silverlight_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Before proceeding, it's strongly recommended to close your web browser. Without doing this, the plugin may fail to install or crash the browser. </b></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1.</b> Pipelight is available in two PPAs for Ubuntu users: a <a href="https://launchpad.net/~mqchael/+archive/pipelight">stable</a> and a <a href="https://launchpad.net/~mqchael/+archive/pipelight-daily">daily</a> PPA. Firstly, try the stable PPA and if you encounter issues, also give the <a href="https://launchpad.net/~mqchael/+archive/pipelight-daily">daily PPA</a> a try.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To add the Pipelight stable and Compholio PPAs and install Pipelight in Ubuntu, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio<br />sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mqchael/pipelight<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install pipelight</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Once installed, start your browser and try <a href="http://bubblemark.com/silverlight2.html">THIS</a> test Silverlight applet. If it doesn't work, check if Silverlight is available in your browser plugin list (e.g.: you can type "about:plugins" in the address bar).</div><br />If you didn't close the browser before proceeding with the installation and Silverlight doesn't work, run the following command:<br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>rm -rf ~/.wine-pipelight/</code></pre>and then restart the browser.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2.</b> We're not done yet. Silverlight should be working now, but some websites such as Netflix check the browser user agent and won't allow you to play any videos since Linux isn't supported. A work-around for this is to use a browser user agent switcher:</div><br /><ul><li>Firefox: install <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/uacontrol/">UAControl</a> or <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-overrider">User Agent Overrider</a> extensions and use one of the following user agents:</li><ul><li>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120427 Firefox/15.0a1</li><li>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0</li><li>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:23.0) Gecko/20131011 Firefox/23.0</li></ul><li>Chrome: install <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg">User Agent Switcher</a>  extension and select Windows Firefox 15 from the extension preferences.</li></ul><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">That's it!

Evernote Linux Client `NixNote 2` To Ditch Java For C++ / Qt, Alpha Version Available

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/evernote-for-linux-nevernote.html">NixNote</a> (previously Nevernote) is an unofficial open source Evernote client written in Java, but it seems this will change with the next major release and C++/Qt will be used instead.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For those not familiar with <a href="http://evernote.com/">Evernote</a>, this is a popular note-taking service that besides regular notes, supports images, video and audio, handwritten notes and basically all kind of information you could add to a note. There are Evernote applications for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry and so on, but not for Linux.</div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">NixNote has almost all the features present in the official Evernote application for Windows, but it's written in Java and many users have complained about its memory usage. But this will change with <b><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/files/NixNote2-alpha/">NixNote 2</a>, an effort to rewrite Nixnote from scratch, having speed and a reduced memory footprint as the main goals</b>. According to its developer, NixNote 2 will be written in C++ using Qt's framework and there might be some Java pieces, but he's hoping to keep them to an absolute minimum.</div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/nixnote2.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Nixnote 2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqmhKtBq6tkPYktAyXHg6I2Kiu_ZYzYBLCowtHhpUoIa3CTVMEhyphenhyphena9ZtdpzsYZJazmZ0aJN5WrBPOOMtFQIjOsvAF2-0AiP1DN2lucxbbSTCY6Ln80JqghYZWWNXCwFGP6rghTIE_zOKA/s320/nixnote2.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nixnote 2 alpha 3</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to try the latest NixNote 2 alpha 3, you can download it already, but only for 64bit. Also, remember that <b>this is an alpha version released for testing purposes only</b>, so you may find bugs and also, some features aren't working yet, like uploads to shared / linked notebooks, encrypted text in notes, you can't pin a note or color it, you can't close a notebook and more. For more info about this, visit the NixNote 2 alpha 3 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/nevernote/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=377">thread</a>.</div><br /><br /><h2>Try Nixnote2 alpha in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The latest Nixnote 2 alpha 3 is only available for 64bit</b> (no source available yet) and in my test, it <b>has worked in Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 </b>(I didn't test it in Ubuntu 12.10). Unfortunately, the binary is built against <i>libpoppler-qt4-4</i> which isn't available in Ubuntu 12.04, meaning that <b>the current build won't work in Precise</b>.</div><br /><b>Before proceeding, install the required dependencies:</b><br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo apt-get install libpoppler-qt4-4 tidy mimetex</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Then, <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/files/NixNote2-alpha/">download Nixnote 2 alpha</a> </b>(make sure you read the release notes before using NixNote 2 alpha!), extract the downloaded archive and simply double click "nixnote" from the extracted folder.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Important:</b> since this is alpha quality, uploads are disabled by default. To get Nixnote 2 alpha to sync with the Evernote servers do the following: in the NixNote preferences (<i>Tools > Preferences</i>), on the Debugging tab, uncheck the "Disable uploads to server" box, then click Ok:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/nixnote2-uploads.png"><img alt="Nixnote 2" src="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/nixnote2-uploads_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">And finally, click the "Sync" button on the toolbar, enter your Evernote username and password and your notes should then sync with the Evernote servers.</div>
