After a dozen or so tries I finally got Silverlight to. work and Netflix to play under my login.
When I try a different login Netflix looks for Silverlight.
How do I get it to work for the different user?
Zorin 9 Lite. Help is appreciated

Does the second user have 'root' privileges? Also check k the permissions tab of the shortcut! ;) :D

Have you ran the pipelight-plugin --enable pluginname with sudo, if not its just the user who will have the enabled plugin?

Swarfendor457, 2nd User does not have root priveldges. I dont know how to check permissions tab.
I tried enabling Silverlight using su, and it and it was enabled but still get the Netflix system requirements for HTML5 Player and Silverlight page

Added 2nd user to sudo group, but this still did not allow access to Netflix. Getting frustrated.

Thank you Swarfendor437. I had tried that but for some reason had trouble. I eventually deleted the second user and re added her as a new user, whom I gave admin priveledges. I then followed instructions to add Silverlight using pipeline. I then added a Firefox addon to fix problems with Netflix. Finally after re booting and logging in I went into Wine and clicked on Silverlight to agree to terms. I'm going from last night's memory so can't list step by step, but finally it works

Believe me I understand your frustrations. I never could get anything to work other then downloading Google Chrome browser itself, and once I logged into Netflix, I could stream off of Google Chrome just fine. And to me thats the easiest solution. Have it installed on each account, shouldn't be a problem. ;)
