[gentoo-user] Moonlight on Gentoo

2008-08-08 Thread Willie Wong 
Hi group:

  I was rather excited at first about NBC streaming olympic events on
  the internet then I discovered that their media player is based
  on Silverlight. 

  Do you have any experience installing/running Moonlight on Gentoo?
  Is there a ebuild available? Does it work with Firefox 3? Does
  Moonlight 1 (since Moonlight 2 is still in pre-alpha) work with
  NBC's stream?

Best, 

Willie

Hi Willie,

I have had no experience with moonlight yet, but google brought me to this [1]. 
More useful would be this [2]. At [2] you can just download an firefox 2 plugin 
in .xpi format. It seems that there is no ebuild atm. Please report your 
experience to this thread.

Haven't tried it yet (but I will be shortly), but a quick search on
bugs.gentoo.org brings up the following, which has an attached ebuild
for moonlight - just add it to a local overlay and go for it.
