Silverlight For Mac Chrome Not Working

May 11, 2015 - In Chrome 42 NPAPI is disabled by default, disallowing plugins like. Silverlight may not work in recent versions of Google Chrome, you'll. Cannot type into Silverlight 5 input fields (Chrome) MacOS. Sadly this is the behavior of textboxes in Silverlight 5 in Chrome on osX. They work fine in Safari, Firefox, etc. But not Chrome. Officially Silverlight is not supported in Chrome on osX. Silverlight 4 worked fine, but 5 no. Sorry that this is not the answer you're hoping for. You can also look at this post: Silverlight 5 issue on mac.

Browser plug-in stalwarts know about the planned move to a plugin-free web by top Internet software companies. It has become increasingly difficult to access Silverlight content in the browser with every passing year. No browser has pushed back against NPAPI plug-ins as hard as Google Chrome. In fact, the option to even enable Silverlight in Chrome was removed by Google in September of 2015. Yet some Silverlight content remains on the internet.

Those who want to display it using the web’s most popular web browser are at a loss. But not a complete loss.

It is still possible to use Silverlight in Chrome on Windows 10 with a free extension. The extension for Chrome is not only useful for displaying web pages with Silverlight content, but also for Sharepoint, Java and ActiveX content too. Until which time it becomes impossible to use these technologies, holdouts can still view Silverlight content within the Chrome wrapper. IE Tab emulates Internet Explorer within a Chrome browser window.

The extension uses the Internet Explorer rendering engine so you can view Silverlight content. Caveat: IE Tab works on Windows only. Pay a visit to the Chrome Web Store Launch. Next, visit the in the Chrome Web Store. Click the blue Add To Chrome button. A dialog will display asking you if you want to Add IE Tab, accompanied by a list of functions it can perform.

Click the Add extension button. Once installed, the IE Tab icon displays next to Chrome’s address bar/omnibox. Click the icon to open an IE Tab. In the IE Tab, input the web address of the page that contains Silverlight content. For example, visit the on Microsoft’s site with Chrome using an IE Tab.

Hi, I' ve bought a Macbook pro not so long a go, it's running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 but the Microsoft Silverlight plugin does not seem to work, I tried everything. Reinstalling, rebooting, installing Flip4mac. Uninstalling everything correctly and installing only the plugin.

I tried different browsers; google chrome, firefox, opera, safari nothing worked. The plugin is ofcourse installed correctly, I even tried running the browsers in 32bit mode (which was advised at a different forum). Flash movies are not a problem btw. I need to use the silverlight plugin to view back TV broadcast from my country. It does not give an error when I load the movie it just give me a black screen (and no sound) and says closed. Does anyone know what to do about it?

Would be much appreciated greets Bram. The solution may be as simple as opening Safari then opening Preferences under the security icon open Plug-in Settings button, check to see if the Silverlight icon is checked, if it is NOT check the box and then try opening the application or website that uses Silverlight. This should work. Also using Firefox website works too, it will indicate whether your version of Silverlight is activated or needs to be allowed for use.

I hope this helps. Make sure you are allowing Silverlight software to run on your machine. Thanks for your responds guys, I took a look at Watched the demo ( ) It gives me no video (black screen) but it do gives me audio. When I go to the Silverlight section it says I have the latest version. Also when I go to case-studies section for example I am able to see the still pictures.
