Bug 106885 – Moonlight with webkitgtk browsers

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: WebKitGTK

Hi,
I've installed moonlight on a webkitgtk browser (midori), but when I try to load a silverlight content, the browser freezes.

If I launch it from the terminal and I type the url, these messages appear:

Moonlight: 3.99.0.3
Moonlight: Attempting to load libmoonloaderxpi 
debug_get_option: GALLIUM_DRIVER = softpipe
Moonlight: Installing signal handlers for crash reporting.
Moonlight: Enabling MONO_DEBUG=keep-delegates,reverse-pinvoke-exceptions and MOONLIGHT_ENABLE_CONSOLE=1
Moonlight: Loaded mscodecs from: /home/cristian/.mozilla/plugins/moonlight/silverlight-media-pack-linux-x86-21-1.so.

If I enable the silverlight content, I get:

Moonlight: browser bridge not found for your browser (likely not needed). User agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; it-it) AppleWebKit/535+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/535.20+ Midori/0.4'

(midori:4566): Moonlight-WARNING **: Insufficient OpenGL version: 1.4 Mesa 8.0.2
debug_get_bool_option: GALLIUM_NOSSE = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: GALLIUM_DUMP_FS = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: SOFTPIPE_DUMP_GS = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: DRAW_FSE = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: DRAW_NO_FSE = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: GALLIUM_DUMP_VS = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: SP_NO_RAST = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: GALLIUM_NOSSE = FALSE

and the output stops.

If I disable GL ('Use hardware acceleration' option) from the moonlight settings ('Advanced' tab), and I update the webpage (F5 key), I get instead:

debug_get_bool_option: SOFTPIPE_DUMP_GS = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: SP_NO_RAST = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: GALLIUM_NOSSE = FALSE
debug_get_bool_option: GALLIUM_DUMP_FS = FALSE

with a endless loop.

With no-gtk webkit browsers (for example Chrome, Chromium) this problem doesn't exist. The silverlight contents are displayed properly.

Moonlight was open-source alternative to Silverlight plugin and has been abandoned now. Further, NPAPI and Webkit Plugins are not supported any more. Can this be marked as "RESOLVED WONTFIX"? Thanks!
