How to view sky go on linux (silverlight DRM on linux)

I'v installed pipelight in order to view silverlight based video. if I go on a test page with firefox I can see it without problem.
if I go on the skyonline.it (similar to skygo) website it told that I need to install silverlight.
I tried to switch with user agent override to IExplorer but with no results.
someone told me that sky is using silverlight5.5 instead 5.1.
how can I view that video?

It seems that pipelight does't work with moonlight-plugin for firefox... If the video starts I put SOLVED on the title

EDIT: Video trailers start... movies show sdrm6030 error code... DRM rights... I legally payed that movie how can I view it?

I am not sure whether this is a solution for you or not, but it's worth a suggestion... You can try to install google-chrome from the AUR, it has all plugins you need already built in.

Re: How to view sky go on linux (silverlight DRM on linux)

I used to watch movies with pipelight in Firefox long time ago. Silverlight version 5.5 does not exist.
The last version is 5.1, which never worked with Sky Go.
I always had to use 5.0.

Maybe try:

sudo pipelight-plugin --disable silverlight5.1 && sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight5.0

EDIT:
Before that update your Script dependency-installer

sudo pipelight-plugin --update

Thanks..
I'll try these fixes... You're right, silverlight 5.5 does not exist.
The problem is sky on linux give no permissions to pipelight to see DRM protected contents.
If I watch a movie on windows, silverlight ask me if I want to enable DRM permissions.
On arch that pop up does not appear and it stuck with the 6030 error
(I tried to install firefox via wine and the error is 6025)
