Frequently Asked Questions

Which platforms does Moonlight support?

Moonlight should work on any modern 32bit and 64bit Linux distributions under Firefox 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5.

We make sure that the plug-in available from this site works on the following platforms: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11, openSUSE 11.x, Ubuntu 9.10, and Fedora 12.

Older distributions will run Moonlight, but may require that you build Moonlight from source code.

Does Netflix work with Moonlight?

Netflix does not work with Moonlight at this time. While Moonlight supports all of the UI and media playback infrastructure, it lacks DRM support which Netflix requires. See this silverlight.net forum post and this page on the Moonlight wiki.
