I was using my own builds of pipe-light and wine a separate wine I had prefixed under /opt. After applying the most recent Slackware patches for seamonkey, pluginloader started page faulting with silverlight5.1, silverlight5.0 works but that does not get you Netflix.
My builds were a little older than Alien's so I tried switching to his, removed my pipe-light and wine builds, installed Alien's. Same thing.
Ok upgrade to the very latest, pipe-light 2.8 and Wine 1.7.33(staging). Went ahead and replaced the system wine with that, because that is what RH and others are now doing (works great with all my other Windows apps BTW).
Plugin loader still crashes on slivelight5.1. Its actually dies in npctrl.dll; silver light itself. Disabling hardware accel does not seem to change anything either.
Given I have now run three different win revs, three different builds of two different versions of pipe-light and other plugins are working fine, I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
I have been avoiding going down that path because I really like Seamonkey and I don't particularly want to change browsers or use two different browser, but its certainly another options for the back pocket.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

Rep:
I have not been able to get pipelight/silverlight/widevine to work with SeaMonkey, but it does work very well
with Firefox 34.0.5, and "user agent overrider 0.2.4," set to Windows/Firefox 29.
