Sky Go does not work anymore: If you’ve seen this annoyance as an online user of the pay-TV provider Sky, it may be because you’re using the Google Chrome browser. With the update to version 45 the developers have completely blocked the Silverlight plugin used in Sky Go. In other words, the Chromium project has been approved by the NPAPI interface for the first time in September 2017 for safety reasons. For Silverlight and Sky Go.
Since the beginning of the year, the developers have introduced the end of the NPAPI interface to Chrome. With Chrome 42 extensions such as Silverlight and Java were blocked by default from April 2017 onwards. Users had the option to reactivate the functions as required. That’s all there now. As Chrome updates itself automatically, it is also not possible to “upgrade” an older version for Sky Go.
Lesetipp: Edge vs. FIrefox & Chrome
Sky has stated to netzwelt.de that it is working on the problem. Supposedly the developers were in final tests and could present a solution soon. The solution should be called HTML5. Sky announced this at the end of June. There is not yet a start date for the conversion. Meanwhile, plagued users will have no choice but to change the browser for Sky Go - such as Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer. The Windows 10 Edge browser does not support Silverlight either.
If you're experiencing similar problems with Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video, or Maxdome on Chrome, you can switch to Flash or better HTML5 in the streaming services settings, depending on the provider of Silverlight. Sky Go does not offer such a possibility yet.
