This block is now staged.

Comment 2

[Paul Silaghi, QA [:pauly]]

Silverlight 5.1.10411.0 is blocked on Win.
Silverlight 5.1.20125.0 is not blocked on Win.
Didn't find more versions between them to test.
Also, should the block apply on Mac too?

The Windows CTP blocks will cover >95% of users for now, let's not block on that. We can always file followup bugs, since they'll require new testing.

Can we call this verified? Did Netflix function properly even when CTP'd?

Yes.

Netflix is N/A outside of the US.
But http://www.vectorlight.net/games/sandmania.aspx and http://www.imagesurf.net/ work fine.

I asked Tyler to check the Netflix use case on staging for you, Alex.

Firefox 19.0.2 + Silverlight 5.1.10411.0 is CTP blocked on Netflix.
Firefox 19.0.2 + Silverlight 5.1.20125.0 is not blocked on Netflix.

I see Jorge has already pushed the block live but at least we have confidence in this use case.

Unfortunately, due to caching, this will not be on production in time for me to test today. Paul, can you please make sure you test the live blocklist first thing when you start your day tonight?

Thank you

I've tested this in production using 19.0.2 on WinXP and Win7 visiting Netflix:
5.1.10411.0
- CTP Blocked
- Highlighted in red as out of date in about:addons
- I can click to play and continue viewing
- I can select to update and when I visit the plugin update page I get offered to download the latest version (32bit for XP, 64bit for Win7).
- Latest version is not CTP blocked

5.1.20125.0
- Is not CTP blocked

This should also apply to Mac, but it isn't CTP blocked at the moment.
