[RESOLVED] a few silverlight issues

Post by al_9x »

xp32sp3, fx 3.6.3, ns 1.9.9.85, sl 4.0.50401.0

A few times when going (browser) back to pages with silverlight on that site, the video player had not been blocked. It must be timing, I can repro this very infrequently on the main profile and so far not at all on a new one. Not holding out a lot of hope for this one, but you should be aware, just in case. The instantiation is somewhat peculiar, object tag with inline "data:"

I did notice, in the process, that even when blocked, npctrl.dll, was being loaded (consistently, new profile) by Fx. As I remember, you introduced patching to prevent that. I thought maybe this is due to a different instantiation technique, but npctrl.dll is loaded also here and here, where a more typical Silverlight.createObject is used.

No placeholder here

Had it been already allowed at least once in that session?
