Simurgh5 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hey people,does anyone have any experience using Silverlight and an eGPU?With my setup (see signature), Silverlight does not work, when I have the eGPU connected. I know that Silverlight always switches to the dGPU and sometimes I also have trouble with Silverlight and the NVIDIA Webdriver (the switch just turns off the LCD backlight). But as long as the eGPU is there, Silverlight will always state "plugin error".I'd appreciate very much if you could share your experiences or even solutions.Cheers,Simurgh5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morv Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I confirm this problem. If the display connected to the eGPU is the main screen then every Silverlight content will show "plugin error". As long as the internal screen is the main one it's fine even on the eGPU display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simurgh5 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I had the theory that Silverlight tries to apply some kind of security so that one won't redirect the display stream and do evil stuff like recording it. I also observed Silverlight to be very sensitive to any changing of the screen configuration (like adding a monitor) while it is running – that was before the eGPU. I have the feeling this is more than bad programming. I assume it's a feature for the silverlight host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
