    Thanks Kirill, this works great here (on 2.5 smile )
    Please consider the validation warnings @ https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=filter_silverlight&validation=1

    The one about README.txt should be addressed before sharing this.

    I've added a Bug tracker url based on your github link. If that's not what you want do feel free to change it.
