As a BT subscriber I have activated the BTSport app.
Not entirely to my surprise when I just tried to watch the first live game using Firefox it told me it won't run without Silverlight.
So a question : can I get Silverlight to run on openSUSE (using 12.3 64 bit) ?
Will Moonlight do this, and if so can I get it to run on Firefox or Chrome ?
A friend of mine tried Moonlight for watching F1 on the Sky streaming service - it's a non starter for that due to the subscription based DRM, so far as he can establish, and I can't see that BTSport would be any different.
I have not done any research on this yet as I am shortly going out to a live football match. I thought I'd just try it to see if it works.
FWIW I have it running on a W7 box at the moment and its no great shakes on there having dropped out a couple of times already, and this running BT Infinity on a well maintained quite high spec box. It is my son's gaming box and is no slouch.
I wouldn't be surprised if the server side wasn't up to the load.
Any thoughts about the central issue ie can I do it with Moonlight or something else on openSUSE ?
I know I could run it on Windows in a vm or get the BT tv box but I'm not that bothered to do either of those things.
One of these is likely the only option, unless you can convince BTSport to stream Flash or (preferably) HTML5 video. Dylan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
