I don't even use the second Android box that comes with my Mini 4K so I don't know much about the media capabilities.

I wonder if they know about openSUSE :-(, but I may ask. I know it's possible with mini 4k (an other box of the same FAI) thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

thanks jdd Over here ( Netherlands ) most providers have a special channel for Netflix. Furthermore, we would need more specs about your setup.

ComHem in Sweden have a special channel that also needs a special box. Really. In this day and age, a special box. At first I thought it was April 1. I decided the easiest thing was to use an inexpensive ChromeCast to access Netflix and Spotify. Everything else was too much fiddling with things for what one got. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

yes, I can do that, but I don't completely understand chromecast working. Is the device streaming directly from the net or do it need a computer (openSUSE?) or a smartphone as source? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It streams to the ChromeCast device. You need a phone or computer to control it. You pair the phone with the chromecast unit(s). Then, when you cast something, it lists the ones it currently finds, and you send the content there. In the phone/tablet, you install the Netflix app. When you view something, you have the option to cast it somewhere else to view it. Really simple. I believe that in the Chrome browser you can cast anything that is shown in the browser. I have not tried that. I use my phone as the remote to control the ChromeCast device. It really works well. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes the Chrome browser does this, I don't know whether Chromium does as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have 5 Chromecast at home. I pretty much stream all TV and our own content (remote and local) to Chromecast. It's quite easy to to stream your own content thru some simple webpage. There is also a few apps that can send compatible video content out there on internet to your local chromecast. I use "Web Video Caster" [1].

No, because you are using attached PGP signature, and I use inline. O rather, Alpine does.

No, his answer is about my side question: how to view video files stored on my computer, on my sitting room main TV set. RPI: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi> That's an interesting idea, but I would have to learn how setup an RPI, which I don't.

Complete with wireless mini keyboard - but I don't feel inclined to repeat the setup on the sitting room. Thus, it can display streaming videos on it.

Carlos, there are ready made instructions for all kinds of Kodi images. Incl. updaters etc. openSUSE (at least TW) even has the package osmcinstaller which downloads an image and prepares a MicroSD card, The rest is putting the card in the Pi, connect and boot it and you're up and running. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

Well, I tried Amazon PrimeVideo on my media center running openSUSE 42.2 With Firefox, it said that I had to update Firefox, and gave the worthless typical instructions for going to the about box and choosing update. So instead I tried Chrome. This one was accepted, and I tried a video: got sound, but no video, not even the controls to pause, advance, etc. So it does not work (se below). I try on my laptop again (last time was months ago). Firefox remembers my last session on PrimeVideo and the credentials seem to be active, but when I try to play the same video FF complains that it doesn't understand the protocol. I try Chrome instead - PrimeVideo is not in the history, so it appears that it was FireFox what I used here and it worked. I login in Chrome, and Chrome works (the version is a bit older than in my home media server, though - I'm in the process now of updating the laptop). So, there is some issue on my media center with Amazon PrimeVideo. Oh, wait, I try again and it works (Chrome), so go figure. I don't have a Netflix account, so I can't try it, unless there is some demo service :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

I currently use a Cubi N minicomputer with openSUSE as home server and media center on my computer room, running openSUSE. Complete with wireless mini keyboard - but I don't feel inclined to repeat the setup on the sitting room.
Thus, it can display streaming videos on it. I think I can see Amazon Prime videos, but I don't have a Netflix account to try.
Carlos: I was playing around with vlc and it has the capability of streaming video. The setup is straightforward and requires vlc on both computers and the video file on the server computer. https://www.howtogeek.com/118075/how-to-stream-videos-and-music-over-the-net... also, in case you miss this in the tutorial, how to turn on vlc web interface: https://www.howtogeek.com/117261/how-to-activate-vlcs-web-interface-control-... I hope this solution is what you were looking for. Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

An Rpi with f.e. Kodi can do the job fine as well. Simply export your media folders through NFS, mount it in Kodi. Works fine here. And is a fairly cheap solution.
netflix is only available through browser, not as video file, so why we have to export a firefox (or chrome) windows

I have 5 Chromecast at home. I pretty much stream all TV and our own content (remote and local) to Chromecast. It's quite easy to to stream your own content thru some simple webpage.
I'm interested in this part: viewing video files that are on my computer on the main room TV.
Could you expand on it?
Hi Carlos, Sorry for the incredibly late reply. Been away for work. I want it to be generic (same on my servers, wherever they are) so I install a small webserver on my laptop, usually lighttpd and conf it for my video dir. Create a html-file with video-tag. Then use the app in [1]. You point the app to your webserver (laptop) and choose a file (compatible with chromecast) and away you go. example of tag for video and subtitle <video id="video" controls preload="metadata"> <source src="your.video.mkv" type="video/mp4"> <track label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="your.video.vtt" default> </video> There are plugins that do this native in your browser if you want. I heard that VLC is about to get this working and with transcoding. That's nice. regards,
There is also a few apps that can send compatible video content out there on internet to your local chromecast. I use "Web Video Caster" [1].
