I can verify that the method I mentioned above will work.
I will try the suggestions mentioned other wis e i will have to get a win 7 partition just for tv when travelling
I have a slingbox in UK which i connect to when oevrseas, the browser plugins for firefox, chrome etc are no longer operated by slingplayer, you have to use their desk top portal software which is a shame And, depending upon the smartphone or other device (computer and its OS) you can mirror or cast whatever is playing to your smart devices. Using a hardware device like a smart TV or Blu-Ray player, TV stick or Box, even some game consoles will work well for this check for this particular application though. Google Chrome and other Chromium based browsers seem to work better for streaming TV.
For example, you can be using Linux Mint with Firefox and tell the user agent to inform websites that you are using MS Windows OS and Internet Explorer or Edge browsers, or Android and some browser, etc. These "user agent switcher" browser extension add-ons basically tell a website that you are using a different computer operating system and browser than the one you are actually using. Tip: some websites may require using a browser "user agent switcher" because of their antiquated design (or worse purposely), does not recognize Linux and certain browsers. I am not familiar with this player, is this for Sling TV or something else?Ĭan't you view the programming through a browser? For more information, please refer to your locale's Slingbox Warranty.Although the Linux Wine system is very innovative and works very well for some things, it does represent a security risk.
