MC on Rasperry Pi with Amazon Prime Video
« on: April 28, 2017, 10:23:53 am »

Is Amazon prime video working on the Linux version? If so, does it have SD and HD support?
Thanks!

Don't think so. Netflix probably doesn't work either as I believe the CEF version of Chromium and the Widevine CDM plugin (which is required for Netflix/Amazon video playback) isn't available for the Mac or Linux versions of MC, if I recall correctly.

Thanks, too bad. Assuming, that it works in Chrome: using an other browser than chromium is out of scope I suppose!?

I'm not sure any of the webviewing functionality is implemented in MC for Linux yet, but on windows it's either chromium or IE.

The good news for linux users generally is that netflix is now working in firefox, but that doesn't help at all with MC's web integration.

On Linux distros Netflix will work in both Chrome (and Chromium if that's available and has the Widevine CDM plugin) and Firefox. Probably Opera and Vivaldi as well if they have the Widevine CDM plugin, since they're based on Chromium.

No, MC integration with Chromium (CEF) + the Widevine CDM isn't possible on Mac and Linux right now. It's not known whether or not this is something that can be done in the future or not as each OS would probably need its own CEF version + Widevine plugin.

In general with the actual web browsers, Netflix and Amazon Video should work fine in Chrome/Chromium/Opera/Vivaldi/Firefox (with the Widevine CDM).

Ok, thanks. But what I don't get: if it's not possible on Linux, how does it work then with MC on a raspberry pi?

It doesn't.

What the person above probably meant is it works in Firefox (the browser). MC doesn't use Firefox (or Gecko, its engine) at all - Chromium would be the only choice on non-Windows platforms, if it's ever supported on Linux and Mac. As mwillems said above, the web viewing stuff (which would require a browser engine integrated, e.g. Chromium) isn't in the Mac or Linux MC.
