You can install GStreamer using the package manager of most popular Linux.
Unfortunately, the current Flashpoint for Linux package only supports Flash and HTML5. If you need assistance with installing or playing, visit us at flashpoint-mac-linux-help. This page describes the current state of our Linux support.
You might be barring a lot of potential users as a lot of people are fed up with Microsoft with Win 10 fiasco and are either going back to Win 7 or over to Linux Ubuntu like I did just over 3 months ago. This also enables playback of formats such as Flash, Silverlight, QuickTime. Linux support in Flashpoint is currently experimental due to a lack of maintainers. Why not get it to work on HTML5 now and capture more users to your service ? So when Silverlight is retired then you will get it to run on HTML5 ?
I use Linux on an Alienware i7 Laptop 2.2Ghz Turbo 3.3Ghz (No this is not overclocked), 16GB Ram, SSD etc and I doubt you could call that very old hardware - Hmmm, actually it is - lol - just over 5 years, but you can't say its not powerful enough, it can quite happily play 1080p content.Īdmittedly using VLC player but there's certainly no issue with the performance of Linux machines, especially since most TV Top set boxes run Linux and although I cannot confirm it, I believe the Skyboxes run it too !Īlso Android and MacOS also run on a heavily modified version of Linux too ! Only when Safari and IE stop support for silverlight will HTML5 be used on all systems but don't expect HD with out DRM compliant drivers and Intell and AMD is not any were near ready on linux to supply the required drivers as linux is run on some very very old hardware.
Silverlight is still a requirement to watch 720p and Higher content protected with DRM. This is because ZERO day DRM levels for TV, FILMS and SPORT events that content providers add that matter are Higher requirement DRM levels than 3 year old movies which no body would pay for any more any way that are shown on Freeview channels IPTV. This will install the Moonlight plugin for Firefox along with. Ubuntu Lucid Lynx has the package, and it can be installed through the Ubuntu Software Center or with the command line: sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-core moonlight-plugin-mozilla. breaking the reverse engineered versions.ĭispite the myth HTML5 would bring DRM GPU drivers to all browsers on all systems thats still a myth as it does not,ĭRM on Linux Drivers Is NOT compliant with Windows Or Mac driver levels, So even HTML5 DRM is not going to be compliant. If youre running a distribution that’s already got a Moonlight package, you’re in luck. You can't view on linux as Linux never Supported Silverlight from Microsoft at all and Third party recodes do not support DRM changes Microsoft added to silverlights DRM. which is why theres a free trial for content first.
