Mixture Video/ Purevid

Wed Nov 27, 2013 11:55 am

Hi,

I got my RPi type B yesterday and im really deissapointed about it.
I made a lot searches and i didn't got any way to watch streaming videos online like mixturevideo or purevid.
Is ther a way to do it?
I brought the RPi only for that ... :(

raspbian doesn't support flash... and (sorry for the people that really like it) but XBMC suck so much!!! it is absolutely not fluid and not fast at all when you want to watch a video on youtube for example. The search/loading time in incredibly long. ( i have a 140mbps connection and connected with a cable on the RPi)

If someone know something to watch my stream videos online it should be really nice! :D

Thx a lot for reading

Maybe Minimal Kiosk Browser can solve your problems. It works with all video websites that are supported by youtube-dl (quite a lot besides youtube). You can browse the site as you are used to and then click the play icon in the toolbar (on the site containing the video) to start the video within 3 to 6 seconds. It will play full screen with omxplayer.

(Look at the end of the Minimal Kiosk Browser thread for an updated kwebhelper.py script which works with more video websites than the current version 1.2. It will be included in the upcoming new version 1.3).

The browser can be used from the Desktop or started from the command line.

What do you mean? I'm using it every day and watch youtube or German TV websites (e. g. ZDF Mediathek) without any problem.

Are you running Raspbian? Did you install youtube-dl (and update it)? Did you read the manual?

The very latest builds of XBMC (use the nightly's) has some speed improvement that may help.

Just had a look at these websites. There's no information about the streaming method. If they only support flash and no direct stream links or HTML5 video, you have no chance to use them on the RPi.
