How to stream movies in BionicPup32 8.0?

#1 Post by Scrappy Doo »

There is only one website I use regularly for movies that will not stream with my Pup as is.

How would I go about finding out what driver I would need to stream?

could the problem be something completely separate?

What exact version of Puppy?
Give us the address of the web site?
What program are you using to do the streaming in?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Which Puppy? Which browser? Some specs of your computer will
help as well, like CPU, amount of RAM, how you connect to internet?
Myself, I use ScPup 32 bit, with different DE's (like now I'm using LXQT)
and for web browser I prefer Palemoon...no problems streaming what
little streaming I do. Most of the time I'm on my ancient Acer Aspire One
AOA150, 1.6 gHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1 gig RAM, 120 meg HD, all
my Puppys are "frugal" installed to directories on HD, multi-boot with
WinXP SP3 Home, all connect via WiFi, Atheros onboard chip, connected
to hotspot of wife's smartphone.

That web site says it supports Chromecast

Try using this browser.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81351
Make sure to get the 32bit version.

This Chromium browser is packaged as an sfs.
Do you know how to load an sfs package to use it?

This talks about using it for fullmoonfeatures.

Sorry, I had to log off for a bit...

No, I do not know how to load an sfs , can you direct me to a thread that explains it, or tell me yourself? Any help would be greatly appreciated

@Scrappy - you might like to try 32bit firefox-esr - with it I can run a trailer on the fullmoonfeatures.com site.
50 mb download, then click on .pet in ROX-Filer to install. Run from 'Internet' menu. Is here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/ffd73e

Thank you for all the help everyone!

ozsouth: that link sent me somewhere that wanted an account opened and after set up asked for a CC. Thank you, but I am on an old system not worth spending on, so I passed on that option.

Flash: Thank you for this! when I get a sec. to really sit down and soak it in, i will download the chromium package, and open it with the sfs info you have supplied me with! This fits my general PC scheme perfect. I am going to use this old systems hard drive to try out all the lightweight software I have read of, then just pull out the HD and run it as a live machine until i upgrade, and by the time i will know what software i like/need, AND (hopefully!) will have a decent grasp on running the Command Line.

That link to info on sfs pakaging is OK.
But this is all you need to do.

Download the sfs package to /mnt/home
menu->Setup->SFS-load-on-the-fly
Use this program to load or unload the sfs package.
Select a listed sfs.
Select load.

To unload.
Select a listed loaded sfs.
Select unload.
