HBO Nordic will not play videos on Q4os

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have been strugeling the past days to get HBO Nordic to play videos. When i start an episode it will start an endless load loop. It requires flash player and chrome has the latest in Q4OS. I tried to manualy install firefox and flash player but failed. I got iceweasel installed but same problem there. I googled and found somthing called pipelight but failed to get that to install.

could you help me ?

The best way to install Firefox in Q4OS is to use installer from Q4OS downloads site: http://www.q4os.org/downloads1.html . It will automatically setup flashplayer too.

Wow firefox was staring me in the face and i did not notice your download link. Sorry about that:) I downloaded firefox but it has the same issue. Maby you can help me get pipelight installed ? It has Debian Jessie support but i get an error when trying to install the package with "sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi"

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pipelight-multi : Depends: wine-staging
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I think wine-staging needed is i386 arcitechture, tried "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" but that does not seam to do anything.

hope you can help, this is the last dent in Q4os Massive armor.

URL to pipelight debian install : http://pipelight.net/cms/install/installation-debian.html

thanks for all help

You have to update packages cache. Do 'sudo apt-get update' after adding i386 architecture, then 'pipelight-multi' will be installable 'sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi'

did and quadruple checked now with "sudo apt-get update" still same error message :

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

is this because im running the 64bit version of Q4OS?

[Q4OS Team]

No, we have successfully tested Pipelight setup on fresh 64bit Q4OS-1.2 installation, no error has been reported. The exact procedure:

1. Add Pipelight key
   $ wget http://repos.fds-team.de/Release.key
   $ sudo apt-key add Release.key

2. Add Pipelight repository:
   $ echo 'deb http://repos.fds-team.de/stable/debian/ jessie main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pipelight.list

3. Add i386 architecture and update cache:
   $ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
   $ sudo apt-get update

4. Install:
   $ sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi

Hmm same wine-staging problem, when following your procedure. I am using Q4OS as the main OS since i installed it so i have downloaded alot. i guess ill have to reinstall the whole ting and try again.

last question, did you install wine or was this as clean as it gets no package no nothing first thing you do after install ?

Thanks for helping out and making this great os :)

The setup has been performed on fresh Q4OS installation, no additional packages installed, everything goes well. No conflict on wine installation later.

It seems pipelight-multi conflicts with wine-staging:amd64 and some 64bit packages from pipelight repository, which you have installed on the first attempt. You should try to remove it for example:
$ sudo apt-get remove wine-staging
and then, once more:
$ sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi
