Hi everyone,
I've been using Kodi on my own laptop for a year or so now and have decided to invest in some hardware that will be predominately dedicated to it. After debating and researching I thought that it would make more sense to just post and get some help from the community.
This is what I'm wanting to get out of my set up.
1)Stream movies and tv shows pretty much flawlessly (currently do so on Genesis)
2)Stream the live sports that I have paid subscriptions to
3)Play the movie/music files in my personal library
I've gravitated towards a chromebox, but point #2 I have not been able to fully figure out which has made me hesitant to move forward.
My current subscriptions are MLB.tv, Tennis TV, and Sportsnet World Online (EPL soccer in Canada). Reading around the internet it seems like MLB.tv has been figured out but the other two I'm unsure. Below are the requirements of each;
Tennis TV
Minimum Internet Explorer 8.0, Google Chrome Version 34.0 or Firefox version 3, with the latest Macromedia Flash Player plugin. It requires Flash Player 10 or later installed.
Sportsnet World Online
One of the following operating systems: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP (32-bit) or Mac OSX 10.8 and above.
One of the following browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 and above: http://www.microsoft.com/ie
- Mozilla Firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
- Google Chrome: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/
- Safari 6 and above (Mac only): http://support.apple.com/downloads/#safari
Macromedia Flash Player 6 or higher: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
Both have android apps that run the content if that makes a difference.
Is this at all possible to do on a Chromebox or should I save myself the headache and build a htpc that runs Windows?
Thanks everyone!
