Hello gort818 and qtwebflix,

Thank you for providing this cool application for everyone to use.

Do you know if this can be used with DirectTV streaming which also requires the user-agent set to MS Windows from Linux computers? If so, what are the exact instructions?

+1 for providing a PPA or pre-compiled binaries for this application. I am using Linux Mint 18.3 based on Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 19 based on Ubuntu 18.04 and it works on Linux Mint 19, have not tested 18.x yet. I also use Linux KDE Neon based on Ubuntu 18.04 and it works on that too.

Best regards to you and yours,

Phil (phd21)

Hey there, I am not sure if DirectTV streaming will work, never tested it and cannot.

I would love to set up a PPA just cant seem to find the time.

I do not think mint 18.3 as qtwebengine, so you are out of luck there. I just updated a test branch adding command line options

Options:
  -h, --help                   Displays this help.
  -v, --version                Displays version information.
  -p, --provider <provider>    Set content provider eg. netflix.com
  -u, --useragent <useragent>  change useragent eg. "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT
                               10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
                               Gecko) Chrome/67.0.2526.73 Safari/537.36"

If you want to test it out here you go https://github.com/gort818/qtwebflix/tree/commandline

./qtwebflix -p www.directvnow.com -u "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT
                               10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
