Watch videos in another platform beyond youtube in minecraft [HELP] #39

Closed vini290 closed 5 years ago

vini290 commented 5 years ago

I've downloaded and installed Web Displays on my minecraft and everything works fine except by one thing... if I try to watch a video from any website which isn't youtube, the video is not supported( for example: I've tried to watch netflix with my friends and I can't, vimeo also don't work). I've notice that JCEF doesn't support some codecs and I think that's why this is happening.

Could anybody help me with that? The main reason I'm posting this is because I want to watch netflix in minecraft. Does somebody have a hint? What should I do? I do appreciate any help.

Short answer: No because of Netflix DRM & cookie session auth Long answer: MCEF cannot have plugins https://arcolinux.com/how-to-play-netflix-in-your-chromium-browser/ & your friends need to also have your netflix login details. The stream is init from the client side - check your own logs and you'll see when you enter range/start a youtube stream
