[WLUG] Washtenaw Linux Users Group Meeting 10/17/2019 8:00pm

[Shawn Hughes]

1)  youtube not playing at all on xubuntu firefox.
Hmm, I primarily use Chromium (it works).  I booted up an old machine 
having Mint LMDE 'Betsy' (debian Jessie) + Firefox at v63:  Youtube works.
Can only guess you may be missing some non-free (not open-source) 
packages necessary to play the videos.

2) streaming from Firefox to TV
Will probably need more info about the TV side:
It is probably some sort of 'streaming stick' (chromecast, Roku, 
Fire-TV, etc.).
It may be baked into the TV software, or be a small device with HDMI 
output connected to TV or projector.
Some have a iOS / Android App published by the device manufacture 
designed to stream from phone to TV.
And perhaps (most likely Google Chrome -> Chromecast) from a browser on 
Windows or Mac to a the TV.

An Internet search for [ chromecast  linux firefox ] did turn up some 
results, but I've not vetted nor tried any of them.
And of course, you might be working with a different streaming device.
