This short howto will explain how you can use Spotify, Netflix or Amazon Prime under Qubes OS.
|
||||
This steps have been tested by providing an own "multimedia" App VM which is based on the Qubes OS Debian 8 Template VM.
|
||||
Multimedia
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
Listen to Spotify
|
||||
=================
|
||||
Install-Howto: https://www.spotify.com/de/download/linux/
|
||||
In order to choose Qubes OS as your primary OS it must be able to do all tasks, including playing multimedia content.
|
||||
This howto explains how to create a multimedia temmplate which can be used to play multimedia content.
|
||||
This includes:
|
||||
|
||||
Detailed steps which must be run in the Debian 8 template VM.
|
||||
A good idea might be to clone the existing Debian 8 template and create an own debian-8-multimedia template from whoch you can then create an App-VM.
|
||||
You need to make sure that you allow networking to the internet during installation, as you need to download some data which are not from the default repositories.
|
||||
- Spotify
|
||||
- Amazon Prime
|
||||
- Netflix
|
||||
- DVDs
|
||||
|
||||
# Become root

|
||||
echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
|
||||
# Make the new repository known to your system
|
||||
apt-get update
|
||||
# Install the Spotify Client
|
||||
apt-get install -y spotify-client
|
||||
Hint: This first draft of this howto was written under Qubes OS 3.2 but it should also work for Qubes 4rc4.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Play Netflix
|
||||
============
|
||||
You can play Netflix by installing a more recent version of firefox or by installing Google Chroome.
|
||||
As Google Chrome will play video from Netflx and (!) Amazon, the suggestion is to install Google Chrome.
|
||||
If you don't use Amazon Prime, Firefox will work.
|
||||
Start by cloning the default debian template in dom0.
|
||||
Hint:
|
||||
t-multimedia is just the template VM where we will install all packages.
|
||||
In the last step we will create an AppVM from this template.
|
||||
|
||||
Install Firefox
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
The built in Firefox (from the Debian Template VM) was Firefox ESR 45.3.0
|
||||
According to the "supported browser" list Mozilla Firefox >= 47.x is needed.
|
||||
I've thereoff installed Firefox v53.0.2 according to this manual:
|
||||
http://libre-software.net/how-to-install-firefox-on-ubuntu-linux-mint/
|
||||
`qvm-clone debian-9 t-multimedia`
|
||||
|
||||
1) download firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?scene=2
|
||||
direct download link:
|
||||
https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/53.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-53.0.2.tar.bz2
|
||||
As we need to install some package outside of the regular repositories you need to enable networking for the Template VM.
|
||||
|
||||
2) unpack the downloaded file
|
||||
tar -xjf firefox-53.0.2.tar.bz2
|
||||
`qvm-prefs --set t-multimedia netvm sys-firewall`
|
||||
|
||||
3) move the unpacked folder:
|
||||
sudo mv firefox /opt/firefox53
|
||||
Launch a Terminal in the new template VM:
|
||||
|
||||
4) Create a symlink to the new firefox version:
|
||||
if you want to use the new installed firefox as "standard firefox", rename the original link in case you want to go back to the previous version
|
||||
sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old
|
||||
Create a link to the new firefox version
|
||||
sudo ln -s /opt/firefox53/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
|
||||
`qvm-run --auto t-multimedia gnome-terminal`
|
||||
|
||||
5) Launch firefox and open Preferences, Content and enable "Play DRM content"
|
||||
That's it, login into Netflix and enjoy.
|
||||
Important:
|
||||
Enter all the following commands in the terminal of the template VM
|
||||
|
||||
Become the root user to run all follwoing command without the need to use sudo
|
||||
|
||||
`sudo -i`
|
||||
|
||||

How to use Amazon Prime
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
Playing Video thorugh Amazon Prime via Firefox didn't work, with Google Chrome it works.
|
||||
Warning: You need to install Google Chrome, not Chromium.
|
||||
Installation of VLC
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Install Google Chrome
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
Launch you Debian 8 Template VM
|
||||
To play DVDs you can install VLC with the needed Codecs
|
||||
|
||||
1) Download latest .deb-package of Google Chrome
|
||||
wget -c wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

|
||||
|
||||
4) Shutdown Template VM
|
||||
Add repositories to install VLC and libdvdcss
|
||||
`echo "deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list`
|
||||
`echo "deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list`
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Install libdvdcss and VLC
|
||||
`apt-get install -y libdvdcss2 vlc`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installation Google Chrome
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Play DVDs
|
||||
=========
|
||||
To play Videos with Netflix, Amazon Prime & Co using Chrome is a good option as it has all needed codecs included.
|
||||
Hint: Using Chromium will not work for some reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
To play DVDs within Qubes I have used my new multimedia App VM (which can also play Spotify and Netflix, see post from yesterday).
|
||||
The multimedia App-VM is based on the Debian 8 Template in Qubes 3.2
|
||||
|
||||
Some suggested to install the whole desktop within the Debian Image, I don't want to install everything but only the stuff, that is really needed.
|
||||
As such I have looked at the Debian documentation
|
||||
Download Google Chrome package from the Google Debian repository
|
||||
|
||||
1) Launch Debian 8 Template VM and install the Qubes Proxy Tools, so that you can pass your (external?) DVD-Drive via sys-usb to the multimedia App-VM. Strangely the qubes-usb-proxy seems to be installed within the fedora template but not in the debian template.
|
||||
In Debian Template VM:
|
||||
sudo apt-get install qubes-usb-proxy
|
||||
`wget -c https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb`
|
||||
|
||||
2) Install libdbdread4 from the default repositories:
|
||||
In Debian Template VM:
|
||||
apt-get install libdvdread4
|
||||
|
||||
3) Install libdvdcss for the decryption of CSS protected-DVDs.
|
||||
Because of license restrictions in various countries this can't be done from the Debian repositories but needs to be installed manually.
|
||||
(not that hard :-)).
|
||||
Download the packaged .deb from: http://www.deb-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/package/libdvdcss2
|
||||
In Debian Template VM:
|
||||
wget http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.3.0-dmo1_amd64.deb
|
||||
sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.3.0-dmo1_amd64.deb
|
||||
FIXME: Howto verify the debian package or better adding a Google Debian package repository?
|
||||
Link: https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/
|
||||
|
||||
4) I like to use VLC to playback Video/DVDs - you might want to use another player, but VLC works fine.
|
||||
As this is not installed in the default Debian Template:
|
||||
In Debian Template VM:
|
||||
sudo apt-get install vlc
|
||||
This will also install some dependencies.
|
||||
1st attempt to install the downloaded package
|
||||
|
||||
5) Shutdown the Debian Template VM and launch your multimedia App VM
|
||||
`dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb`
|
||||
|
||||
6) Plugin your external USB DVD-Drive (if you don't have an internal drive) and pass it to the multimedia App VM
|
||||
In dom0:
|
||||
qvm-usb -a multimedia sys-usb:3-6
|
||||
Installer will quit with an error message as not all dependencies are met (yet):
|
||||
|
||||
7) Launch VLC
|
||||
qvm-run multimedia vlc
|
||||
Warning: a window will open in the background which will ask for collecting metadata information.
|
||||
I haven't seen the window as it was covered by the VLC main window, so that I couldn't launch any commands in this window.
|
||||
> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-chrome-stable:
|
||||
> google-chrome-stable depends on fonts-liberation; however:
|
||||
> Package fonts-liberation is not installed.
|
||||
> google-chrome-stable depends on libappindicator1; however:
|
||||
> Package libappindicator1 is not installed.
|
||||
> dpkg: error processing package google-chrome-stable (--install):
|
||||
> dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
|
||||
> (...)
|
||||
> Errors were encountered while processing:
|
||||
> google-chrome-stable
|
||||
|
||||
8) Open DVD within VLC:
|
||||
Media > Open Disk
|
||||
You can leave the defaults (/dev/sr0) and just hit play
|
||||
Install the missing dependencies for Google Chrome
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy your DVD
|
||||
`apt-get -f upgrade`
|
||||
|
||||
(This will install: fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libdbusmenu-glib4 libdbusmenu-gtk4 libindicator7 libxss1)
|
||||
|
||||
After the dependencies are installed rerun package installation of Chrome
|
||||
|
||||
`dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb`
|
||||
|
||||
Clean up the mess and shutdown your multimedia template VM
|
||||
|
||||
`rm google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && shutdown -h now`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Create a Multimedia AppVM
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
After you have created the multimedia AppVM template you can create an AppVM for daily use based on it
|
||||
|
||||
`qvm-create --template=t-multimedia --label=orange multimedia`
|
||||
|
||||
Add Google Chrome, VLC and Spotify to the AppVM Menu via "add/remove app shortcuts"
|
||||
