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.
|
|
|
|
Listen to Spotify
|
|
=================
|
|
Install-Howto: https://www.spotify.com/de/download/linux/
|
|
|
|
Detailed steps:
|
|
|
|
1) sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys BBEBDCB318AD50EC6865090613B00F1FD2C19886
|
|
2) echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
|
|
3) sudo apt-get update
|
|
4) sudo apt-get install spotify-client
|
|
|
|
I could then start the native spotify client .. easy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Play Netflix
|
|
============
|
|
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/
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
2) unpack the downloaded file
|
|
tar -xjf firefox-53.0.2.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
3) move the unpacked folder:
|
|
sudo mv firefox /opt/firefox53
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
5) Launch firefox and open Preferences, Content and enable "Play DRM content"
|
|
That's it, login into Netflix and enjoy.

How to use Amazon Prime
|
|
=======================
|
|
If you have setup everything to watch netflix (see above), Amazon Prime should also work.
|
|
Enjoy"

|
Play DVDs
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
5) Shutdown the Debian Template VM and launch your multimedia App VM
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
8) Open DVD within VLC:
|
|
Media > Open Disk
|
|
You can leave the defaults (/dev/sr0) and just hit play
|
|
|
|
Enjoy your DVD
