Multimedia
Note: This Howto has been written and was tested under Qubes 4rc4
You can consolidate most of your media streaming tasks into one "multimedia" App-VM. This howto explains how to create a multimedia temmplate which can be used to play multimedia content. This includes:
- Spotify
- Amazon Prime
- Netflix
- DVDs
Installation
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.
qvm-clone debian-9 t-multimedia
Launch a Terminal in the new template VM:
qvm-run --auto t-multimedia gnome-terminal
Important: Enter all the following commands in the terminal of the template VM Become the root user to run all following command without the need to use sudo in the multimedia template VM
sudo -i
Installation of Spotify
Import GPG-Key for spotify As the template VM can't connect to internet you need to get the public key file from another AppVM and copy it to the template VM. The easiest way is to use the Qubes Clipboard to copy the keys from the AppVM where you get the key to the Template VM.
In an AppVM which has Internet access:
- Open http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xEFDC8610341D9410
- Copy content of page to the Qubes Clipboard (Ctrl+C and then Shift+Ctrl+C)
Switch to the gnome terminal in the Multimedia Template VM
nano spotify.pubkey
Paste the content from the Qubes Clipboard into nano (Shift+Ctrl+V and then Paste) Save the file (Ctrl+O Ctrl+X)
Add the public key to the repository keyring
apt-key add spotify.pubkey
Verify Fingerprint with
apt-key finger spotify
You can (and should) lookup the fingerprint on the keyserver:
http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xEFDC8610341D9410&fingerprint=on
Add the Spotify repository to your list of package sources:
echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
Update the list of all known packages
apt-get update
Install Spotify
apt-get install -y spotify-client
Create a spotify desktop-entry
cp -p /usr/share/spotify/spotify.desktop /usr/share/applications/
cp /usr/share/spotify/icons/spotify-linux-16.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/spotify.png
Installation of VLC
To play DVDs you can install VLC with the needed Codecs
Download the public key which signs the VLC package repositories In an AppVM which has Internet access:
- Open http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6BCA5E4DB84288D9
- Copy content of page to the Qubes Clipboard (Ctrl+C and then Shift+Ctrl+C)
Switch to the gnome terminal in the Multimedia Template VM
nano vlc.pubkey
Paste the content from the Qubes Clipboard into nano (Shift+Ctrl+V and then Paste) Save the file (Ctrl+O Ctrl+X)
Add the public key to the repository keyring
apt-key add vlc.pubkey
Verify Fingerprint with
apt-key finger VideoLAN
You can (and should) lookup the fingerprint on the keyserver:
http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xB84288D9&fingerprint=on
Add the new VLC package repositories to your list of sources
echo "deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vlc.list
echo "deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vlc.list
Update package repositories
apt-get update
Install libdvdcss and VLC
apt-get install -y libdvdcss2 vlc
Installation Google Chrome
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.
Download the public key which signs the Google package repositories In an AppVM which has Internet access:
- Open http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7721F63BD38B4796
- Copy content of page to the Qubes Clipboard (Ctrl+C and then Shift+Ctrl+C)
Switch to the gnome terminal in the Multimedia Template VM
nano google.pubkey
Paste the content from the Qubes Clipboard into nano (Shift+Ctrl+V and then Paste) Save the file (Ctrl+O Ctrl+X)
Add the public key to the repository keyring
apt-key add google.pubkey
Verify Fingerprint with
apt-key finger Google
You can (and should) lookup the fingerprint on the keyserver:
http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?search=0x7721F63BD38B4796&fingerprint=on
or https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/
Add the Google package repositories to your list of sources echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main"> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
Update package repositories
apt-get update
Install Chrome
apt-get install google-chrome-stable
