I'm not sure about power PC, but about 15 years ago I was working on a MIPS based desktop linux system, and there was no way to get adobe flash to run on it, which at the time was a big deal.
Could they have similar issues with media stuff (netflix, hulu etc) on a device like this?
- cmiles74 7y agoI think Google's Widevine (which is used for a lot of these DRM'd streams) is only available for Chrome. I think we'd need Google to provide a Chrome for PPC binary, which would require them to bundle a WideVine for PPC binary. https://www.widevine.com/ https://www.widevine.com/
- heavyset_go 7y agoWidevine support is enabled in Firefox on 32 and 64-bit x86 platforms. binfmt_misc can enable Flash support.
- cmiles74 7y agoI'm pretty sure they are using the binaries provided by Google. I don't think they can compile for another platform, like PPC. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm
- heavyset_go 7y agoThat's my point, Widevine is only available for certain platforms. You can abuse binfmt_misc for other incompatible software, though.
