I tried a few years ago with no success. Eurosport player did NOT support Linux machines. Lately I've heard different stories (they're using HTML5 for example, which should be OK with Linux). I don't want to sign up again (my free month is gone I believe), but I'd still love to see some snooker. Anyone who knows? I don't want to install Wine for this either, never had any success with it. If someone knows, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance!

  • What OS are you on? – SimpliFixed Oct 01 '20 at 22:53
  • Ubuntu 20.04.1. – Bernt Ribbum Oct 01 '20 at 23:02
  • You can run Chromium and Firefox on Ubuntu, and I'm sure that Eurosport will work with at least one of those. – user96931 Oct 01 '20 at 23:29
  • Thanks, I'll look into it, but a shame I have to sign up just to test though... – Bernt Ribbum Oct 01 '20 at 23:51
  • @BerntRibbum Had you looked into it? (thank you) – gboffi Nov 24 '20 at 17:06

    @gboffi No I have not. I run player on my Samsung phone instead, and it can cast to my SmartTV with ease. No Linux involved, unfortunately ;) – Bernt Ribbum Nov 25 '20 at 18:11
  • Interesting solution.Tx. – gboffi Nov 25 '20 at 19:16
  • Just curious, @gboffi – did you get a notfication that I answered? I tried prefixing your name with an @, but it doesn't seem to do anything. – Bernt Ribbum Nov 25 '20 at 19:29
  • I received a notification for you first message and another one for your second. Don't know if that happened because you made a @citation or because the site is too smart. Ciao. – gboffi Nov 25 '20 at 19:46
  • There is actually a help button here (right of the edit field). Looks like the @ does the trick. – Bernt Ribbum Nov 25 '20 at 20:01
  • You didn't get a notification from my previous message, but you will get one from this, since i citate @gboffi here. What's missing on the site is to highlight the citation, or even better: make it a link. Good to know! – Bernt Ribbum Nov 26 '20 at 17:31
  • Signed up today (with a 50% rebate on the yearly subscription, valid until March 21!) and works on my Linux machine with Firefox and Chrome. Both livestream and Replay of earlier broadcasts work. I can also select the commentary language (if available in that stream). – AstroFloyd Mar 05 '21 at 17:50

I have tried the Eurosport Player from Russia, and it works in Linux at this moment and doesn't use Widevine DRM. But I don't know, is there a difference among different countries. enter image description here
