Posted September 12, 2014 Author If you have an android device, chromecast Will the streaming be totally smooth? Also I think maybe Android could be a bit of a problem for Wer TVs because of Flash or the different methods they are working OS: Windows 10 - Kubuntu 15.10 - Mac OSX El Capitan CPU: i7 4790 @ 4.00GHz MOBO: AsRock H97M Pro4 RAM: 4x 8GB Kingston HyperX @ 1866MHz GPU: VTX3D R9-280 X-Edition CASE: iTek Spacebox w/ Arctic Fans PSU: Corsair X750M SSD: 250GB Samsung 840 Evo HDD: 3TB Western Digital WD30EZRX DISPLAY: 3x Acer P193W MOUSE: 5$ Chinese TOUCHPAD: Logitech T650 Touchpad KEYBOARD: Perixx Px-5200 w/Mx-Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 12, 2014 Will the streaming be totally smooth? Also I think maybe Android could be a bit of a problem for Wer TVs because of Flash or the different methods they are working Netflix and Hulu Plus and Plex each have their own app so I think it would work fine. I don't think there would be an issue. Confirm with someone else though Gaming Rig: i5-3570k+H100i (4.3 ghz) | P8Z77-i Deluxe | MSI Twin Frozr 7950 Boost | HX650 | 1TB HGST | 840 Evo 250 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirm with someone else though I don't mean those TVs, I'm Italian we don't even have those services... I'll watch them into a browser, there's no other way I think, so I need a device with a browser (I have an xbox360 but it doesn't support the players of these TVs). Could the Raspberry pi do it? Thanks for the help though.
