I see that until Xenial release of Lubuntu it was possible install netflix-desktop by repository and run it with Wine.Is it possible also on Lubuntu 16.10 ? Cause I don't find any updated repository to do it.I can use Netflix on Chrome, but i'm looking for the desktop app.

Thanks pogster. I watched a video on how to put the netflix link on the desktop of the Mac and it works for streaming. I was wondering why there is no app for Macbook. Netflix say it is Apples fault or doing and to ask them.

Thanks Lanny, I've subscribed to netflix since 2015 and streamed their content, downloaded movies to watch while flying etc. I have an app on my samsung phone allowing me to download movie's and series off-line.

Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.

I'm trying to figure out how to keep Spotify playing in the background when I open another app that wants access to my phone's audio.

Specifically, when I view a video on twitter or YouTube in the Edge or Chrome browsers, Spotify stops, and the audio for the video clip takes over as the only audio being outputted. This is especially frustrating when it's a site that autoplays (and sometimes ads will be the culprit).

Is there a setting somewhere (either Android, or Spotify, or browser) that would help me?

There is currently no way to give the Spotify app priority over all other sounds on you Android phone. Music should not stop if you go over a video with it's sound set to Mute on the various social media apps, but if those apps play videos with sound automatically, then you'll hear those videos and the music from the Spotify app will be paused.

There are different devices with different personalization settings out there so there is no one for all fix to this. You'd need to go and set us user preferences for each of those social media apps you use so that they don't play sound automatically. Muting notifications can also help on some devices.

Currently Spotify doesn't have administrator audio access, so the OS gives priority to whatever is in the foreground that requests multimedia access. This is because sometimes a video is not truly muted, it still initiates the audio codec and reserves it for itself.

Because of this we cannot provide a timeframe for a fix, but will make sure to pass on this information to our developers to keep working on the app's optimization. In the meantime please make sure to keep your app up to date so you don't miss any important fixes or features.

If the user did not tell Spotify to stop, it should NOT stop, under absolutely ANY circumstances. It is doing something the user did not tell it to and that is a major issue. End of.

It makes it a non-starter to choose to use Spotify while doing anything else on the phone (harming their end too). You have to keep a better player around that does not have this monumental use-stopper of a problem, and use that instead of Spotify, just because of this "behaviour".

Just while posting this, my music (I am using Spotify for a specific playlist today) has stopped 5 times because I had to go to Slack and WhatsApp for stuff. This is stuff that isn't even using audio, to boot. Inexcusable. I wonder if Apple or Tidal have the same problem, because GoneMad with my own files sure doesn't.

If the app pauses without an audio playing from another source, we'd suggest you restart the device and then log out and log back in again. It's also important that all the necessary permissions for the app are enabled. In case you're using any battery optimization or power saving apps, you can deactivate them for Spotify.

As @Billy-J mentioned it's a good idea to give these steps a go and submit your idea. That way other users can support it. Rest assured that the higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for it to be implemented.

The desktop Spotify app, does/should that stop when Windows plays another sound? No. Why should it? Why is Android any Different? It is a multi-use computer, you are using it, you told it to play music, there's a stop button if you want it to stop.

There are also already many requests posted for this fix. They don't get nearly enough support to hit the threshold because Spotify seems to think this board is way more active than it is and nobody actually looks at those things.

Thanks but that's just not true. Other players have an option to ignore audiofocus requests and will play through, no matter what. As they should by default anyway. Separate options for calls and other requests, too.

Please relay this to whomever it concerns.

You are right.. i was listening to spotify but they always stop playing the music whenever facebook video plays (when i scroll) and of course that's annoying. Imagine you want to hear music while scrolling social media but instead spotify just like stopping and playing continously, of course that's annoying right?

I am playing .mkv movies with 1080 resolution and about 12gb size without problems and i think, that is a good alternative because, the Raspberry Pi has lower power consumption than a PC and with a wireless card, you can stream contents to your TV.

Raspberry need USB storage or SD card.
Controll Raspberry via smartphone app (Android / iPhone app) using WLAN (smartphone) and (W)LAN with your Raspberry Pi. Some tvs can send HDMI CEC commands and you just use your normal tv remote. (horrible for setup but nice afterwards)

They also have mobile apps that can can remote control XBMC as well. I have my setup with my old gaming rig hooked up to my TV via hdmi with XBMC installed, and then I control it with the xbmc remote with a xbmc android app from my phone only need the TV remote to turn on the TV.

My main computer, with a ton of storage, use a software SAN/NAS solution to host shares with my movies and contents. Hook up a raspberry pi to the television with a wireless usb device, install xbmc on the pi. Then I should technically be able to stream netflix and 1channel from the PI, along with obtaining movies and contents from my desktop with much more storage.
