A lot has been written about how to install the OS, and it was indeed a very straightforward, well-designed process. had everything up and running in 30 minutes after dinner. It is now 3 AM and I haven't watched a single thing. why? I got stuck in the part that comes afterwards: configuring the streaming services. It turns out it is far from user friendly to set up any form of streaming services. I basically want to do 3 things:
- Watch Netflix
- Watch Youtube
- Browse the internet
These are reasonable expectations for an OS that is specifically designed for home media. After many hours I've only managed to get youtube working, for which I had to follow some indian guy ramble on youtube about OAuth and API's or whatever and I had to generate and type 3 very long case-sensitive keys. Why not offer a LibreELEC with this pre-installed
After more hours of research I find that the only available browser is chrome (im on a x86). It shows in the list and won't run when installed. The only way to get actual programs is through a rather shady-looking "superrepo" thing, which also doesn't work because I installed Kodi 18 and it only goes up to 17.
So my requests are:
- include a working browser
- pre-install youtube, or make it at least less cumbersome
- add netflix to the add-ons
or better:
- a tutorial on how to get started and set up your streaming services. what repo's to use? Just the basics for new users.
