But the hope remained that it would be possible to run it native on Linux. I have found out how, and here are the instructions for tumbleweed:<\/p>\n<h4>install the acestream packages<\/h4>\n<p>First, we add a <strong>repository<\/strong> where the acestream software is to be found. Then we install the latest beta version of VLC, and then I will show you how to start it all.<\/p>\n<pre># zypper ar -f http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/repositories\/home:\/drommer\/openSUSE_Tumbleweed\/ acestream-repo\n# zypper in acestream-engine acestream-launcher<\/pre>\n<h4>install vlc<\/h4>\n<p>This next section is not necessary, you can skip that if you already have a working VLC.<\/p>\n<p>The reason that I install the latest VLC -beta is because in the future I hope to stream to my <strong>chromecast.<\/strong> The latest VLC *should* do the trick, but here it is not working yet. Anyway, I installed and use the vlc 4.0 <strong>beta<\/strong> version.<br \/>You will have to get it from the <strong>packman<\/strong> repo, so if you haven&#8217;t already added it, do it now:\u00a0http:\/\/ftp.gwdg.de\/pub\/linux\/misc\/packman\/suse\/openSUSE_Tumbleweed\/<\/p>\n<pre># zypper in vlc-beta<\/pre>\n<p>In order to satisfy the <strong>dependencies,<\/strong> you will have to agree with de-installing the regular -installed- VLC version.<\/p>\n<h4>how to start<\/h4>\n<p>And now for the real stuff. To <strong>start<\/strong> it all, as user do:<\/p>\n<pre>$ acestreamengine --client-console<\/pre>\n<p>and leave the terminal open. In a <strong>new<\/strong> terminal console do:<\/p>\n<pre>$ acestream-launcher -p vlc acestream:\/\/67665adae9b7535a10f7b7a22d43f15683e78bde<\/pre>\n<p>The VLC player will open and after a short while (hopefully) the stream will start playing in the vlc window.
