Anyone running Google Chrome on Raspberry Pi

colporteur
colporteur over 5 years ago

Can anyone share their experience running Google Chrome on a Raspberry Pi? By experience I mean: How you did it? What is it's performance? Would you do it for your mother? I figure if it is acceptable for a mother then it is prime timeimage

 

I'm hoping to use a Pi3B+ to run google chrome. My objective to run Bell Satellite television.  My daughter has asked me to display the Vancouver Canucks game on a giant TV screen in her back yard. She is inviting a bunch of friends over to celebrate her husbands 30 birthday.

 

I recently relocated, so all my adaptors and cables went to good will or the dump. Then I got thinking, why not a networked Pi. I can watch the ESPN Channel from my Bell Satellite television on my Ubuntu Linux computer using Google Chrome. If Google Chrome worked on a Pi maybe that is the solution. I also think it would be pretty cool for his buddies to see what the old retired father-in-law does in his spare timeimage

 

Pi comes with Chromium not a stand-in for Google Chrome. The most recent reference I can find to getting Google Chrome to work is 2017. https://www.raspberrypistarterkits.com/how-to/install-chrome-raspberry-pi/

 

I have one week to make this happen or I go buy cable and string the line out the back window from the Satellite receiver to a TV. I think the Pi wireless would be so much more slick!

    The software exagear used to create an environment to run google chrome, was manufacture discontinued Feb. 2019. The solution found in the link requires this software and a key file. I have the software but no licence keyfile.

     

    I have come up blank with other searches for a google chrome install. Any assistance to find a solution would be appreciated.

    Yes! LG Gough Lui offered the solution in my Resources to Configure a Pi4B to Stream Internet Content blog post. Not surprising it works. I've been watching the Boston Tampa Bay hockey game for the past few hours..

     

    After an hour of horsing around with Google Chrome and Firefox, a brain synapses fired and I hit on the memory cell recall that I had done this before. It took me a while to draw the parallels.

     

    I was trying to stream Britbox without a streaming box. The Pi4B, compliments of the Raspberry Pi4B (4GB) plus POE Hat - Review RoadTest, did the trick. The same Chromium Media Edition install streamed Bell Satellite TV after logging in from this link https://tv.bell.ca/login  .

     

    Thanks WG for taking the time to respond.
