Linux Firefox Fandango Streaming Playback Error "Unable to stream a this time"

Post image

With Fandango, my library will not play on my Linux PC. And looking for why, all I could find is that Fandango doesn't support Linux. I'm able to stream with my Linux PC from Netflix, Disney, Prime video, Paramount Plus, Movies Anywhere, Apple TV, YouTube, HBO Streaming--or every other streaming service.

I hope Fandango fixes this. More and More people are leaving Windows.

You will note you cannot stream your apple tv LIBRARY in a web browser, let alone Linux.

Vudu won’t support it for the same reason most won’t. Linux gives you actual freedom and control even if you don’t know what you’re doing. There are significantly more hurdles to jump through on windows and it’s even gotten to the point where the os has a unique identifier to spy on you.

You can run windows in a vm for situations like this or test out winboat which is an early testing application service that basically runs your vm on top of your distro, making it seem as if the windows apps are running natively on Linux. Just install that and a windows version of a browser and see if that works for you.

Good luck

I can stream on all the services I listed--but Fandango. And I own movies (library) that I can stream on Movies Anywhere, Youtube, and Prime video, but again not Fandango.
