I really love watching 4oD but I get an error message when playing it on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop. It is actually really easy to get 4oD to work on Ubuntu – you just need to install HAL.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mjblenner/ppa-hal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install hal
It should work after that. Please let know if it doesn’t for you.
cheers m8, works perfect! 🙂
Works for me, quick and easier than 13.04! Thanks a lot!
Still no joy for me after installing hal from the ppa. Has 4oD changed again? I get the white loading spinner and it just spins indefinitely (in Chrome and Firefox, using Adobe flash plugin).
Hum… I can’t reproduce this. Has anyone else had this problem?
I get the same problem, even after downloading HAL. Using Firefox.
I also am unable to use 4od on 14.02, Netflx works, BBCiplayer is good!
I have run the two sudo items and restarted / rebooted to no avail.
I’ve got it working on firefox, but not chromium? 14.04, HAL downloaded and installed
Thank you very much – Satisfied customer here.
You, da maaaan, after looking for ages, found this and it works perfectly for Ubuntu 14.04, taaa very much
Yeap! Even my Asus EEEPC 900 (MHz) with 1G Ram and 14.04 works now.
Just had to restart Firefox
Awesome.
