Current Web player’s Limitations

The latest web player currently has some limitations, as you can see below. We are working very hard to improve the current web player to match the Yodeck Raspberry Pi player in all playback fields.

WebOS/Tizen/Android

Soon, we’ll release dedicated apps for WebOS, Tizen, and Android so that playback is seamless for smart TVs too.

Notes:

The Yodeck Raspberry Pi Player fully supports all features below
The extension is not available on mobile devices.
Fully Supported Browsers: (to be resolved with developing a web player app).
- Chrome
- Edge
- Chromium
