Title: Iheart radio
Post by: Hardcoretexan on October 04, 2016, 11:33:06 AM

I am trying to get iheart to play on my firefox browser, I have linux lite 64, with latest updates. I have done several searches and cannot find anything, the iheart page says I need to update my flash player, I tried and downloaded updates but don't know how to install them.

Still learning about linux so any help is appreciated.

Try installing Chromium via Lite Software or Google Chrome.

If you mean you went to Adobe site to download flash, that's not how to update it on LL.  Just run regular Lite Updates (found in the Menu) and it will pull-in the latest flash plugin along with any other system updates.  In Linux, no need to hunt down updates to various installed programs from different websites.  System updates do the updating of all installed software if there are updates available for them.

It won't play in Firefox or Chrome. What station are you wanting to listen to?

UPDATE: iHeart does work in Opera out-of-the-box http://www.opera.com/computer/linux

I only have Firefox and Chrome on my machines.  Unless something has changed, iHeart has worked for me using Chrome.  But it has been a month or two since I tried it.

Give it a try now if you like, interested to see if it works for you, and not for me.

I just tried it using Chrome, and it worked for me just as it has before.

Mines working now, I was blocking ads so it wouldn't play until I'd watch the ad that wasn't showing :p

These are my Chrome Adblock settings, and iHeart.com is working for me.
