Pipelight

package pipelight-multi is not available

Asked by Tim

Hi,

I've tried at least four different methods to install pipelight but always end up with the same error... 'package pipelight-multi is not available, but is referred to by another package'.

Googling around I've found pleanty of references to plugin elements missing but nothing relating to pipelight-multi itslef!

Here's what I did, together with the output (although running 'sudo' commands, I am logged into shell as root):

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:pipelight/stable

gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpJUflsE/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpJUflsE/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: requesting key 25396B8E from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: /tmp/tmpJUflsE/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 25396B8E: public key "Launchpad PPA for Pipelight Dev Team" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
OK

sudo apt-get update

Hi,

looking at your urls, it seems like you are not using a x86 based computer. Pipelight is not available for other architectures since it requires the original x86 based windows plugins. There is currently some try to use Pipelight using Exagear Desktop on ARM based systems, but it seems like the emulator is still too slow for video playback as long as there is no way to get GPU decoding.
