Hello all,
i have a Macbook Pro (2011) and i like watching German TV via Netflix's. I used the trial on a PC because when I visit parents I take the HP Laptop (I teach adults IT so need this one for course I teach). I love it because I grew up on Nato base in Germany and Netflix allows me to download to watch later, German TV shows which is exactly what I want. Also I live in a flat with mobile wifi so downloading to watch later is wonderful for me especially working late. On the Macbook i can't download films thru Netflix, I’ve been told I can’t use FireStickTV into Macbook. (so I gave it away)
Someone gave me a Chromecast stick but not sure if it’ll work as no HDMI on MacBook.
Macs are supposed to be Media Masters but I keep coming across brick walls. I live in a flat and I want my Mac as my media station. I don’t have or want a TV.
I used to use an online download site but it dissolved so started in the summer with FireTV software:
Kodi (software) – I tried and tried but couldn’t figure this one out so had to give up
Yes movies – watched online (as only mobile wifi used this only for about 30 mins at a time)
Putlocker – same
123movies – same - yes, putlocker, 123 all went through a downloader site that became rubbish….
Kodi – had another go but apps still not working unless you constantly need wifi (had mine off)
I have the Netflix app on iPad but every time I download it 'fails'. I haven't downloaded app to MacBook, only because I've been told it won't work. I suppose I can try and see if the download is there. But has anyone come across this? I am open to any and all suggestions
thank you
kim
