New version of YLE Areena
asked 2015-03-31 20:14:38 +0300
I'm pretty heavy user of YLE Areena, also with my Jolla (mostly audio in that case). The application has been available in Jolla Store, and works reasonably well - especially there has been no dependency to Google Services.
Now YLE has released a new version of Areena, which can be installed at least from some of these Android stores (Aptoide or 1Mobile, don't remember). But guess what: it requires Google Services to even start.
So, what are my options:
- stick to old version and pray that it will work forever
- install Google Services "hack" and hope that a) it won't break anything and b) Areena will be satisfied (will it?)
- wait and trust that there will be fully Sailfish "compatible" version of new Areena one day in Jolla Store
?
No need to mention, that in a mobile browsers Areena has never worked.
Send angry feedback to YLE telling them how they are wasting taxpayer money.
Next they'll probably require you to authenticate through Facebook or G+ to watch TV on their website.

Upp15 ( 2015-04-01 12:31:06 +0300 )editI have complained YLE about the the videos on their web pages last year. They require Flash Player an can not be watched with Jolla browser. I am not sure if they understood my point of view, but I think Flash should be avoided on any platform.
