Has anyone found a solution to Peacock not working on Linux? I am just starting the process of removing Google and Microsoft from my life so I am very new to Linux.

Not the solution you're looking for but just pirate that garbage.

It looks like you can use a Kodi plugin for Peacock with some minor hoop-jumping.

That seems to be for Android not linux.

From the author of the plugin on page 5 of the thread:

I just tested on Kodi 21 (on Linux and a firestick), and the login works fine with a key file.

then also from author

In the latest version, playback should also work on PCs (up to 1080p). Requires Kodi 21.

I think you have to use Android to get the login key required for the plugin.

I think I'm in over my head here. I wasn't expecting to have to pour through 10 pages of forum posts that I don't really understand to watch an episode of The Office.

Thanks for trying to help.

I don't use any streaming services, but my first guess would be a chromium browser, such as ungoogled-chromium. It always seems to have the best video capabilities out of all other browsers.

That is definitely not the solution. Apparently Peacock won't stream through any browser on linux.

And thank you for that. I just realized I forgot that in my first reply.

Stremio can handle Peacock. Please Google it and read the documentation before asking more questions like this.
