Using ubuntu to watch TV online

Article Title: Using ubuntu to watch TV online. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Load a ubuntu linux system under widows. I can access the Internet in one system and watch TV in one system. I usually access the Internet in widows and watch TV in linux.

In linux, I use mplayer to watch the video. Open the terminal and enter the following command:

Myplayer mms: // TV .lzu.edu.cn/cctv3:

Of course, you can also use mplayer to open the open url. Of course, you can also watch TV in widows, and access the Internet in linux.
