Parsec OS + Chrome Apps + Play Store App
complete
Viet
I'd like to see a standalone Parsec OS for old computers, Chrome Apps for Chromebooks and computers that don't wish to install standalone software, and official Play Store support for Chromebooks and Android phones.
Use cases:
- I have a Razer Blade 2017, it's fine and runs great, but I want to sell it and use Parsec instead.
- I also have Acer Chromebook R13 and want to use it for productivity and Parsec when needed. This chromebook is affordable, but like many others, don't have support for .apk yet. (Like many other normal consumers, I don't like putting it into development mode, so that's out of the picture)
- I have an old Vaio VGN-TZ150N 2007. Even it's an old laptop, it has 5Ghz Wifi support which is pretty nice. Some old laptops and desktop can make use of a Parsec OS to breathe new life into it.
- Why Chrome Apps? Some old laptops like to install Chromium OS (NOT Chromebook), and Chromium OS won't have Android support, so a Chrome App (not chrome extensions) is necessary in addition to Android app
I like Parsec because you guys care about supporting multiple platforms and even Rasberry Pi 3. So let's raise it to another level and have those supports.

I'm getting "Your device isn't compatible with this version." I'm using a pixel book, so very new ChromeOS device.
Super excited to see this progressing!

Jimmie Butler: I feel like there is a bug on google side because I have a 7.1.2 android phone and it's saying the same thing.

Released in Beta - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.parsec.client

Benjy Boxer: It logs in, but then just shows a white screen. Which is wierd, because now on my phone, it doesn't even log in and gives me a email not associated with account error. I can login through the website and using the exact same details though.

Publish to Play Store
Nachiket Vartak
I would like to see the Parsec Android app on the Play Store, so we can install in on Chromebooks without putting them in dev mode.
I mean, Chromebooks provide the closest experience to PC gaming without a local install. It's a major pain that it the Chromebook has to be put in dev mode just because Parsec has not published to the Play Store.

Needs to be published for Android TV (Shield TV) as well.

I second this. I bought Chromebook because I want to be able to download Parsec from Play Store.

Considering the android app is still a beta, it doesn’t make sense to publish it yet, right?
Enigma
ang3l12: Of course it does. Just put a 'Beta' note somewhere in there. Auto-updating the client is a must.

ang3l12: Yes it's completely doable with the new BETA support from the play store

Chromebook support

I tried this out, and your product is AMAZING already. I was really hoping to get some support on my Chromebook plus. I installed the android app, but I am afraid it doesn't seem to do hardware decoding (I think that is available in hardware). Not sure if this is an android running on ChromeOS problem, but was hoping that somewhere down the line perhaps you could look into it and see if this is something that can work. If you could get your android app working on a ChromeOS, you would have a LARGE market looking to use this. It would be amazing.

I think that an OS Replacement for just Parsec streaming would be great. Kind of like a DIY Steam Link, but for Parsec. Great way to get some use out of older hardware.

Please on chromebook, either with a functioning app in the play store, or chrome web store.
