Bei mir läuft es! Habe es heute am 15.02.24 in meinem HP-Chromebook installiert und kann über Netzwerk von dort mit "OpenWebif" auf meinen BRE2ZE Sat-Receiver zugreifen. Von dort habe ich den VXG Mediaplayer installiert, Die eigentliche Widergabe in Bild und Ton ist aber über das Programm eRemotePro auf meinem älteren iPad. Ab und zu hatte ich mal kurze "Hänger" von 3-5 Sekunden, dann lief es wieder mit leichter Zeitverzögerung zum TV. CHROME OS Version 121.0.6167.159 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)

Funktioniert auch bei mir nicht mehr aber ich denke das liegt daran was oben auf dieser Seite steht: Dieses Element kann nur unter ChromeOS ausgeführt werden in der beschreibung steht noch: VXG Media Plugin for Chrome OS is based on Google’s Native Client (NaCl) and Portable Native Client (PNaCl) architecture.
