Bluestacks and optus sport

[Plodfosser]

Hey guys,

Ive recently installed BlueStacks 3 on my htpc to run the optus sports app so I can watch the world cup. The program and app appear to be working fine, however when I click on a video nothing happens...no loading circle just blackness.

I have updated the drivers on my video card and tried a fix where you add bluestacks front end to 3d program settings on nvidia control panel and turn threaded optimization off so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Intel i5 3.2ghz 4 core
16g ram
Asus Gtx 1060

In my experience, as an emulator, bluestacks is inferior to MemuPlayer, so try using that instead.

I suspect the Optus Sports app will only allow the streams on an actual Android device, and probably only approved unmodified unrooted ones as well, like Samsung, Moto, Sony, etc. Many premium streaming sports apps that have DRM are like that.
