Does the Android client work on Chromebooks?

I am getting my daughter a Chromebook and apparently Chrome can run Android apps.

Anyone know if the SageTV Android client will work on a Chromebook? Or are there compatibility issues with stuff like video acceleration/playback?

i tried it once briefly with an acer r11. It was able to do OTA just fine. Did not try any hdpvr type stuff.

Ok, thanks. OTA stuff is often trickier these days as MPEG-2 isn't as well supported as H.264.

Yes, I use it all the time. I have an Acer Chromebook 14.

My Acer 14 works great with the mini client.

I have the app loaded up and the UI runs ok but video plays back in slow motion and with interpolation issues. I tried turning on the other video player in the settings but when I do that I don't get any video playback at all. Has anyone else seen this?

In addition - how do you exit Sage? I removed the exit command from the menu in my UI customization as I didn't need it as you can use Alt-F4 on PCs. But a Chromebook does not have Function keys.

And there is no Home button on my Chromebook either? How do you deal with this? Assign another key to Home?
