Graphics, sound and multimedia • Re: How To Install WideVine In FireFox ? (64 bit RPi OS)

Hello cillian64 ...

What am I doing wrong (then) ?

I can't get WideVine to show installed in FireFox in Raspberry Pi OS .... and Google Searches have shown this to be a relatively common problem.

Also .... and this is something new for me to think about ..... I've just found that my truly ancient version of FireFox (~ 1.15ESR), running on my equally ancient HP z600 PC (running Windows 7), does show (on the Web Site you suggested) to have a working DRM functionality (but it's totally useless when trying to view DRM protected movies off TubiTV )

How is it that I can't watch ' The Fifth Element ' on TubiTV from either my Windows 7 installation (on the HP z600 PC) or from my Raspberry Pi 5 machine (running Raspberry Pi OS) ..... but it plays just fine when running on FireFox in Windows 10 (on an HP z820) and UBUNTU 24.04 (on both the HP z820 and HP z600) ?

Clearly that is something more to this ' DRM stuff ' than a ' Yes ' or ' No ' situation ( it is .... or .... is not .... going to work )

Now I'm forced to visualize that fuzzy .... intermediate .... ' world ' of ' It may work ' ( or ..... not )
