I do not watch TV, so take this with grain of salt .... I might have mix up unrelated info in my head.
I recall reading about Disney min. req. somewhere and it would require a kernel change. If I recall it correctly, Disney would have to be in the chain of trust for the whole PC + kernel, including kernel modules. I remember thinking - just take, take, take and do not give anything back corp. attitude. Disney's content distribution runs completely on linux. Sure they could have bothered to make the content accessible on Linux too. They probably employ 1000-ish Linux devs to make the whole thing happen. I will say no more, as not to spread misinformation. Google it up Disney on Linux. -T On Tue, Dec 17, 2019, 18:56 Ben Koenig <[email protected]> wrote: > If you've been away for a while, then you might want to read up on the new > DRM extensions for firefox. > > *Supposedly* if you open up a video that is DRM protected, there is a > special module that Firefox will immediately download and install for you. > Once it installs, you typically just restart firefox and it works.
