DRM on 32bit browsers?
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55BGT)
I've recently gone through a thing trying to get Netflix playing, which I pay for. The issue affects Netlifx, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, HBO, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, VUDU, and many others which use widevine.
Can Slackware Arm play DRM content on any browser? Does it work??
On X86_64, firefox has the option to play drm content in the preferences. It downloads a lib (presumably) into a sandbox, plays the content, and deletes it afterwards, I am told. Palemoon OTOH raises an ethical middle finger at playing DRM content.
There's a fix on a Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) public forum to grab a 'libwidevine.so' that chromium can use, and that works. I'm unsure how legit that is, but if he takes his post down, I'll delete. It's a 32bit lib.
There's no fix for Raspberry Pi OS 64bit, because his lib is 32bit.
