Waterfox: DRM Not working

Created on 29 Jan 2019  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: MrAlex94/Waterfox

The dutch online public television site is not working on Waterfox, but is working on Firefox.

https://www.npostart.nl/draadstaal/28-01-2019/AT_2114372

I think the problem is in the outdated Widevine.
Waterfox: Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. 1.4.8.1008
Firefox: Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. 1.4.8.1146.0

Could you update to the latest Widevine version in the next release?

Or is there a way to update it manually?

Thanks for the good work!

Maybe it is the cause of Netflix not working? I only get a message: Whoops
something went wrong... Unexpected error

… can't use netflix in waterfox for months now. …

@Jeferson-Emanuel given the length of time, yours might be a separate issue; not what Waterfox 56.2.7 is fixing.

If https://www.reddit.com/comments/700kl1/-/dqvq3sc/ does not resolve the issue for you (it resolved a _Whoops_ case for a user of Waterfox 55), then maybe start a new post at https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox/

There's also DRM widevine don't work · Issue #709 · MrAlex94/Waterfox but that, too, might be separate from your issue.

Has been updated in 56.2.7.

Thanks! It is working again in 56.2.7. Enjoy the coffee :)

Thanks for follow-up!

If you like, close the issue.
