Firefox only supports DRM on Windows. I hadn't thought to use WINE for a Windows install of Firefox on Linux. Chrome's DRM support is cross-platform, but only in Google Chrome, not Chromium, which can complicate the installation depending on your platform/OS.
- jhasse 11y agoHave you tried the hal daemon? I'm running Firefox on Linux and after setting it up, DRM content with Flash works.
- greggyb 11y agoI hadn't seen that before. Looks like it covers the Flash side only based on some quick reading and your comment. Any word on e.g. Netflix support for Firefox on Linux/BSD? Google Chrome bundles the DRM components with the browser, so as long as you can consume the .deb or .rpm package you're good. Firefox recently introduced HTML5 DRM support[0] but it's only on Windows. I know they're looking to support other operating systems, but haven't heard anything.

- jhasse 11y agoAh I see. I guess there's no support for HTML5 DRM yet.
