This is the same with the new YouTube TV too. I'm not sure if it's a DRM issue or not. Especially galling if so given the controversy over HTML5 DRM content, after other browsers have decided to support it, to then roll your own solution anyway...

- londons_explore 10y agoDRM in web browsers is anything but standard. Edge uses PlayReady, Chrome uses Widevine, Safari uses FairPlay, etc. As a content producer, you have to get licenses to use each of those technologies and run servers for them separately. It's anything but standard.
