Flash DRM has never worked on Linux, AFAIK.
- stormbrew 12y agoIt definitely does. Proof by troubleshooting: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/flash-player-11-problems-playing.html http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/flash-player-11-pro...
- makomk 12y agoIn theory it does. Unfortunately, I've never been able to get it to work because the way in which it obtains a hardware ID to tie playback to doesn't work on the Linux distro I use and I can't feasibly debug or fix it. Assuming it were actually secure as stated, the Mozilla solution would have the same problem - if you can modify how it obtains the hardware ID, you can bypass the DRM in ways that content providers wouldn't accept. (The really stupid thing is, I was trying to watch online streaming video that was available to the whole of the UK, with access controlled through IP geolocation. There was no need to tie decryption to a particular device ID in the first place. EME seems to be taking exactly the same approach though with support from Mozilla.)
- hsivonen 12y agoSee "Linux" in https://www.adobe.com/products/adobe-access/tech-specs.html https://www.adobe.com/products/adobe-access/tech-specs.html . The problem is that copyright holders can still stipulate policies that exclude Linux. For example, http://voddler.com/en/ http://voddler.com/en/ greets Linux users with "Here you can rent and play movies. For even more movies and TV-series, visit us from your PC or Mac, where we have a even larger selection."
