Amazon Prime Video still reporting browser update required (now v 56.2.14) #1117

Closed tcreek closed 3 years ago

tcreek commented 5 years ago

From the Blog Post on August 19, 2019 it is stated,

"Fix for websites that require EME such as Netflix, Prime Video etc and few other small changes."

https://www.waterfox.net/blog/waterfox-56.2.13-release-download/

So I visit the Amazon Prime Video site, attempt to watch a video then get this:

waterfox_prime

I have verified this on Windows 10 & Debian 9 with the same result

In this case, Widevine appears to be functioning as tested at http://demo.theoplayer.com/drm-aes-protection-128-encryption then selecting the DRM playback.

Seems Amazon just don't like the version it is being presented for whatever reason.

Commissar0617 commented 5 years ago

lets put it this way... the version of FF that classic is built on, is nearly 2 years old. websites/addons, especially those with drm, are beginning to cease support of that version or just not function at all on it.

tcreek commented 5 years ago

What is odd, trying Web 3.22.7, I get a different message

Prime Video titles can't be watched on this device because the operating system isn't supported. >For more information,

Though it clearly states Linux is supported. This is what Web is reporting to sites.

Cross reference:

– some uncertainty re: the version of Waterfox, I think it's Waterfox Classic.

This week's Waterfox Classic 2019.10 (20191015002329) on Manjaro:

… I didn't expect a fix; just noting that it does still appear to be bugged.

DRM hasn't ever worked on Waterfox Classic on *nix style OSs. I remember spending time a couple of years ago looking into why, but could never locate the issue.

Not complaining about the DRM, as I have shown it works (at least on Windows), but sites are reporting the version of the browser is out of date,

grahamperrin commented 5 years ago

reporting the version of the browser is out of date,

On Linux, yes?

tcreek commented 5 years ago

Trying the link above for DRM on a Linux machine, it is reporting:

drm_linux

grahamperrin commented 5 years ago

The DRM error there is probably unrelated to the problem with Amazon Video.

On Windows, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B00X674KKU/ref=stream_est_sd_mv?autoplay=1&t=145 in Waterfox Classic 2019.10 (20191016181224) there's Amazon playback of DRM content alongside the reported exception at http://demo.theoplayer.com/drm-aes-protection-128-encryption:

Amazon Prime Video … not functioning … 56.…

it works (at least on Windows),

@MrAlex94 does Amazon Video also work on macOS? If so, we might close this #1117 as a duplicate of:

tcreek commented 5 years ago

As I keep mentioning, it's not about the DRM in this case, but the "browser update required"

grahamperrin commented 5 years ago

OK, would you like to edit the subject line? To more easily distinguish between the two issues, at a glance.

Thanks

I see a similar error with netflix after compiling the latest on the master branch. (WF current 10.2020
