Using Firefox 61.0.1 provided by Ubuntu, using Ubuntu 16.04, with a new Firefox profile: https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/ redirects to https://shaka-player- demo.appspot.com/demo/#asset=https://storage.googleapis.com/shaka-demo- assets/angel-one/dash.mpd;lang=en-US;build=uncompiled and, after enabling DRM and waiting for the Widevine plugin to install, fails with a yellow bar at the top that says "The WidevineCdm plugin has crashed."
Using Firefox 61.0.1 downloaded from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/61.0.1/linux-x86_64/en- US/firefox-61.0.1.tar.bz2, using Ubuntu 16.04, with a new Firefox profile: the same steps happen but the plugin doesn't crash at the end. This will be the last update I provide unless a maintainer responds and asks for more information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724705 Title: Firefox error: "DRM: Failed to create and initialize a MediaKeys object" Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I get an error playing DRM-restricted content with the Firefox 56.0 that comes with Ubuntu 16.04, but not with the Firefox 56.0 that I download from Mozilla. Specifically, if I go to https://bitmovin.com/mpeg-dash-hls-drm-test- player/ with the Firefox 56.0 included with Ubuntu 16.04, the video box in the middle of the page displays static with the error message "DRM: Failed to create and initialize a MediaKeys object". If I instead download Firefox 56.0 from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0/linux-x86_64/en- US/firefox-56.0.tar.bz2 and extract and run that Firefox, the video will correctly start after I click play. In both cases Firefox is configured with: * about:preferences > "Play DRM-controlled content" checked * about:addons > "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc." v1.4.8.1008 installed and set to "Always Activate" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1724705/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
