Thanks for your suggestions. The version of peppermint in question is 32 bit and it’s no longer possible to install a 32 bit version of chrome. Chromium is available in a 32 bit version. the link below shows how to install widevine in chromium. i tried it but it didn’t work [i may have made a mistake during the installation] https://github.com/proprietary/chromium-widevine I’ve decided not to pursue this any further in that there doesn’t appear to be a solution to this drm / widevine problem. it...

The above libavcodec commands didn’t work but thanks for the suggestion. In regards to booting from op system images on usb sticks. I’ve managed to boot into Linux Lite without difficulty. so it doesn’t look as if there are any grub problems. once again thanks for the help. Any further suggestions regarding the drm problem would be welcome.

Widevine was already in the ‘always activate’ mode in Firefox but the ‘DRM not enabled’ message pops up when I try to play videos. It also appears that Spotify is affected by this problem, when I try to log into their web browser page it goes to a ‘403 forbidden’ page. This problem was also evident when I booted into a 64bit peppermint iso image on a usb stick. I’m thinking that the problem might be to do with the hardware of the Toshiba Tecra pc in question but it had Mint on it previously and there...

Thanks for all the help, I still haven’t solved the problem, which is that I can’t play videos from a number of UK TV sites - My5 - All4 - ITV - because the sites seem to think that Digital Rights Management has not been enabled. I’m using the 32 bit version of Peppermint10 bionic on a 64 bit architecture Toshiba Tecra. This PC previously had 64bit Linux Mint installed on it and videos from the above mentioned sites played without difficulty. I have Firefox and Chromium installed. The DRM box was...

Following on from my last post As I said I booted into a live image of what i thought was devuan 64 bit OS and then installed chromium but 'About Chromium' states that the browser is running on Debian 11.5 (32-bit) I downloaded the 64 bit devuan base file from this link https://peppermintos.com/guide/downloading/ but the file in my downloads folder is named PeppermintOS-i386.iso I thought that the i386 number indicates 32 bit systems. I typed the command "uname -m" and the results stated i686 which...

I formatted a live image of the 64bit devuan base version of peppermint onto a usb stick and booted into that. I discovered that browsers do not come pre-installed so I installed chromium from synaptic and found that My5 content refused to play.

Thanks for your help. I used the libdvd terminal commands as instructed but I’m still confronted by the DRM not enabled messages. If you want to check things on your test machine I suggest you try playing video content on the Channel 5 ‘My5’ website, the content plays without the need to create an account and sign in. When I try and play content a message states ‘something went wrong’. I’m wondering if it’s because the version of Perrermint I’m using is 32bit. Once again, thanks for your help.
