Hi, I'm facing some problems with my Foxtel setup when using Gnome. I keep seeing an error saying my Chrome isn't up to date, even though it's the same version as on my Windows PC and works perfectly. Since I'm using a VM, I can test it without relying on the host system. Any tips or suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks! - Ramke

Likely relies on WidevineCDM, a decryption module unsupported on Linux. Verify in chrome://components

Testing in a virtual machine? DRM files aren't always accessible on Linux, which is why I use an Apple TV. The Foxtel Now site only shows Windows and Mac options. For the most reliable info, check the official site: https://community.foxtel.com.au/t5/Foxte...d-p/204582

I have a PC with Gnome and a VM, but neither is functioning. I verified it’s not there, so I’ll look into the workaround from the Foxtel website and see what happens.

Google Chrome and Widevine work correctly on Linux for Chrome and Firefox. The issue might stem from your user agent string, leading to incorrect blocking assumptions. Consider using a user agent switcher and setting Chrome as your user agent on Windows.
