Hi
This is about Firefox on the latest and greatest Kubuntu being able to play "DRM concent".
I really do have eclectic music and film tastes and have of late, been watching "anime".
Puuulleeeezeee. let us put to rest that "Anime is porno". No, it is not it is a still image and video art form, of which SOME is "porno" and really BAD porno at that.
That is not what I watch.
I ran across this with the animated, and then, live action "Initial D" film and series and became interested because I was actually in the area and "probably" was transported, on a bus, up and down the road in the storyline.
I have been watching those on YUUUtub and when they ran out was wandering around and happened across an "aggregator" site for anime videos. The site hostes all of the videos for a series and, since they are a big thing on Japanese TV there can be a LOT of episodes.
I particularly like the sci-fi and horror, a lot of the rest of it is too..."juvenile" or "drama" or whatever.
BUT...the point here is the DRM enabled title.
It is a "free trial" site and then paid, but, when I clicked a video, the first one in a series, it said that "This content cannot be played embedded please go to the owner's site". So, I clicked that and was at the video at the site.
I clicked it. and it blanked and "spun" for a few seconds and said: "Enabling DRM". Then it popped; "DRM enabled" and then ...not the VIDEO BUT A BUNCH OF ADVERTS FOR similar shows ran and I backed out because one has to register with an e-mail and I don't do that.
HOWEVER...GIVEN THE ABOVE...if one clicks a "new" show, like in the list of "summer 2019" one can immediately play the video on the site, ( I assume since the DRM has already been "enabled" with FF. dunno, but it does play. and does not need a registration with e-mail.
But, the point here is that Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Debian/upstream whoever has "got the DRM ducks in a row" for at least this stuff.
Now, it may be that there are geo-restrictions which do not happen with stuff from Japan and U.S. I do not know, and I have run across, in the past, video from "Europe" that will not play due to DRM restrictions. But, anyway... this is a compliment to the developers and a mention for NEW USERS of Kubuntu.
