Public bug reported: 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" ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: apparmor (Ubuntu) => firefox (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor 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.
