Ubuntu 13.04
Google Chrome 31.0.1650.57 (Official Build 235101)
OS Linux
JavaScript V8 3.21.18.7
Flash 11.9.900.152
When I try to watch xfinitytv shows via streaming (specifically homeland - showtime) I get stuck at the 0:00 and it says buffering...
Some problems:
- These streaming services now require flash versions 11.8 or higher.
- Adobe flash in browsers other than Chrome (ex. firefox) are only supported up to version 11.2. So this won't work.
- Google chromes uses Pepper flash which is supported up to 11.9!, but "Viewing Adobe Access (DRM) content is not supported, since Adobe does not support it on Linux." (docs)
So it looks like I am screwed. I need version 11.8 or higher which means firefox is out the door since adobe only supports it up to 11.2. Chrome's pepper flash is currently at version 11.9, but since it is a Adobe Access (DRM content) it is unsupported for linux users.
Any ideas? I have hit a wall. VM (WINE) the only option? Can I somehow get pepper flash into firefox?
