DRM Content Not Playing

I have attempted to watch DRM using content that I have the rights to via subscription as well as by purchase. When I attempt to stream movies I OWN via Vudu or Youtube, it tells me that DRM features are not active when they very much are. I checked my settings and DRM content is enabled. I have also run into the same issue with Netflix as well. I cleared out my browser cache, which did not help. I disabled and re-enabed the DRM options. This did not help either. I restarted my computer multiple times and this did not help either.

Firefox says it is installing the features needed to watch the content but it never does, or rather, it doesn't show any progress. I have left my computer and browser running overnight and not had success.

Make sure you have updated the Widevine plugin to the latest version (4.10.2557.0).

  • Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins

You can toggle DRM off/on to see if that makes Firefox (re)load DRM components.

You can possibly check XHR requests in the Browser Console if this doesn't work as sometimes we see that the hosts file or security software is blocking access.
