I've had a nice surprise today. Many of you are probably aware of this, but I was only informed by my sister this afternoon, so....
I've had a NetFlix a/c for 2-3 years. NetFlix, of course, requires the Widevine modules, needs either FF-Quantum or one of the Chromium 'clones', and requires a paid subscription to access content. The BBC's iPlayer - for accessing 'on-demand' TV - only wants a free registration, along with confirmation that you have a TV licence; doesn't need WideVine, and will play in any browser that supports HTML5.
(I always thought iPlayer was subscription-only as well, but, not so....)
The upshot of all this is that it will happily run in Palemoon, which I'm quite chuffed about. And the astonishing thing is, it will even - mostly! - play on ye anciente P4 Dell lappie. It's a bit hesitant, and stops for several seconds every wee while to let the buffering play 'catch-up'.....but it does play.
NetFlix, on the other hand, is a complete 'no-go' on the Dell. Oh, Iron 69 will run in DPup 'Stretch (dual-booting with Slacko 560), but it takes the hardware all its time simply to do that, never mind try to access NetFlix, and then run all the decoding crap through WideVine. Kills it stone dead.....and that's with the player settings dialled down as basic as they'll go.
Which means that anywhere that current-ish Palemoon will run, there will iPlayer run as well. Even Racy, and darry19662018's 'upgraded' Pup 4.3.1.....called, appropriately, the 'Phoenix'. Nice one.
Mike.
