I watch the F1 on NowTV. In windows this works fine in Firefox but not in Linux. My research turned up various posts linking to the “widevine” package that depends on “glibc-widevine” but that seems to have disappeared. What happened to it? did it work? where can I get it? is there an alternative?

    Paramount+ won’t play on Linux and Netflix plays at a lower bitrate.

    DRM video on Linux will vary service to service. This is because each service sets their own rules for DRM using widevine. One service may require different levels of security than others. Resulting in different results depending on this service.

    Unfortunately Linux is not a priority for these services and you’re likely out of luck.
