Upgrade your user agent with this one weird trick!
Upgrade, ha?
OK, time to install TempleOS.
Hey, at least it told you. When i was fiddling to get disney plus working on my own setup it just refused to play until i changed the reported OS to windows. Nothing else was changed. I really have no idea why they would go out of their way to block specific operating systems.
The reason is DRM. Windows supports some baked in DRM that Linux doesn’t.
They just whitelist few of the “supported”, operating systems. The message says what your OS is because it blindly read that from the UA.
Same with Amazon Videos.
AFTER I PAID it told me my os does not support hd quality Playback.
With kodi and a plugin I got it working to run at 1080p
Saved it with OBS out of spite.
Changing the user agent unfortunately didn’t work.
You did? I also tried that, but the best resolution I got was 540p… As far as my research went that was because they require a higher widevine level not available on linux for HD
Install kodi and then the vod-Amazon plugin.
Then you have at least 1080 if higher res is possible idk.
This must be a while back, because it works fine here.
A few months ago they had a bug that prevented playback on Linux. But that was resolved after a week or so.
Software gore? Actually more likely software cringe.
EDIT: I think this one is more fit !assholedesign@lemmy.world
Pearson is stupid, but for homework you can get around it by changing your user agent. For proctoring you have to actually boot into windows though
I don’t think you even need to do that, just click remind me later
Fuck Pearson. Absolute leeches on society.
Have to go their testing centers for certifications. Place feels so damn sterile I wanna die, and the buzz of the fluorescent tubes is just…
Place feels like the Backrooms but with less yellow
Does it depend on a binary or is it really a website requiring an operating system?
It doesn’t block you from using it but it claims that it will only function properly on Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, iOS or Android. Which is complete bullshit. It actually didn’t work properly but I doubt that would change if I tried it in another platform, the website was so clunky anyway
Can’t you just block the popup with an element blocker?
