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.
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.
That's more to do with the version of WideVine DRM your browser has - the DRM in Firefox is neutered so the chrome will always give the best experience. Why? Because the WideVine DRM is owned by Google.
It didn't work on Firefox Chrome or anything I tried
Of course I like every other human that uses any Service in the internet read the whole Terms and conditions when I signed up and everytime they changed.
I am pretty sure it is illegal in my country to not disclaim such information before you purchase. And it should not be legal anywhere!
Oh yes, trusty GUVGB3QMQRYRERYW, one of my favourite amazon pages. There's something just so playful about the page name that every time I think of GUVGB3QMQRYRERYW, I just have to smile. Unlike GUVGB3QNQRYRERYW, that page sucks ass!
"We ain't supporting free shit!"
Do this:
\- Disney
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.
I have regularly watched Disney plus and Max on my Linux systems. But not all Linux systems are equal. Watching it on something like Debian would be pretty hard. Debian generally doesn't support much in the way of DRM as it goes against most of their philosophy. You can get a browser installed with support for the widevine DRM they require. But it's a lot of work on a system like that. However under Arch or Endeavor OS it was relatively simple.
Yeah I was about to ask, since my buddy and I watch Star wars sometimes on his arch Linux machine I thought Disney+ just had native linux support
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.
