it says "Remember that it's not possible to play films on GNU/Linux, but only on other compatible devices"... ahh what a wild world we live in
Respectful enough to call it GNU/Linux, but not support it... lmao
my exact thought XD
Wait, they're not letting you stream because of your OS? That's bullshit, I'd pirate it on principal at that point. No sense in waisting time trying to get your browser to report a different OS to work around it.
Using Linux means DRM protected content either plays in terrible quality or in RakutenTV's case not at all. Netflix is limited to 720p with low bitrate and Amazon limits to ~540p.
Changing user agent doesn't work because it's the DRM who decides whether the OS is supported.
Linux users have to decide between low quality legal streaming services, or piracy with high quality. It's not a difficult decision for me and my giant HDD.
Edit: I forgot the third option: streaming sticks (Roku, FireTV).
It's the only way, they can go fuck themselves
To add extra insult, Roku use linux on their boxes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roku_OS
Fuck Roku, they won’t let me set the dns server to my pi hole
“The consumer’s kids could change that setting and the consumer wouldn’t be able to change it back to a valid dns server”
% rg googl /etc/pf.conf 29:google_dns_block = "{ 10.68.80.59, 10.68.80.57, 10.68.80.64, 10.68.82.36 }" 30:google_dns = "{ 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 }" 101:rdr pass on {wg443, $int_if} proto {tcp, udp} from $google_dns_block to {$google_dns} port 53 -> 10.68.86.53 port 53
Rakuten != Roku
Ah, my bad, I read the "A" as an "O". I've never heard of rakuten.
Roku is really locked down, which allows them to control what users can do. This means DRM is more powerful on Roku Linux, than on desktop Linux. Same is true for Android. Not allowing Linux makes sense from the rightholders standpoint (just like it makes sense for me to pirate).
But then it probably works on Android.
I'd honestly prefer this than to what Netflix does: Don't warn you at all but then limit you to 480p or whatever. Now THAT is some bullshit. But hey, at least this way no one will ever be able to pirate 4k shows off Netflix, right? RIGHT?
What you get for running something that doesn't let them use your computer for their gain how could you?!
I always just turn DRM off and don't subscribe to these things... Now I know I had a better reason than I thought I did.
I didn't subscribed to it either and never will. My father received a coupon for a free movie and watched it. I then tried to log in on my pc and this happened so... ̿ \(͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)/ ̿
But like, why?
Because he said so
Well that's another one for the "list of companies that are never getting my money".
"Io capitano"?
More like "Io capitano uncino"LMAO EXACTLY
At least they got GNU/Linux right.
Changing user-agent strings might work, but honestly, I'd likely unsubscribe...
You could spoof your browser agent if you need to but I would pirate.
