Is this attached screenshot the type of message you get? If so, you should |
| 20 |
have clicked on the link there which states "Why can't I watch videos on my |
| 21 |
Chrome browser in Linux?" ... and this is the message it provides: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The Flash Player Plugin in Chrome removed support for Digital Rights |
| 24 |
Management (DRM) in Linux as part of the upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4. This |
| 25 |
upgrade was bundled with the latest Chrome 22 update for Linux. If you applied |
| 26 |
the Chrome update, you are no longer able to watch DRM-protected content, such |
| 27 |
as movies and TV episodes. Trailers are unaffected as they do not use DRM. To |
| 28 |
get around this issue, you can use a different browser, such as Firefox. For |
| 29 |
information on Chrome and the Flash Player plug-in, see: |

My Gentoo workstation is using firefox-18.0.1 and just updated to |
| 33 |
adobe-flash-11.2.202.262 but won't play the free instant video I tried. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Since that's the latest version of flash in portage, I supposed you could try |
| 36 |
and get the later source and create a local overlay and try that. |
