<pre class="k9mail">Hi Smylers,<br /><br />I get the same issue in Firefox, Chromium, Opera that you get in Chromium.<br />If I wireshark it, I see that C4 isn't responding to the request - I suggest a temporary backend issue, they're normally quite good at responding to issues brought to their attention.<br /><br />BTW - iPlayer should work wonderfully on Linux (other VOD products are available, cough..........)<br /><br /><br />R.<br /><br /><hr /><br />From: wylug-discuss-bounces@wylug.org.uk [wylug-discuss-bounces@wylug.org.uk] on behalf of Smylers [Smylers@stripey.com]<br />Sent: 27 May 2015 12:21<br />To: wylug-discuss@wylug.org.uk<br />Subject: [Wylug-discuss] Watching Channel 4 on Ubuntu<br /><br />Hi. Has anybody watched any Channel 4 catch-up TV programmes on Linux? I<br />have done this completely unproblematically in the past, but can't get<br />it working now, on Ubuntu 14.04.<br /><br />Here's what I tried, trying to play a programme such as:<br /><a

I got the<br />error: “A Digital Rights error (3322) has occurred. Please see our<br />_Help_ section. Alternatively, please use the retry button.”<br /><br />‘Retry’ just does the same thing again. The ‘Help’ link goes to:<br /><a href="http://www.channel4.com/4viewers/faq/name/digital-rights-3322/id/502974174">http://www.channel4.com/4viewers/faq/name/digital-rights-3322/id/502974174</a><br />which says to reset your Flash video licences at:<br /><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager08.html">http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager08.html</a><br /><br />I think I've done that (I pressed ‘Reset License Files’ then ‘Confirm’,<br />though
there's no indication that it succeeded), then restarted Firefox.<br />Same as before.<br /><br />So I tried Chromium. After pressing ‘Play’ (and signing in) the spinner<br />just spins; no error message, and no video.<br /><br />Anybody get anything different, or have any suggestions for making it<br />work?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Smylers<br /><br />* More specifically, only discovering that one now needs to register<br /> after pressing ‘play’, seeing the “or sign in with Twitter” option,<br /> thinking that sounds quicker than registering ... only to find that<br /> after linking your Twitter account, you then have to fill in a<br /> Channel 4 registration form as well, so it isn't really “or”. Giving<br /> up because our tea's now getting cold, watching something else for<br /> now. Doing the registration dance later, in the hope of watching<br /> something tomorrow.<br /><br />Smylers<br />--<br /><a
