[orca-list] Trying to play DRM video, wondering if there's an inaccessible step?



Netflix' HTML 5 video now apparently works in Firefox under Linux, provided you've checked the box under Preferences, Content to allow DRM playback. I've done so, confirmed that Widevine is downloaded and set to Always Activate, but Netflix still prompts me to install Silverlight.


In reading up on this, some folks describe a step where visiting Netflix prompts you to download something in order to play content. I'm wondering if this might be happening, but the interface to do so isn't exposed accessibly?


I found this site:


https://demo.castlabs.com/


which apparently has demos of DRM content. The initial video is unencrypted, so you'll need to click on one of the DRM videos with the previously-mentioned box checked. When I do this, nothing happens after pressing Play.


If there is in fact not an inaccessible popup appearing, then I'll debug down different avenues. But I'm not finding a whole lot of folks complaining that this isn't working, and the demo site removes Netflix from the equation entirely, so...


Thanks.
