It has cost them, but it is already possible. When Movistar launched Yomvi about nine years ago, it did like everyone else: think only of Windows users. Therefore, it required software such as Silverlight, which made it only work in Internet Explorer officially or in Safari by installing the plug-in. Soon an extension was released that made it work in Chrome, but Firefox users could not access the service. A few months ago they introduced changes, and now we can already see Movistar Plus in Firefox without having to try any tricks or go crazy.
They have been updated, and they were missing. Now too works in Chrome without the aforementioned extension, and the changes have been so profound that it not only works on desktop browsers, but also on mobile, including the most restricted, iOS Safari. The only thing that is needed in Firefox is to activate the possibility of playing DRM content, something that we will have already done if we use Spotify or any other service that reproduces content with rights. This is not necessary in Chrome.
Movistar Plus is no longer obsolete
On the web where they tell us about this possibility, which is from last July, they show an image with some minimum requirements, but it is not valid. In it they only talk about Windows and macOS and they continue to mention the extension for Chrome or Edge, but this is no longer the case. Only a browser capable of playing protected content is required, regardless of the operating system we are using. Checked in Firefox, Chrome (without extension), Safari for iOS (in macOS it already worked) and in Vivaldi. It works in all of them, and is compatible with Picture-in-Picture in Firefox and Safari, so we can see channels, movies and series in a floating window if we use one of these browsers. In Chrome we can also do it with an extension like Picture in Picture Button.
As for the functions, in all browsers we can reproduce the content and we have two hours to reproduce in false direct, but we cannot make recordings. Be that as it may, the good news is that it is already available in Firefox, which It will allow us to enjoy Movistar Plus without problems in devices such as the PineTab (when everything improves) or a Raspberry Pi.
WIDEWINE (drm) Is the problem
And in Manjaro they told me that google does not want to publish it for linux aarch64.
So that in our pinetabs you can enjoy content with DRM is very much up in the air.
And I don't think alternative DRM-free content is being consumed in such quantities to worry those who use it. But it could happen that more is pirated.
