    Yeah, NBA League Pass doesn’t work on Linux either, they partnered with Microsoft to implement their new DRM and made the decision not to support Linux. I assume this is also the case here.

    The only way to get around it is to use a virtual machine, which is silly.

      I got Amazon Prime to work in HD for a short while by running Chrome in Wine. Didn’t get more than 480p on my phone. At some point it broke and I went back to pirating, because that allowed me to get the episodes earlier, at a higher quality, on all of my devices. Setting up a VM will inevitably kill smooth playback, I’m not even going to bother with that.

      If their DRM worked and shows would take weeks to leak, I wouldn’t be too bothered by their restrictions, but with every show releasing on torrent sites before they make it to Europe, I’m kind of pissed off at the whole ordeal.

      The SkyShowTime people have a subscription with generic ads and a more expensive subscription with ads for their own shows. I can’t even select an ad-free option. I swear to god, it’s like they want people to pirate their shows.
