Somemusic or movies that you download or stream might be protected by copyright. When you go to a site with protected content, Chrome may check your device content settings before it shows protected content.
Some sites use protected content identifiers on your device to provide better quality playback. When you go to those sites, Chrome checks your device's protected content identifier setting to find whether the site can use the identifier. Chrome allows sites to use protected content identifiers by default.
Many streaming websites (Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime Video, etc.) will leverage DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology to block or restrict access to Copyright protected content. Brave req...
Digital Rights Management (DRM) handles the authorization and use of copyrighted material. This copyrighted material may include movies, music, books, shows, games, and other digital assets. Before someone uses DRM protected content, they must be authenticated in some way. For example, if someone wants to copy a particular DRM protected file, they might need to enter their username and password.
Some other DRM restrictions apply to media files. DRM protection is coded into the protected file, so its simplicity or complexity depends on the content creator. For example, a content creator might allow their media file to play for only a limited number of times on a device. Or they might want the file to play only on a particular application.
Streaming or hosting services are an excellent example of DRM protected content. Content creators release their content on DRM protected websites to monetize their work. Common applications of DRM include:
If I use the Ethernet/5GHz Ultra, I get an unrecoverable "protected content license error" within 5-10 seconds after starting play. Using the same HDMI cable and HDMI input as the Premiere (although I have swapped between 3 different cables and inputs during troubleshooting).
Can you please provide us the following information:
-Roku device model
-serial number
-device ID
-software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
-does this issue occur on a specific channel? if so, what channel and what version/build is the channel (this can be found by selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button)
-tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times)
-steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing
With more information, we will be able to assist you further.
Thanks,
From Roku Home screen, go to SIFF channel. Click on Ticket Holders/Enter Code. Enter a 9 digit voucher code (I can supply a used code if used within 48 hours). Submit the code. At the movie screen, click Play. 5-10 seconds in the error occurs.
There is something specific to Roku Ultra DRM restrictions that blocks those films. I had the same problem with another Film Festival. They play fine on a Roku TV. Note that on the SIFF page FAQ it says "Download or add the SIFF Channel app on Amazon Fire TV, Android TV (search for Seattle International Film Festival), Apple TV (Gen4 and above), or Roku (Software version 9.2 and above; not compatible with Roku Ultra)." I'd be interested to know what exactly they're blocking.
That not compatible with Roku Ultra text was recently added to the SIFF site at my suggestion, after wrestling with it for days. If they had identified this beforehand, I would have saved $100
Thanks for adding it -- I'd really like to know why the Ultra is different. But I'm sure you helped some other folks avoid paying for things they couldn't watch. I have access to a Roku TV so it did play there. Very strange.
Both Disney+ and Peacock. I am not able to watch anything. Was working just fine yesterday and then all the sudden stopped and then gave me this error code. Have done a network connection restart and have restarted my tv. Nothing is working.
I have had a roku Express for 4 years. I received this error :Protected content license error" when playing a particular channel. One other channel wont play at all. Other free channels work fine through roku. I am able to use portable devices to stream these 2 channels.
What specific channel are you experiencing this issue with? Try removing the channel from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channel back once more.
Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.
I've been using Web Spotify in Chrome without any problems for quite a while now. But suddenly after a recent browser update, and only after logging in my Spotify account, I've been getting the message: "Playback of protected content is not enabled". I've also tried to open it in Firefox (113.0.1) and everything is running just fine.
Getting this error all of a sudden - happened back in May and went away, just used Spotify in Microsoft Edge. Following Spotify help solution does nothing as it is already enabled. Unsure how to proceed with the Widevine comments. Anyone able to explain for the non-technical savvy folks?
Hey zeeps!
Back when I encountered this error, I've tried at least 5 different solutions to it and none were successful. That included cleaning the browser cache, checking in anonymous/incognito mode if Spotify was working, checking if it was an ad-block extension or something that was causing the issue, trying to update Widevine in the Extensions area inside of your browser options, deleting the Widevine folder in the Google Chrome files for the browser to force update it; even waiting for an update of Chrome itself to check if things would normalize.
Using Google Chrome in Pop_OS! (Linux based Operating System), the only thing that worked for me was the chown command in the terminal, which is basically to change the owner of a file and/or directory. Setting it as Root by using the following command: sudo chown -R root:root /home/(USER)/.var/app/
com.google.Chrome/config/google-chrome/WidevineCdm/(VERSION NUMBER)
In which sudo stands for "super user do" (a Linux/MacOS thing); -R is for the recursive operation allowing the Root to be set for all files in the given directory, as well as for files and directories within all sub-directories; (USER) is your user name and (VERSION NUMBER) is Widevine's current version.
I imagine you are using Edge in Windows (10 or 11, probably). If you haven't tried the first solutions yet, I highly recommend you doing so just for the sake of testing. But if you want to skip to the chown one, check if this command applies to Windows and how can you "translate it" to use it in the Windows Command Prompt (CMD), as well as the right path to your Widevine folder inside Microsoft Edge's files. If chown is not a Windows thing, check on how can you change owner to Root. And remember to reboot your system afterwards.
Sorry for the wall of text but hopefully it might help you!
So I've made a script which looks for the ip that enters the site if it is between 66.249.66.1 to 66.249.71.206. So if the ip is between this range, i set "the google bot" as online and it will be able to see all pages a normal user would see.
This is not a good idea and no, you cannot trust these IP ranges. The IP addresses used by Google are not public. But some/most search engine crawlers can be identified by doing a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address.
The best option is to take a subset of that content that you are willing to be publicly visible and make a portion of the site that exposes this content to the search engines and users, and if users want to see more they'll have to login.
First Click Free is designed to protect your content while allowing you to include it Google's search index. To implement First Click Free, you must allow all users who find your page through Google search to see the full text of the document that the user found in Google's search results and that Google's crawler found on the web without requiring them to register or subscribe to see that content. The user's first click to your content is free and does not require logging in. You may, however, block the user with a login or payment or registration request when he tries to click away from that page to another section of your content site.
Basically Google lets the publishers decide how much content they will offer without restrictions, but they should mark up their content accordingly. So Google understands which content is protected and doesn't penalize the site for cloaking. A publisher can decide to offer a limited number of pages or just portions of pages for free and have the rest restricted.
