Google Movies / Flash DRM Content stopped working

Hi,
I already had Google Movies working and I'm aware of the wiki page which deals with the HAL issue and Flash DRM content and helped me in the first place. Anyway I used fake-hal together with udisks2 and Firefox to watch movies from google movies.

The problem is that it stopped working recently, by telling me that there are problems with licences or that I try to access content which I need to pay for. I thought, this is related to the last rather popular flash update, a couple of weeks ago, since there were some security issues, they needed to fix. So I more or less waited for news from others to have similar problems like I have which are then taken care of by updates in hal or fake-hal, because that flash update requires some updates to those libraries.

Well, this wasn't the case. It appears that this isn't some regular problem and I also wasn't able to find anybody else having this problem recently.
So does anybody can provide some ideas, what I can do to fix this? I repeatedly reinstalled hal and fake-hal and deleted the cache in ~/.Adobe/. The usual guides doesn't provide much more information. Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks in advance

I don't know if this will help you, but for DRM protected content I use PlayOnLinux with the Windows Firefox directly downloaded/installed from Mozilla, and the Windows Flash Player plugin directly downloaded/installed from Adobe.
This requires much lib32 library packages.

Re: Google Movies / Flash DRM Content stopped working

Thanks for the advice. I will try this.

EDIT: Well, unfortunately using wine and the windows version of firefox I end up having the same errors than in native linux. I still get "This Video requiers Payment" or some error about resetting my licence data.

Any other Ideas?
