vbn89bvn0909 · 2024-10-23 14:54:38

hi first of all thank you very much for Arch Linux its awesome i personally use lxqt with the archinstall when i need to install a new os,

and i was just wondering if i could somehow achieve a Full HD stream for amazon prime video i tryed to do it via this tutoral: https://github.com/RaldS7/primevideo-linux (that didnt worked)

i thought maybe somebody here have achieved an 'simple' fix outside of installing an extra vm for playing full hd content

much thanks in advance

Widevine seems required, however, the platforms still limit to 720p. Sometimes they block based on User-Agent, sometimes on other nefarious tracking techniques. They apparently don't want your money. Vote with your wallet.

playing DRM content is not a problem but there is a difference on arch vs windows as we see here:

The main reason sites use widevine digital restrictions* management is to prevent users from copying stuff .

As far as I know linux doesn't provide a full secure path that ensures copying is not possible, so you get lower quality .

Do they give you a discount for receiving lower quality streams ?

* yes, I know officially it is rights, but that doesn't describe what it does.

Recent i915 modules show up w/ mei_pxp though?

sudo journalctl -b | grep -iE '(pxp|hdcp)'

funny thing is i only randomly noticed the 'big difference' between hd and full hd after watching 13 seasons of supernatural

and since my setup is almost complete the drm thing would be the last thing i was looking for, kinda unlucky i guess

this was the output:

systemd-modules-load[123]: Inserted module 'mei_pxp'

and its still only downloading 1,17GB

I'm pretty sure the only way to get HD amazon prime video remains to use chrome or edge under wine (with some winetricks bells and whistles added).

this is what i tryed:

sudo pacman -S wine wine-gecko wine-mono
sudo pacman -S winetricks
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-chrome winecfg (i set wine to win7)
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-chrome wine ChromeSetup.exe (installed chrome)
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-chrome wine ~/.wine-chrome/drive_c/Program\ Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe

Reboot

started chrome went to amazon and receive this message: Error code: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Sorry I can't actually help with that - there are a lot of guides floating around with alleged working steps needed. I've never bothered.

I grew up attaching tin foil to rabbit ear antennas to be able to even make out the image of what was being broadcast: HD is way too classy for me.
