Hi,
I'm attempting to play a video download I purchased at a British video-on-demand service called Digital Theatre. The service uses a player which is an AIR application:
http://www.digitaltheatre.com/desktop-player
DigitalTheatre uses DRM with Flash Access.
I have Ubuntu 11.10 64bit and flash plugin 11. I successfully installed both the latest available Adobe Air version for Linux as well as the player. For Flash Access support, I followed the findings reported in the last post in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4049620
The adobe-flashplugin package and HAL are installed (I also tried the flashplugin-installer from Ubuntu repositories). The test video mentioned in the first post of the thread works fine, and DRM events show no errors. However, when attempting to play the video purchase I get "Unfortunately the playback has failed. You are not authorised to view this production". I can't see anything informative in the Adobe Air install log, and running the player from command line gives no data. Previously I had Arch Linux installed, and there in command line I saw DRM error id 3344.
Attempting to launch the f4v file of the purchase in Firefox, it complains that the following two plugins are missing (and cannot be found in the search):
video/x-gst-fourcc-encv decoder
audio/x-gst-fourcc-enca decoder
I have a 32 bit Ubuntu 11.10 on my netbook, the same version of flashplugin and with HAL installed, and there I can play the video purchase without problem. This would indicate that it's a 64 bit issue, but I'm puzzled as to why it is not working on my 64 bit machine, since the writer in the above thread apparently was able to solve the problem with HAL and adobe-flashplugin and since I can play the test video just fine.
