| 1414875 | 2016-01-21 00:59:00 | Hi Team Is there any way around the Google Widevine plugin for computers on XP? I won't be on Win 7 until I get a new computer in a few months time, so in the meantime I am missing a lot of favourite programs. The site opens OK and shows the available episodes, but won't play the video :mad: Is it possible that the relevant feature in W7 can be added to XP as a work-around or an unofficial update? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1414878 | 2016-01-21 08:08:00 | I've just installed the Widevine plugin in FF39, WXP, with no problems. Choice On Demand TV plays fine. I used the plugin from dl.google.com |

| 1414879 | 2016-01-23 05:09:00 | I use Palemoon on W7 so have just tried Widevine - what a pain. You have install and RUN the browser as administrator which I don't usually do. There's always another hurdle in life. |

I used the plugin from dl.google.com Tried it: First PF1 popped up a warning, then when I went ahead and allowed the download, it came up as corrupted. Bugger (again)! Cheers Billy 8-{) |
