1413354 2015-12-24 06:38:00 Choice TV have updated their website and you now need the Widevine plugin to watch on demand programs.

However I can't get it to install on Firefox (meant to be supported) running windows 10 or in any browser enfact.

Anyone know of any work arounds?

In Palemoon - works perfectly. (had to sign up to try it) :)

1413356 2015-12-24 08:30:00 I've just scanned through the requirements and I see that XP is not supported, so that's me down the gurgler.

Bit of a bugger really, I like a lot of the Choice programming content and don't see why they can't support XP, unfortunately it will be another 6 months or so before I get a new computer and upgradeto W7.

I don't understand why they must make things so difficult!

Cheers

1413357 2015-12-24 19:25:00 Come on Billy, W7 is boring. W10 is where all the fun and games are. As WT says, "One thing positive about Windows 10 is that there is never a dull moment anymore on ye olde computer".

Cheers and best wishes for Christmas.

1413360 2015-12-25 08:29:00 Thanks

I use the 86.

Current installed Version: 25.8.1 (x86)

6887

I just use the web installer and it sorts its self. https://www.palemoon.org/

Options after installing:
6889

Its a bit weird, maybe FF has something in it, because Palemoon is a variant of FF :confused:

Thanks for the 'tongue in cheek' encouragement B :D, but I am not really interested in fun and games (of either variety, genuine fun, or 'fun & games' trying to work out what MS did next. My computer is 90% for business, 8% for my Vintage radio interests and 2% for PF1 & Monday Laughs, consequently I have no desire to work my way through the swathe of headaches W8 & W10 have given the members of this forum, and the untold number of unfortunates who don't know about Press F1.....

I'll stay with W7 Pro until my next computer dies, after which I may not have any need for a computer at all.

Cheers
