Amazon prime videos won't play on all openSUSE installs

weather its Leap or slowroll amazon prime videos won’t be able to play on vivaldi as well as firefox the error code (7131) suggest some issue with DRM and upon searching I found out this happens only on Linux. Hope this get sorts out I have shifted every device Laptop, Desktop, MiniPC to openSUSE now I can only play it on my mobile which i never do. Hope this DRM issue sorts out.

Is “Play DRM-controlled content” enabled in your Firefox settings?

yes of course, widevine updated in browsers, packman repos enabled so have all the codecs, don’t know what has changed…

You may have done things correct, but having a repo added does NOT mean there is anything installed from it. One really have to do something because there is no magic.

Show rpm -qa | grep codecs

It shouldn’t be a problem as works fine here on several different PC’s both old & new running a mix of TW & Slowroll. Interestingly my recently set up Mini PC is fine with it too in Firefox, without Packman at all. VPN’s can cause issues if you are using one of those. So I guess it shouldn’t be an insurmountable problem & not sure that anything has changed.

└─❯ rpm -qa | grep codecs
gstreamer-plugins-bad-codecs-1.26.10-160000.1.pm.1.x86_64
kf6-kcodecs-6.25.0-bp161.1.2.x86_64

You have to install vlc-codecs from Packman, if that is where you want them from

I’m not a Prime subscriber, but from what I read on the net error 7131 is network related and has nothing to do with codecs.

Here’s what I see.

could that be caused by some codecs from packman being behind the OSS repos ?
i’ve noticed my system got libavcodec63 installed from the official repos, but packman is at libavcodec62, opi codecs installed ffmpeg but from the OSS repos as well, could that be the cause ?

Welcome to the Forums, but maybe you have to read the thread carefully.
The reported problem has nothing to do with codecs.
The thread is dealing with Leap 16 and Slowroll and libavcodec63 is not there yet.
Plus, libavcodec63 is part of ffmpeg-9 and that is not even available for general use in Tumbleweed at the time of writing.
Last but not least, using opi-codecs is known to cause package conflicts sooner or later, so consider checking your system and uninstalling stuff you don’t really need.
