Can not watch CBS, Netflix, and Hulu

Would location have any bearing on this issue at all.?

This may well be a regional thing, since like MC, i just extracted the portable x86 and still get the DRM errors.

Edit: 28.0.0 and.28.2.2 and 28.3.0 portable x86 all worked fine, went to 28.3.1 portable again and it also worked.
Hey! Go figure. Went back to my installed version and it too is working fine again. Maybe a change on Netflix's end.

So, if I'm understanding this post correctly, I have to switch to the portable version to get to Netflix to work?

What I was doing was testing with the portables with no add-ons or changes to the config.
MC indicated that 28.3.1 was working fine for him however my 28.3.1 install was not. I downloaded the 28.3.1 portable and tested it though it wouldn't work, got DRM error. The next day I downloaded 28.0.0 28.2.2 and 28.3.0 tested them and they worked.
Went back to the 28.3.1 portable and it also worked. Went to my installed 28.3.1 and it is also working fine.
All I can figure is that maybe Netflix made some kind of change on their end.

Hello,

Netflix works for me in Pale Moon but it does not work in Basilisk. Widevine had an update 4 days ago and this might be the problem but I don't know how to fix it.

Thanks

I watch CBS using the flash plugin on Pale Moon v28.3.1 x64. It doesn't work well with ad-blockers, particularly uBlock Origin. My user agent is set to native.

It doesn't work well with ad-blockers, particularly uBlock Origin.

That type of issue is usually caused by a single blocking rule.
Simply use uBO's logger, to see what's being blocked..
Then it's just a matter of creating the necessary exception rule.

EDIT:
First, you could try enabling 'AdGuard Spyware filter' and/or 'Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List'..
They both contain some exception rules for CBS.com, which doesn't seem to be present in other filters.

I figured as much.

I'm not one to mess with the filters though, or test other filters.
