Hi Everyone,
I have a paid subscription of an online streaming service Hotstar.com in
India. The problem is, they are using some Flash based DRM technique with
their videos due to which they don't play on Fedora 24 Workstation. I only
get a movie not loaded message in context menu of flash player.
I searched about this issue and found few things to try like using
freshplayer to get PepperFlash or installing the HAL shim library. But none
of these methods seems to work with Fedora 24. Can anybody hep me out with
this? It is so frustrating to go back to Windows just to watch my favorite
streams.
Thanks in advance.

I've struggled with this a lot when Amazon Prime still used Flash. I tried
all the workarounds, jumping from one to the other, as each one broke with
each update. I think the best option nowadays is to avoid such sites
entirely. Most of the major video streaming services have switched to HTML5
video, instead of Flash. I'm not sure it's worth struggling to continue to
run Flash on Fedora.
Hi Christopher,
Yes, I understand and I use Netflix too which works properly. It's just
that Hotstar has a lot of Indian movies and TV Series that Netflix
doesn't, in fact no other service has. So I was kinda hoping if I can go
with a workaround till the time they switch to HTML5.
Hi Samuel Sieb,
Yes, I tried Chrome as well. The problem is on Linux, DRM in flash is
implemented using HAL libraries as per what I have read, and that lib is
no longer used. So whether it's Chrome or Firefox, its not working, The
new version of Flash plugin that Adobe has released is security fixes
only. They will never introduce new features in future as well.

Did you actually follow the link I gave you? They have apparently
changed their minds. The version there is a beta of 23, not the 11 that
we've had for years.
Hi
How is it installed? Did not find that link in there.

Scroll down the page a bit to the section titled "Flash Player 23 Beta
Installers". Then under Linux, there is link for 32-bit and 64-bit.
The link gives you a libflashplayer.so file. Assuming you have
previously installed the flash-plugin package from Adobe, you should
replace the one in /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/ with the one you downloaded.

Have you tried using Chrome? Also, Adobe just released a new version of
Flash on Linux for testing at
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html, but I think I read
that it doesn't include DRM.
