In April 2013, on the Samsung Chromebook, Netflix became the first company to offer HTML5 video using EME. On the same day, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who joined in 2014 to participate in the decision making, published an open letter resigning from W3C. On July 6, 2017, W3C publicly announced its intention to publish an EME web standard, and did so on September 18.

ĮME has been highly controversial because it places a necessarily proprietary, closed decryption component which requires per-browser licensing fees into what might otherwise be an entirely open and free software ecosystem. MPEG-DASH with MPEG-CENC protected content. The use of a third-party key management system may be required, depending on whether the publisher chooses to scramble the keys.ĮME is based on the HTML5 Media Source Extensions (MSE) specification, which enables adaptive bitrate streaming in HTML5 using e.g. This allows the use of HTML5 video to play back DRM-wrapped content such as streaming video services without the use of heavy third-party media plugins like Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight (both discontinued). io /encrypted-media /Įncrypted Media Extensions ( EME) is a W3C specification for providing a communication channel between web browsers and the Content Decryption Module (CDM) software which implements digital rights management (DRM). Some desktop environments (Xfce, Openbox) uses DBus too, but they can't work with media keys properly.Īs a workaround, you can use mediakeys-daemon script to make needed DBus service. This feature has been tested on Ubuntu 15.04 with Firefox 40.0a2. On Ubuntu, these can all be installed simultaneouslyīy installing the libglib2.0-0 package, if not already installed. Requires the glib, gobject and gio shared libraries to be installedĪnd available to Firefox. This add-on listens for global media key presses on Linux via DBus and as such, Xdotool keyup alt keyup super keyup z key XF86AudioPrev - Prev, example for super+alt+z Before v.0.7.9 Xdotool keyup alt keyup super keyup x key XF86AudioNext - Next, example for super+alt+x Xdotool keyup alt keyup super keyup a key XF86AudioPlay - play/pause, where you must add keyup for all keys of your hotkey (this example is for super+alt+a) If you don't have media keys, you can simulate them by these commands:

Requirements: libxcb-keysyms library ( libxcb-keysyms1 package for deb-based distributives, xcb-util-keysyms for yum-based ones) Now this add-on uses XCB to capture key presses. Supported Sites: youtube, pandora, spotify, bandcamp, google play, yandex, soundcloud, tidal, deezer, plex, vk, subsonic, jamstash, overcast.fm, .uk,, di.fm,, and.
