Re: Something to take seriously.
My understanding is that those builds aren't "EME-free", they just have EME turned off by default. Which is a good step, because that should disable downloading CDMs by default.

Thinking of it, does that mean that the related code is still there (but disabled), or does --disable-eme actually mean that Firefox has been compiled without the EME-related code?Gusar wrote:Check about:buildconfig in the regular and the eme-free versions, the latter likely has --disable-eme among the options while the former doesn't.

Re: Something to take seriously.
Don't know what to make of it?
I've only ever downloaded the EME-free versions.
From FF 48 & the only mention of eme, "--enable-eme=adobe,widevine"?

Re: Something to take seriously.
The latter. The directories dom/media/eme/ and dom/media/platforms/agnostic/eme/ in the Firefox source code are not compiled when --disable-eme is specified. Code elsewhere in dom/media/ referring to EME is also not compiled.Drumbrake wrote:Thinking of it, does that mean that the related code is still there (but disabled), or does --disable-eme actually mean that Firefox has been compiled without the EME-related code?

Re: Something to take seriously.
But AFAIK they don't use --disable-eme for the "EME-free" builds.

Re: Something to take seriously.
So what, the backend is still there, only it should be ineffectual in EME-free.
And what, in our case, we're [SeaMonkey] actually compiling the builds with the --disable-eme flag (or at least, that is the intent)?

Re: Something to take seriously.
Could be there's some preliminary industry updating going on.
libdrm2 is being updated in Ubuntu and Linux Mint for the various display packages, intel, nuance, etc.

Re: Something to take seriously.
It's actually fully functional. It's just that no CDMs (content decryption modules) will be downloaded, and of course websites will be told that EME isn't there. Unless you go to about:config and flip on media.eme.enabled, then even the "EME-free" build should actually do EME.therube wrote:only it should be ineffectual in EME-free.
About Seamonkey, I downloaded the latest Linux nightly and checked about:buildconfig, no --disable-eme there. However, media.eme.enabled is set to false, and even if I flip that to true html5test.com says no DRM support. So no clue what the Seamonkey folks are doing.

Re: Something to take seriously.
Last I checked, SeaMonkey has EME support but only for ClearKey which is just a decryption plugin, no DRM.

Re: Something to take seriously.
Wondering how effective or accurate the html5test is?
Tried it with the default setting posted above and got a 396 out of 555.
Changed the settings to all false, closed FF and reopened tested and got the same result.
Changed the settings to all enabled closed Firefox and reopened, same result.
There must be something else needed to effect a change in the test or the settings don't have an effect at present.
Identifies Linux Mint as Ubuntu and FF as 47, which is probably OK but allows for a correction, doesn't keep a record as it returned to Ubuntu for each test..
