I just installed Fedora 34 today and Firefox comes with it as the default browser. I'm currently running 88.01 64-bit for Fedora -1.0

I can't watch any videos on crave.ca, it keeps saying the widevince cdm plugin has crashed. I tried signing out, reducing security options etc. but nothing seems to help.

Running from a console shows: Channel error: cannot send/recv #1279

Any ideas to get this working?

It could have been possible that Widevine relies on other components and crashes because some are missing. I don't know if such issues would show in 'dmesg' or somewhere else (e.g. if you start Firefox via a terminal window).

Make sure you have the latest FFmpeg and libavcodec packages installed.

Thanks for the idea!

I installed ffmpeg, and made sure libavcodec was included. I also installed a bunch of other codecs, and even rebooted the system, but the plugin still crashes.

EDIT: Update, I also tried Amazon Prime Video, and the plugin crashes there as well.

Hey, thanks, this lead me to a working solution! I really should have checked dmesg myself. I just didn't think to do it for a component.

Anyway, dmesg said that a shared object was segfaulting, so I started going down that road, then had an idea to install the standard Firefox browser instead of this "for Fedora" thing. I'm not a fan of distro-specific builds for this exact reason.

The standard firefox browser is working fine. So, I guess I should file a bug. Anybody know who manages the "Firefox for Fedora" build? I'm not sure if it would be Fedora or Mozilla, though I suspect the former.
