To tell whether widevine is installed, ignore the plugins page (it always says "Will be installed shortly" even when widevine is working fine) and instead use the test webpages I posted previously.I can't get WideVine to show installed in FireFox in Raspberry Pi OS .... and Google Searches have shown this to be a relatively common problem.
There are different levels of widevine protection, we only support level 3, some content may require level 1 or 2. And some websites may detect you're not on x86_64 and refuse to send you encrypted content. I make sure that widevine L3 works in Firefox using the test websites mentioned earlier, but I can't guarantee that every website will work.How is it that I can't watch ' The Fifth Element ' on TubiTV from either my Windows 7 installation (on the HP z600 PC) or from my Raspberry Pi 5 machine (running Raspberry Pi OS) ..... but it plays just fine when running on FireFox in Windows 10 (on an HP z820) and UBUNTU 24.04 (on both the HP z820 and HP z600) ?
I recommend trying to find out what widevine level is required by the websites you're trying to use, and trying to see if changing your user-agent helps. I can't provide detailed instructions on how to do this.
