It reads "To play some of audio and video content on this page, you need to enable DRM", with more info link to this page.

Now, this is getting ridiculous. I am using Gog instead of Steam, FDroid instead of Google Market and Linux instead of Windowz. But this thing is starting to crawl into Firefox! Remember which role has Firefox play Internet Exploder times? It brought WWW back from IE standard-bending monopoly. Now it offers to enable DRM. This is ridiculous...
You sure it isn't Youtube Red?

Red? Is RT red? Jokes aside, no. Its all absolutely drm-free channels.

I'm expecting that to change any minute now since YT = Google. : (
FireFox has supported DRM html code since ver 38. Adobe Premier might have downloaded on the backend without your knowledge... check it out!

This just happened to show up now, I did no updates today. From Fx plugins I got pretty standard ones: icedtea, mozplugger, packagekit, cisco 264. I have PPAPI flash, but its fully disabled and controlled via FlashDisable.

Hmmm what video in particular? I'm not seeing the message but i use PaleMoon and FFv25...

And worst case i use bulk downloader or SaveDeo to forcefully download the videos and play them locally.

*sigh* DRM html5...

I really hope at some point during Trump's administration that DRM is outlawed or remove the restriction of 'can't hack/remove DRM' since it offers nothing good for the consumer, as you can't modify your own hardware with those in place. And it is harming farmers as a simple example of what to expect, although a few car companies are pushing towards renting vs buying cars, and being self-driving means you can't control them.

Videos all play fine if I simply ignore it.

Not seeing any issues.

Although to note i do have adblocker and no-script which kills all unneeded portions of Youtube that i don't like...

But if ignoring it works, it might be an option to download the sources for Firefox, find the line to tell you to turn on the DRM and simply comment it out... recompile and good to go.

Nah, that's not what i expect. I hope the DMCA to be updated so we can remove it ourselves... and that trying to override/remove DRM isn't a criminal offense. If DRM is outlawed it can be removed over time with new hardware or patches/docs as appropriate.

I'd worry more about net neutrality for the moment.
