watching an Amazon prime movie in Second life

[JuanUaury]

I have tried to watch an amazon prime movie on my Deimos TV and I get up to the point where i press play button and I keep getting an error message that says:  your viewer is missing  "WidevineCdm"  when i go to Chrome and look for it , it is there and upgraded.. anybody know the answer to that?

Why would you want to watch an Amazon prime movie in SL ?

Only you will see it - you can't use SL to share the video stream with others.

You could just run it in a regular browser.

The best way to watch a video that is not free and publicly available (ie. anything from a premium streaming service) in SL is to get everyone together and individually watch it in RL while leaving chat open.

That is not going to do you any good at all. SL viewers (LL and third party) have part of the Chromium viewer built in, known as CEF or Chromium Embedded Framework and it uses this to display shared media (like on your in-world TV). This is a very limited version and does not support DRM protected streams. Widevine is one of the methods with which content is being protected.
So... Whether you wish to watch streaming content from Amazon Prime, Netflix or even some free service like Tubi or PlutoTV, you will be SOL trying to watch that in SL if it is protected in any way. 

Best stick with Youtube and perhaps a few other services. but thing is, if it does not work on your TV, then it simply does not work. Nothing you can do about that.

Point WebCam at the screen and livestream it, then watch that in second life on screen 2? 😉

sorry not sorry!
