First, sincere thanks to everybody who has contributed to this thread. I've been a lurker until now, but really appreciated the information that's been shared. Hopefully I can contribute something, but I have to start with a question...
Is there any further progress or ideas on getting Widevine working in Firefox (51.0.1 or 52 esr) under XP 32 bit?
I ask because a service (TVNZ OnDemand) I use here in New Zealand has migrated from PrimeTime to Widevine-exclusive. As a result, the service no longer works in Firefox. It works fine in Chrome 49, but I prefer to use Firefox if possible.
Using the information on pages 4 and 5 of this thread I was able to get the Widevine plugin to install. However I suspect there's some code that's preventing it from being used on XP. It won't kick in even though I've created the requisite forseSupported settings. Perhaps this is the blockage?

If it is, is there anybody that could build a patch with that condition removed... or perhaps there's a workaround that I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
