On XP, Bitmovin doesn't detect Primetime, even though it's installed and usable for non-DRM content.

Since I started testing XP browsers early this year, Primetime hasn't been usable for playing DRM media in any browser; only Widevine. I figured it was probably because sites are simply no longer accepting Primetime and are demanding Widevine instead, but I never really looked into it.
Primetime is still useful in XP but for playing HTML5/H.264 media, but not DRM media.

The second one (https://demo.castlabs.com/) was fine.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you need to click on one of the Encrypted videos to test DRM.

Can I kindly ask you people to wait for 7 days? Something worth XP user's eyes will pass bye.

You are a hero of the XP community Dibya. You've been making things possible that were widely believed to be impossible by Windows users, and you've fearlessly disregarded the frothing droves of mindless FUD propagators who'd like to burn XP and its users at the stake.
Don't let the gripers & nitpickers get to you. There are many people who are amazed by, and greatly appreciative of, the boundaries you've been breaking, the tools & information you've been sharing and your statements & reasoning in support of XP. You are one of the key people successfully countering the organized effort to kill XP. Thank you for all you've done thus far!

It still works on in Google Chrome and Netflix.

Thanks for the reply sdfox7. Could you please test yours using the links in my OP, because Google Chrome is one of the chromium-based browsers I was referring to in my OP.
This is all very recent (within the past 3 months - maybe even the past month).
DRM media suddenly stopped playing in all of the chromium-based browsers I have on my XP machine, even though Widevine is properly installed and detected by websites.

[Does anyone still have Widevine working in XP?]

At some point in the last few months, a change was made that caused Widevine to lose its ability to play DRM media in XP.

Prior to this change I had at least six different chromium-based browsers that were playing DRM media just fine in XP via the Widevine plugin.

All of those browsers are now unable to play DRM media via Widevine.

You can test your browser here: https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm or here: https://demo.castlabs.com/

I think the change that was made might be the one which was mentioned here on  2018-09-05:

 There's still an issue in Basilisk with distorted audio in Twitter videos.

And the issue is now present in New Moon as well (it wasn't present back when were using the LAV codecs for playing media in New Moon but it is now).
The issue is present on three completely different computers of mine so it's not simply an isolated computer problem.
This isn't a complaint or a request for help (I don't even use Twitter). I'm just reporting a bug.
Here's a video in which the audio is distorted:  https://twitter.com/josefkenny/status/974587426676117505
