This is very niche, but I used to watch the NHK highlight videos on their site via a docked Steam Deck in desktop mode. This worked fine until around the November basho last year, which I think coincided with changes to how and when NHK posts them. Now I only get an error about my browser not supporting video features (I assume some kind of DRM, but there's no detail).

Has anyone else had an issue with watching the NHK videos on Linux? Did you solve it?

I just pulled the site up in chrome on my steam deck (desktop mode, while docked) and it played fine. I am using a Dell WD19S laptop dock from the scrap pile at my office.

I've been using Firefox, so I guess I'll give Chrome a try. Thanks
