So against my better judgement I briefly installed Chrome (and then Chrome-Beta, and then Chrome-Testing) thinking that surely their much vaunted built-in Flash would be able to handle it: not a chance. I apt-get purged them straight off my system after that disappointment. I actually ended up having to watch them in a VirtualBox XP instance, in full screen, running Internet Explorer. Bizarrely, it actually works well enough to watch DRM-laden streams.
