Firefox plays Netflix just fine for me with 1080p as well as Prime and Hulu. CBS No-Access, OTHO, requires me to disable 3/4ths of my plugins to work.

When I try to start a video, I get a Netflix error code. When I google it, it says to add the "allow content DRM" in th eoption, which is obviously already selected... So no solution instead of Chrome.

You using HDMI or something else? My 580's using HDMI to a 1080p TV; my old 260x worked with HDMI for the past six years up until February. I don't have any other monitor or cables to test otherwise.

Maybe try with fresh Firefox profile. After enable DRM support in Firefox options you need to wait minute or two for installation - it is not working instantly (unfortunately no progress bar or something). After successful installation - it will be visible in about:addons -> Plugins tab as Widevine Content Decryption Module in "Enable" state.

So, the best way to play DRMed content on Linux is to… download it illegally!
That is just stupid. "Content protection", what protection? Those contents are all around the web! Free and with no DRM!
DRM do not stop illegal diffusion, they just stop people from playing it legally on non-proprietary systems!

All this shit makes be glad I banned paid content from all my devices well over a decade ago. My box is deliberately set up so you not only can't play Netflix (but a pirated H264 file would work perfectly) but so you cannot access Facebook or Google. That is so their trackers cannot access me. Netflix probably tracks everything you do just like "smart" TV's do. Only sane way to use one of those "smart" TVs is to opt out of everything at setup, then use it only with over-the-air broadcast and a computer to feed any online content to it, denying it any access to the network itself-in other words, to use it as an RF tuner and dumb monitor only.
Why would anyone pay for DRM'd content when the exact same content is available free in defiance of laws made by and for the rich, pre-stripped of DRM and ready to go? The filesharing lawsuits were abandoned after tens of millions responded by ending their purchases of DVD's and CD's, and law enforcement ignores it entirely. European ISP restrictions are about to choke out on DNS over HTTPS, and Tor exit nodes groan under the weight of massive movie filesharing. No, it's not 4K (downloading that over Tor might take a fucking month) but its free with no DRM.
I don't published my (free and not ad supported) news videos in 1080p much less 4K because many viewers don't have the bandwidth for it.

Doesn't AMD have better stuff to work on besided DRM crap?
There are still 1000 things to improve on Linux, where the fuck is that control panel that never comes ?
I don't like this "let's help the greedy companies to get more rich".
And I don't like at all that I need to pay myself extra energy costs for wasted processing cycles on DRM encryption / decription stuff.
Greed is a disease and will make everything rot.
