Users Manual for MX-19

I'm starting this thread for my request for help as I go along. Questions, image requests, proofreading.

I just tried running Netflix in the current Opera-stable and it works fine--it's a Chrome derivative, so it should, just didn't realize it.

Do any (all?) of the Firefox derivatives run Netflix? Thanks.

I don't know about palemoon (I doubt it actually) but any firefox that can use the Widevine drm module should be able to.

Drm encryption by widevine, which I think Netflix and Amazon prime is using, is not supported by Pale Moon.
A good quick Big Buck Bunny check for drm-support e.g. here https://demo.castlabs.com/.
EDIT:
Reference "Pale Moon future roadmap" http://www.palemoon.org/roadmap.shtml

... we do not intend to have DRM in Pale Moon's core program, unlike other applications that build on UXP, and the browser will as such remain properly DRM-free.

I got a message that the md5/sha check methods in W7 and W8 no longer work in W10. I looked around the web, and that appears to be true.

Can someone please check to see if this app works in W10:

https://download.cnet.com/MD5-SHA-Check ... 11445.html

If not, then I am on the hunt. Not just a question for the Manual, but also for our directions on the website.

TIA

I'll go and take a looksee.. be back in a bit to report.

Confirmed working. Does install .Net Framework 3.5 (which includes 2.0 and 3.0)

As in: it will install that first and then you can run the installer again.

On Windows 10 you would just do it this way:
Open PowerShell within the folder of the downloaded ISO
and type:

Code: Select all

Get-FileHash .\MX-19beta-1_x64.iso -Algorithm MD5

to see the calculated MD5SUM

Code: Select all

Algorithm       Hash                                                                   Path
---------       ----                                                                   ----
MD5             E4E63DAC86674A47053152A396216B70                                       C:\ISO\MX-19beta-1_x64.iso

or type:

Code: Select all

Get-FileHash .\MX-19beta-1_x64.iso -Algorithm sha256

or just

Code: Select all

Get-FileHash .\MX-19beta-1_x64.iso

to get SHA256SUM

Code: Select all

Algorithm       Hash                                                                   Path
---------       ----                                                                   ----
SHA256          5D957194310F094299610881D6FD7DD5ABCF0FF86304EA4ED44110D564DD065F       C:\ISO\MX-19beta-1_x64.iso

So would not recommend any 3rd party tools just to verify the checksum on Win10.

EDIT:
And perhaps to "cat" the downloaded md5/sha256-sum files do this:

Code: Select all

Get-Content .\MX-19beta-1_x64.iso.md5
e4e63dac86674a47053152a396216b70  MX-19beta-1_x64.iso

Get-Content .\MX-19beta-1_x64.iso.sha256
5d957194310f094299610881d6fd7dd5abcf0ff86304ea4ed44110d564dd065f  MX-19beta-1_x64.iso

When you tell me to do that I will go: where is this powershell program?


I wager many Windows users with me
