Browser: Firefox 148 on Linux
Description:
The Alternate Player shows the message:
“This broadcast is encrypted. The extension does not support encrypted broadcasts.”
The stream plays normally in the official Twitch player.
This only occurs with one specific streamer; other streams work normally in the extension.
During testing, network capture showed the HLS playlist loading successfully from Twitch’s playlist CDN, with normal refresh intervals and segment delivery. This suggests the manifest is being served correctly and the issue may be related to an encrypted or DRM-enabled stream variant that the extension does not currently support.
If needed, I can provide HAR logs or additional network details.
