Flash Content Not Playing in FireFox or Chromium

[javasOK]

I can't get Flash to play from this URL: https://www.nbcsports.com/live

When I try with FireFox I get an error "Recent versions of Firefox do not support Adobe Flash with authenticated video streams. Please use an alternative browser."

When I try with Chromium I get no error messages but the display area remains black after the "Initializing" message and blue Flash spinner goes away. I've updated everything using the Update Manager so think I have the latest versions of everything.

Help appreciated

Via Terminal

apt-cache policy mint-meta-codecs

apt install mint-meta-codecs

PS. Enable DRM contents in Firefox.

Hi administrollaattori,

thanks for responding!

I tried running the apt scripts and got this:

javasok@saturn ~ $ apt-cache policy mint-meta-codecs
mint-meta-codecs:
Installed: 2017.06.25
Candidate: 2017.06.25

javasok@saturn ~ $ apt install mint-meta-codecs

mint-meta-codecs is already the newest version (2017.06.25).

I checked in FireFox Settings and confirmed the DRM checkbox is checked. I'm still getting the "Recent versions of Firefox do not support Adobe Flash with authenticated video streams. Please use an alternative browser." message. The NBC stream I'm trying to watch does require a login/subscription so it makes sense the stream is authenticated. Flash is working OK on the Adobe Flash Help page (https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html).

Not sure what else I can try?
