[SOLVED] Can't watch videos on Amazon - sound works fine but no video (lemmy.cafe)

I remember watching films on Amazon Prime used to work just fine but it's been a few months since I watched anything and now, for some reason, it doesn't work anymore.

I hear the sound but there's no video - just black.

I tried Firefox, Opera and Librewolf - same Problem, so I wanted to ask here if the problem could be OS-related.

From the research I've done I found that apparently it could be something to do with hdcp copy protection, but I didn't get any error message in that regard.

Does anyone have an idea how this problem can be fixed?

In firefox you might need to enable playing drm protected content in the settings for that.

I just checked - it was already enabled. Interesting that it doesn't work on Firefox, Opera and Librewolf but does work on Vivaldi.
