The Android app's login form is probably hosted on some domain internal to Vidéotron's DNS, for some weird reason. Might or might not work on Kodi.

-FIXME //investigate how to get HDCP working// +HDCP looks a pain to get it working, but isn't much of a problem as most streaming services still let you watch a lower quality version of their content, except Illico+ who outright blocks you. It's usually 720p, but might definitely be worth trying to turn this on if you need better definition. For all I know, it should work on Firefox, but Chromium does not support it yet on Linux and is considered low priority, and kernel drivers are mostly available only for Intel and AMD cards.(([[https://superuser.com/a/1770330]]))

-I use tunnelbroker.net for IPv6 support and use a server in my country, however a lot of streaming sites will detect you're probably using a VPN, and most browsers do that they want and makes it about impossible to prioritize IPv4 traffic even though the Linux kernel can easily be configured for it (see ''/etc/gai.conf'').+I use tunnelbroker.net for IPv6 support and use a server in my country, however a lot of streaming sites will detect you're probably using a VPN, and most browsers do that they want and makes it about impossible to prioritize IPv4 traffic even though the Linux kernel can easily be configured for it (see ''/etc/gai.conf''), so I usually leave it off. There's not really any IPv6-only sites, anyway, and if there's any out there it's not out of necessity and it's mostly to test your IPv6 connectivity.
