https://www.virginmediatv.ie/ (you will not be able to attempt streaming without an account) works fine on Windows 10 with Chrome (80.0.3987.149 (Official build) (64 bit)) but I have not been able to get it working on Ubuntu 18.04 (exact same version of Chrome). Same issue with Firefox, Chromium, and Vivaldi. I am unsure if they are using Flash or some other software, as I do not see the usual option menu you when I right click video playing.

I have also tried user agent switcher addons in Firefox, Chrome and Vivaldi. When using the addons I set Windows Chrome and Windows Firefox in each, Windows Chromium, and also Edge.

To help identify what they are using, on Windows, I right clicked a playing stream and viewed source:

I have been using a VM but it can be slow and is a very bloated workaround, is there anything I can try to get this working on a linux browser?
