Widevine xiaomi.eu ROM update causing other video playback issues - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

I was running the Poco F1 MIUI 10.3 by xiaomi.eu 9.1.24 ROM. All my video streaming apps (Amazon Prime, Netflix, Stan) and sport subscription apps (Optus Sport, Foxtel) worked perfectly. Since updating to the Widevine updated ROM (in late February), my sport subscription apps don't work. I either get no picture, or playback error messages. The video streaming apps continue to work fine. I have tried 4 different Widevine updated xiaomi.eu ROMS, including the latest release MIUI 10.4 by xiaomi.eu 9.4.18 ROM & none work with my sport subscription apps. I have now reverted back to the xiaomi.eu 9.1.24 ROM and all my video apps (Amazon Prime, Netflix, Stan, Optus Sport, Foxtel) work well. The problem with that is that I am stuck on a 3 month old ROM and cannot update.
It may be difficult to replicate this issue for most of you (as Optus Sport & Foxtel apps are Australian) but does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

If you have rooted the phone, try flashing the liboemcrypto disabler module from.magisk on lastest eu rom

No root on the device. Both EU miui roms, just the widevine enabled ones don't work on those apps. May need to consider RR.

BBC News app

Has anyone gotten the current Market BBC News app to play videos? I'm running CM 10.2.1 and have both Flash and MX Player installed but if I select a video that accompanies a news story I get some kind of player with a "loading" circle on the screen--forever.
For a lark I thought to try an old version of the app that I use on my NST (although there is no sound on the NST....) and that version (1.3.4) brings up the MX Player and everything works fine, although I do think the still image resolution is not as good as on the current Market app.
Any solutions (other than continue to use the old version)?
Just in case someone comes across this thread later, I can confirm that version 2.5.3 WW (BBC Mobile News WW) works great on the NT running CM 10.2, videos included
Newer versions after July - No Video on CM
On my Verizon S3, the BBC News app version 3.4.0.43 GNL does not show videos on CM12.1 (nightly 10/30/15) nor has it worked since version 2.5.5 WW. After that, they dramatically changed the app with new features and display capacities. Video has never worked since.
HOWEVER, it works on another ROM, AICP, which has some CM in it, though I don't know what else it's blended with. I wish I could distinguish the issue here because the newer ones are way more interesting than the older version , one of which I have saved via TiBu and restore when I get sick of not being able to watch videos.
It' just occured to me to take a logcat when I try next time.
EDIT: well, I didn't realize I was on a nook thread, but the issue might be the same.

Yeah, I actually prefer the older version. Just don't like a lot of options to wade through and not being able to get rid of stuff I don't want to see. I just recently got an LG Optimus Zone 2 to replace my much-loved Insignia Pilot MP3 player that finally died. I let the BBC app update from the market and it worked fine (running KitKat) but I didn't like it as I said, so I replaced it with the older version, which also works just fine.

Chromecast

Anyone else having trouble connecting this phone to Chromecast 2? I have no trouble connecting my Redmi 3 pro but my wife's RN2 just connects and the immediately disconnects.
Hi, i don't have problem to connect to chromecast. I use with Netflix, Plex, Youtube & Tunein Radio.
I also don't have any problems using chromecast (mainly youtube) with my redmi note 2 (prime edition). Maybe the problem is ROM related. Or you could try to clear cache/dalvik cache - maybe a little bit buggy
He means screen mirrorring problems, not app related casting, like youtube etc. Screen mirrorring is not working with chromecast 2 on latest stable roms, not even on the latest developer roms. Previous stable roms, there weren't any problems. I started a bug thread on the official miui forum. In xiaomi.eu they can confirm this bug as well, I have it too.

Question Netflix Widevine not working

Hi guys,
After I updated to MIUI 13 I noticed that now my phone supports Dolby Vision.
But today when I went to play Netflix, Widevine support vanished.
I've tried reinstalling Netflix and factory resetting my phone.
The app DRM Info detects Widevine L1 but Netflix insists that's Widevine L3.
I've also called Netflix support and they told me there's nothing they can do.
Does anybody know how can I fix this ?
My phone is still running stock, non rooted and locked bootloader.
Thanks for any help
Yes, you're right, but netflix hdr movies were almost unwatchable before. But the question is, if now is only L3, does this mean the streams are not really in Dolby Vision format? Or only the resolution is lower? I suppose Netflix correctly expose the type of stream they are sending to the device (and now indeed they specify Dolby Vision) unlike HBO max for example.
I guess it's still L1 because of DRM Info.
But if I stream something on Netflix it'll look like crap because of the low resolution (SD).
Netflix is playing using L3.
Using Netflix on this phone is hell. If not black crush in crappy looking HDR content, then resolution issues... Just why? Same issue on MIUI 13 stable beta.
Also Dark Mode for individual apps disappeared.
