i think recmodding drm middleware modules prior cooking should do the trick.Meaning it can be fixed with cab on any ROM

why don't u make ur own rom and cook it in? don't disrespect the cooks theres probably a useful reason as to why they don't.

Eric-its people like u that give forums a bad name!

I asked a simple question and dont need your useless comments.

If I could make my own ROM and include what I needed, I would not have asked the question

go back to your mom's basement!

Eric most of the cooked ROMs have DRM of one form or another, Middleware, Lockstream etc... you don't have to slam someone for the question. The problem is that it doesn't work on most and no one seems to have found what makes it work on the ROMs that it does. I don't believe there was any disrespect given or taken from those that are aware of the issue and been working on it.

Wow, you're pretty helpful. What is disrespectful about the first post? It's a simple question that did not single out any ROM. There's no useful reason for leaving it out. I do agree it is much better to make your own ROMs since any monkey can do it with the tools created by developers. There's nothing magic about making a ROM and everyone gets packages from the same leaked ROMs / SYS. The only difference between ROMs is what people leave in or take out and some skinning.

DiscretixDRM, DRM_Middleware, and LockstreamDRM are all packages in ROMs that seem likely to be required to play DRM content. There may be others, but I don't see the need for DRM content...so I have not experience with it (DiscretixDRM and LockstreamDRM may be the most important from what I've read in the past). You could cab install them if you can find cabs or ask a 'chef' to leave them in the ROM.

MWalt - Any idea where I can find some of these DRMs. I have tried a few of the standard ones like the shipped DRM, Lockstream, and Middleware but I am not familiar with DiscretixDRM. Any help greatly appreciated. Oh, I use DRM when I try to listen to audiobooks from the library in a program called Overdrive Media. I know there have been several instances of it being researched on the forums but I have yet to find an answer. The audio books don't work on other players except wmp but I still get an error when trying to play directly from wmp too. Again - any help greatly appreciated.
