Just tried this and I'm getting error code M7701-1003, make sure "Sites 
can play protected content" is selected in chrome settings.  I did that 
(it was enabled by default, but I disabled and re-enabled it for good 
measure).

GhostBSD has this enabled by default in their chromium package, but I 
get the same error there.
