Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36 Example URL: Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Place Widevine libraries from Chrome OS into Chromium browser folder in usr/lib/chromium-browser. 2. Log into Netflix and try to play a movie. 3. Error from Netflix. What is the expected behavior? Previous version was Chromium 56. Upgrade removed this functionality. What went wrong? DRM media would play previously in Chromium 56 on Raspberry Pi using Raspbian Stretch 9 and including Widevine libraries. Did this work before? Yes Chromium 56 Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? N/A Does this work in other browsers? Yes Chrome version: 65.0 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: Contents of chrome://gpu: I know plugins have been removed. Chromium 56 was using a pseudo plugin to refer to the Widevine libraries. Now in 65, there are no plugins, no settings to play DRM, and no ability to add a Widevine component to view DRM content. I am on the latest release of Raspbian and the kernel has been updated to the latest. Not the best at Linux but these items may give some insight. I know that DRM is not officially supported at the moment for a Raspberry Pi Chromium but there was a work around before that has been removed. Thank you for your time. Vivaldi browser also does not work now. I used their instructions to allow DRM content and it failed: https://help.vivaldi.com/article/netflix-on-linux/ https://help.vivaldi.com/article/netflix-on-linux/

Copying CDM to some chromium based browser is not officially supported. So sorry we can't really do anything here. |
