Please make sure to run the registering scripts register_widevine_firefox and/or register_widevine_chromium for every user that needs to be able to use widevine.This script only needs to be run once; no need to repeat it after upgrade.

@Irontobind: I got the same 'Not available to watch instantly' on Netflix and all I needed to do was a refresh and it started working. Just thought I'd add my experience to share for others too. Can't trust these Agile developed apps anymore. Have to use brute force.

For those interested, I created a small script for Netflix, which allows to check versions for Widevine and set the user agent. It works also for Prime Video ;-)I don't know why but since a moment, I have to run register_widevine_chromium each time so it's now integrated in the script directly.

/usr/local/bin/chromium-netflix

@Irontobind: Well, that problem has nothing to do with this package. It's the netflix website being pedantic. Netflix is actually checking your user agent. If you're running an arm browser and the user agent is not chromeos, then it will not grant access... Changing your browser's user agent to chromeos will fix it.

PS: This was already mentioned a few comments down.

Irontobind commented on 2021-04-09 02:02

This package got rid of the 'something went wrong' error thanks! I am however getting now 'Not available to watch instantly' on Netflix. Is this something I can fix in the install or something else entirely?

mogwai commented on 2021-03-19 15:04

This package has been updated to extract the widevine library from the official raspberrypios deb-package. No need to download a huge chromeos image file anymore!

@dobo: Thanks for the link to the package!After reading that news yesterday, I spent more than an hour trying to find that package on the raspbian mirrors. I gave up, but apparently that was too soon, or I was looking at the wrong mirror. :-)I'll definitely update this AUR package soon.

dobo commented on 2021-03-19 12:44

A suggestion:Raspbian now contains widevine in their official repositories 1. We can grab the binaries from widevine_4.10.1679.0.orig.tar.xz 2. Maybe you should consider switching to that source instead of unpacking the ChromeOS rootfs.

mogwai commented on 2021-02-19 07:49

It seems that the chromium widevine patch has been accepted upstream!
The package is currently still being built. It should land in chromium version 88.0.4324.182-1.1.

Edit: I've just tested the official armv7h package, and I can confirm that widevine (as installed through this package) now works!

Oh damn, god damn, god damn damn damn, thank you so much this worked immediatly !! :D

Widevine Brave Browser Android

I work on this since loooot of hours.... tried so many things. Thank you again.

Hum, do you have a link or what to patch Chromium ? I'm interested into it :)

After 4 months of waiting, that is the response I got from Widevine, Google’s DRM for web browsers, regarding a license agreement. For the last 2 years I’ve been working on a web browser that now cannot be completed because Google, the creators of the open source browser Chrome, won’t allow DRM in an open source project.

The browser I’m building, called Metastream, is an Electron-based (Chromium derived), MIT-licensed browser hosted on GitHub. Its main feature is the ability to playback videos on the web, synchronized with other peers. Each client runs its own instance of the Metastream browser and transmits playback information to keep them in sync—no audio or video content is sent.

If someone is creating a browser that wants to playback media, they’ll soon discover the requirement of DRM for larger web media services such as Netflix and Hulu. There are a few DRM providers for the web including Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay.

As far as I’m aware, Widevine is the only available DRM for a Chromium-based browser, especially so for Electron. Chromium accounts for roughly 70% market share of all web browsers, soon to include Microsoft’s upcoming Edge browser rewrite. Waiting 4 months for a minimal response from a vendor with such a large percentage of the market is unacceptable.

This isn’t something I’m alone in either, several Electron users have waited months for a response. More prominently, the creators of Brave Browser also had issues waiting for replies from Google Widevine.

“This is a prime example for why free as in beer is not enough. Small share browsers are at the mercy of Google, and Google is stalling us for no communicated-to-us reason.”
- Brian Bondy, Co-founder & CTO of Brave

Widevine Drm Remove

I’m now only left with two options regarding the fate of Metastream: stop development of a desktop browser version, or pivot my project to a browser extension with reduced features. The latter requiring publishing to the Google Chrome Web Store which would further entrench the project into a Google walled garden.

If you know of any way to help out, please get in touch.

Widevine Bravecto

April 4th edit: No response from Google Widevine yet. Because a few folks asked, here is the full email exchange I had with Widevine. The initial response was received after getting in contact with another browser vendor to ping a Widevine contact they have. If you intend to inquire about a license agreement for your project, including the information they requested upfront could help.
