[Bug 1371274] Re: Unable to use the widevine plugin with Chromium
@Ekimia that's awesome news.
Do you have a plan to distribute the package for the RaspberryPi 2
(armhf)? Once that's supported, it's the last piece in being able to
setup a home theatre with OSMC/Kodi/XBMC that has native Netflix support
:D
