[Bug 1371274] Re: Unable to use the widevine plugin with Chromium
Yes got it to work!!!!
Just use lib from https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chromeos/recovery/chromeos_7077.134.0_daisy-skate_recovery_stable-channel_skate-mp.bin.zip
I had to specify the chromeOS user agent with agent-switcher:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS armv7l 6946.63.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2357.130 Safari/537.36
Then eveything works perfectly !!!
