Title:
  Unable to use the widevine plugin with chromium

Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Chromium is unable to use the widevine component from google chrome :
  libwidevinecdmadapter.so and libwidevinecdm.so

  How to reproduce :

  - copy the 2 files the chrome archive in /usr/lib/chromium-browser
  - check chrome://components/
  - Widevine does not appear

  it seems widevine support is only activated when branding=chrome

  as seen in

  
  https://github.com/scheib/chromium/blob/master/third_party/widevine/cdm/widevine_cdm.gyp

  Widevine support would enable EME playing such as Netflix
