[Bug 1371274] Re: Unable to use the widevine plugin with Chromium
Hi jeroen,
yes I saw that few days ago with 43.0.2357.45 ? I'm investigating.
I confirmes it worked like a charm on beta PPA just before.
You confirm that widevine does not even show in your plugins list ?

Title:
Unable to use the widevine plugin with Chromium
Status in Chromium Browser:
Unknown
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
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
