[Bug 1371274] Re: Unable to use the widevine plugin with Chromium
Thanks for the version clarification. I'll have to wait for an ARM build
of v44 for my needs (the beta channel only has x86 & i686 versions).
As for the ARM versions of widevine libraries, I've spun that out into a
question on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30732428
