@gwuensch appreciate you looking into it, I think we came across it at the same time

Widevine is still packaged as a Chrome Extension directly by Google: oimompecagnajdejgnnjijobebaeigek_4.10.2891.0_linux_b4hin3q5s66ws2322cyyfp35lu.crx3
Current URLs and checksums are tracked in the Firefox git repository (they use this to install Widevine as a Gecko Media Plugin).
The CRX file is just a ZIP with an additional header, so
bsdtarwill happily extract it.Edit: Seems like we had the same idea, lol :D

I've found another widevine only source to avoid the chrome download

google deleted the current release download link, have had to revert to pulling it from a download of chrome browser again

@envolution, not sure if you saw my response to your post at the vivaldi-widevine AUR package. Regards!

Two install -d in package() in PKGBUILD could be dropped.

Thankyou

for anyone interested, I managed to source the plugin a bit more directly so this no longer requires a full browser download.
