ATTENTION:

This package is no longer needed for Chromium, it can download the component itself. With Chromium 81, you can either use this or let it download the component, but when Chromium 83 is updated in the Arch repos, it will ignore this package all together.

I'll maintain this package for a while for the other systems that use it.

This package can't be installed, the chrome eula didn't pass validation.

We've tried the direct download before, it ended up very, very rarely being updated.

May I suggest to use the following link to download widevine only instead of the full Chrome package: https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/4.10.1196.0-linux-x64.zip

The 4.10.1196.0 should be updated to use the latest version available though.

This trick was taken from a script used by Vivaldi. See: https://gist.github.com/ruario/3c873d43eb20553d5014bd4d29fe37f1

Deps can't be runtime-only now that we're dlopening the lib. Should be fixed now.

Won't build in chroot.

requires makedepends=('nss')

@blonade24, according to Vivaldi changelog, it shouldn't be needed anymore. However, after removing vivaldi-widevine package, I cannot reproduce DRM videos anymore. I tried using this link (https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm) and Netflix. None worked for me without this package. As soon as I installed it back, everything worked again. So, I'll try in the future again, and as soon as I'm able to make it work without out this package, I'll let everyone know and disown it.

Thank you!

Is this needed for any purpose after Vivaldi 2.2 ships widevine with it?

Possibly an overkill but works nicely: https://paste.xinu.at/WnH/

They've changed the version information in the plugin included in chrome 71. Not sure how I'm going to deal with it yet, just searching for the numerical pattern doesn't seem like a good idea. For now, I've flagged it out of date while I figure out how to handle it.
