What about Firefox? It also needs widevine.

So this package could be just removed.

Chromium downloads ~/.config/chromium/WidevineCdm automatically. It it able to use the system for build process of this package instead of using tarball of google-chrome?

Could you please change this package to link to the chrome stable release url or at least to a more recent tagged version ? The 112.0.5615.49 is no more available and not supported by popular VOD platforms. 130.0.6723.69 is currently a working release.

Current version of widevine is 4.10.2830.0. Can be derived from google-chrome-stable_129.0.6668.70-1_amd64.deb. Just change '_chrome_ver' in the PKGBUILD:

_chrome_ver=129.0.6668.70

I will step up and adopt it since other ports such as qtwebflix needs it.

Upstream packaged an older version with the newer browser. They've done this before, then switched back to the newer version with next minor release, I was hoping that's what would happen here.

Any idea what's going on with the version for this package? Thanks

I think the epoch needs to be bumped because the last version went backwards 1:4.10.2652.0-1 -> 1:4.10.2557.0-1?

Rasberry Pi just started distributing libwidevinecdm for aarch64 here: https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/w/widevine/libwidevinecdm0_4.10.2252.0+1_arm64.deb Seems it's not quite as up to date as the x64 source in the package and doesn't seem to contain the main WidevineCdm binary that the x64 source do.
