@Musikolo Thanks, it's working now :)

@Musikolo thx for the quick fix! Also thanks for the package btw :)

@rnbguy, first of all let me thank your suggestion.

The reason why we are pulling the whole google-chrome-stable binary is because it comes with a newer version of widevine plugin. As you can see at https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/versions.txt, the latest version available is 4.10.1582.2, which is behind the version 4.10.1610.0 currently available in the google-chrome-stable binary.

I hope this clarifies your concern.

Thank you!

I just looked through update-widevine script from vivaldi package. It seems, instead of downloading the whole google-chrome-stable package, you can just download the minimal component from https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/$WIDEVINE_VERSION-linux-$ARCH.zip e.g. https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/4.10.1582.2-linux-x64.zip.

The widevine versions are available at https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/versions.txt.

@dito_ch / @adabru, please try again. I added a checksum for EULA license by mistake.

Please let me know if the issue persists.

Thank you.

Same as dito_ch:

==> Validating source files with sha256sums... chrome-eula_text.html ... FAILED google-chrome-stable_80.0.3987.100-1_amd64.deb ... Passed get_cdm_version.c ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Thanks for this package by the way :)

I get an error updating the package. The checksum for eula_text.html seems to be wrong.

sha256sum in PKGBUILD: 1f654b0000981dace41771ca9719bf5731ff372cda0d2af111d2e6f9e25a049a

actual sha256sum of eula_text.html: e0c6a8e6e43fdd16bbb0ad21b68962d2442bf4d0c32d2091b604a4334455fcbc

Updated to version 4.10.1610.0.

Enjoy!

@serdarsaglam, that only holds true if you have Google Chrome installed. I just updated my pinned message for better clarify.

Thanks.
