Package: chromium-widevine Version: 71.0.3578.80-1~deb9u1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Netflix keeps saying: Your web browser is missing a digital rights component. Go to chrome://components and under WidevineCdm, click Check for update. I have installed the chromium-widevine package, together with the correct version of chromium, and still complains about the missing plugin. To solve it, I need to download a binary blob from Google: wget https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/1.4.8.1008-linux-x64.zip unzip 1.4.8.1008-linux-x64.zip sudo mkdir /usr/lib/chromium sudo mv libwidevinecdm.so /usr/lib/chromium sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/chromium/libwidevinecdm.so Looks like I'm not the only one having this problem: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/385880/using-the-chromium-widevine- debian-package Thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (750, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.20-grsec-botto+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages chromium-widevine depends on: ii chromium 71.0.3578.80-1~deb9u1 chromium-widevine recommends no packages. chromium-widevine suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
