Hi Anybody on the Ubuntu team work on this ?

I know this is a silly situation because this should be naturally
handled by the chromium team, but it seems like they don't really care
about chromium users , only the final result in the chrome build, which
I'm not really surprised.

What do you think , shall we maybe do that in Oxide so this might be
handled one day on Ubuntu Touch ?

The Patch is really simple, I'm just copying from the great work of
hogliux (hogliux) :


1) build with the following gyp flags:
ffmpeg_branding='Chrome', proprietary_codecs=1, enable_pepper_cdms=1, 
enable_webrtc=1

2) Uncomment the version number and strings in
src/third_party/widevine/cdm/widevine_cdm_common.h and change it to
which ever binary version you have available.

3) in the same folder modify widevine_cdm.gyp. Change 'branding ==
"Chrome"' to 'branding == "Chromium" in line 10 and 88 (not sure if this
is really necessary)

4) When compiling Chromium it will complain about a missing widevine
binaries folder (can't remember where it was meant to be located).
Create it and copy the binaries over from chrome. It will also complain
about missing widevine_cdm_version.h and/or widevine_cdm_common.h. Just
copy widevine_cdm_common.h you edited above to the location expected by
the build system.
