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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to Chromium Browser. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371274 Title: Unable to use the widevine plugin with Chromium Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Chromium is unable to use the widevine component from google chrome : libwidevinecdmadapter.so and libwidevinecdm.so How to reproduce : - copy the 2 files the chrome archive in /usr/lib/chromium-browser - check chrome://components/ - Widevine does not appear it seems widevine support is only activated when branding=chrome as seen in https://github.com/scheib/chromium/blob/master/third_party/widevine/cdm/widevine_cdm.gyp Widevine support would enable EME playing such as Netflix ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: chromium-browser 37.0.2062.94-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~pkg1042 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62-generic 3.13.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Sep 18 21:11:17 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-02 (350 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Beta amd64 (20130925.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=fr_FR TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: chromium-browser SystemImageInfo: Error: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type: 'system-image-cli' UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-05-31 (109 days ago) modified.conffile..etc.default.chromium.browser: [deleted] mtime.conffile..etc.chromium.browser.default: 2014-06-01T14:14:23.245932 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1371274/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
