Poeple from Arch have gone further and have done what I supposed : change the widevine gyp file so the support is compiled with the chromium branding, but no success so far :
>From willmtemple on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-pepper- flash/ ""Alien's slackware package does not work. libwidevinecdm cannot be imported into current chromium or chromium-dev, as it requires the 'branding' gyp variable to be set to 'Chrome' during compile time. Setting that variable will cause the build to fail (because Google includes proprietary code and copyrighted images that we don't have in their Chrome branded builds). I took the gyp configurations and patched them such that the widevine cdm support would be built in to 'Chromium' branded builds and by issuing -Denable-pepper-cdms to the gyp configurator. I also had to fake a header file and move libwidevinecdm.so to another folder within the chromium source tree. It compiled, and the plugin will automatically load when it is within the plugin path (i.e. /usr/lib/chromium/) but it will still not work. Chromium dumps several javascript errors into terminal because the plugins are acting bad. I'll keep looking into it, but I don't think that there's a good way to get Widevine into the current stable or dev releases of chromium."" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371274 Title: Unable to use the widevine plugin with chromium To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1371274/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
