Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2019 10:11 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Chromium 71 and widevine. Netflix not working. |
|
|
Hi all,
I'm not able to watch Netflix (actually, any protected content) with chromium and chrome-binary-plugins. At least, since version 69.
Widevine use flag is enabled for both packages but the component does not appear at chrome://components/
Some useful (I hope) information:
Versions:
Code: |
Sat Dec 8 12:38:10 2018 >>> www-client/chromium-71.0.3578.80
merge time: 1 hour, 39 minutes and 49 seconds.
Thu Dec 13 09:32:52 2018 >>> www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins-71.0.3578.98
merge time: 14 seconds.
|
USE Flags:
Code: |
root@desktop : /usr/lib64/chromium
$ equery uses chromium
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]

NOTE: While writting this post I noticed that both versions differs. There is a chromium version which match the binary-plugins one, but in both cases I'm using stable channel. Could be that the problem?

Well, I cannot really solve your problem, but ...
- neither do I see widevine under chrome://components/
- I even had major version mismatches of chromium and its binary plugins; video streams still played fine
I have to disable uMatrix extension for video streaming sites. It just shows a gray page instead of the netflix title(video). You got such a blocker extension?
Would you mind to elaborate a bit what is happening on your end? _________________ hear hear |

I use uBlock but I did it before, when play video worked on previous versions of chromium. I can login and navigate on Netflix, but I can't reproduce any video. The errors says "Missing component" and the error code M7701-1003. I'll try to build the same versions of both packages later and check again. I'll back to tell you the result.

Unlucky. It is not a "version conflict". _________________ Nobody fucks with The Jesus |

I can confirm that with =www-client/chromium-71.0.3578.80 installed, I am unable to view Netflix content. The widevinecdm plugin does not even get listed in chrome://components
Furthermore, reverting to the previous version of chromium, there are no problems with Netflix content
I have masked any later version of Chromium until upstream care to fix it. Upstream have broken it before. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1080874-start-0.html
Code: |
echo ">=www-client/chromium-71.0.3578.80" >> /etc/portage/package.mask/chromium
echo ">=www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins-71.0.3578.98" >> /etc/portage/package.mask/chromium
emerge -1av =www-client/chromium-70.0.3538.110
|
Anyhow, I have a working setup with the following installed
johnh@imac ~ $ eix -c chromium
[?] www-client/chromium (70.0.3538.110@12/14/18 -> ??): Open-source version of Google Chrome web browser
johnh@imac ~ $ eix -c chrome-binary-plugin
[?] www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins (71.0.3578.80(stable)@12/13/18 -> ??): Binary plugins from Google Chrome for use in Chromium |
