I recently switched from using Chrome to Firefox, but I couldn't watch Netflix on it because Widevine is not installed. The Add-ons page (about:addons) shows this message: Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. Will be installed shortly. For example, in Firefox or Mozilla, you should hold the Shift key when you click on the URL. More information on chromium-widevine72.0.3626.122-1deb9u1armhf.deb: Exact Size.

ATTENTION:
This package is no longer needed for Chromium, it can download the component itself. With Chromium 81, you can either use this or let it download the component, but when Chromium 83 is updated in the Arch repos, it will ignore this package all together.
I'll maintain this package for a while for the other systems that use it.

hey @Scimmia, I could take over and maintain this package if you are no longer interested or use it. Me and other people that use ungoogled-chromium still need this since ungoogled-chromium can't download this component. I also maintain ungoogled-chromium and I wouldn't mind maintaining this package as well.

Some sort of cp error currently prevents the build from working for me.
here is a diff that fixes it:
Perhaps this does not preserve the original intent of the command, but it works for me rather than failing with 'invalid argument'.

Hello,I am using ungoogled-chromium, but plugin didn't work for me. I have discovered it was lacking execute permissions on my system. After 'sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/chromium/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_x64/libwidevinecdm.so' the plugin loaded and worked fine. Thanks for maintaining the package!

Firefox Widevine Crash
I never said I would delete it, I just shouldn't be maintaining something long-term that I don't use.
AndyRTR, that would work if upstream didn't delete the packages when a new minor version was released.
AndyRTR commented on 2020-08-23 07:31
Please keep the package also for use with mellowplayer. No need to update at each minor chromium release. It should be sufficient to update only when the plugin gets a bump.

@Scimmia: please don't delete this package, it is the only way to have Widevine working in Opera browser. For extra details, see this bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67683

Tested today with lts kernel and Gnome desktop. Works good. Installed with a crappy AUR helper XDD
