πŸ˜‚ Ah, #Google, in typical fashion, announces a #change with all the detail of a fortune cookie: "403 Forbidden." πŸŽ‰ I guess we're supposed to read between the non-existent lines and figure out that #Widevine is going the way of the dodo in April 2027. Good luck, streaming services! 🚫🌐

"… Maybe first runs of www/chromium are just a little fragile. …"

I made a messy screen recording that shows failure with a first run.

@andersgo www/chromium should also do Widevine, when two other packages are installed, however it's not working for me at the moment.

@trashheap does it work for you?

PS ignore the question, a second run of the chrome command succeeded.

This is HUGE! Once the #widevine gets supported in other systems, especially #openbsd they will become much more viably for daily desktop usage.

Another round with #widevine on linux #arm64, and there is still no support for protected content. Using binaries
from other sources fails with OpenGL errors. The "no-hardware-acceleration" configuration is not respected.

So, I need to go back to Windows which ships with working codecs even on arm64.

I think it's time to cancel Netflix etc. and switch to pirated stuff.
I mean, I'm willing to pay for media.
But Y-the-F are they making it impossible to watch it on the device of my choice? 🀬
