I'm not exactly sure what we need to do here. I don't think turning on widevine is enough for Netflix, it probably depends on codecs we can't include in Fedora. Chromium is tricky with how it whitelists codec support, if we build widevinecdm, it might not think it can do h264 (for example). It might make more sense for a 3rd party repo to build and provide widevine with full codec support enabled in the Chromium tree. Hi, We no need include codecs here; Third party chromium's exist, because in the time. It was not approved in official repositories, but now is a reality. Various third-party as COPR users was deleted your versions because now is official. I don't have a powerful machine for examine each part of this .spec and rebuild (12 hours is the death for me); but I think it need a patch; if "pepper" works fine putting the necesary (yes pepper works fine in the official chromium), then widevine can works in the same way. We don't need include incompatible closed dependencies with Fedora. In the changelog Jul 21 2016 "- try to enable widevine compatibility (you still need to get the binary .so files from chrome)" https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/chromium.git/tree/chromium.spec. But third-party solved it. It is the .spec from unitedrpms (https://github.com/UnitedRPMs/chromium/blob/master/chromium.spec). I can help to test all changes; from other third-party project ;). I completely forgot, I think so the bug is related to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=473866 I think we're talking past each other here. I've already included the patch to build widevine from source, but in my testing, the resulting .so files do not result in Netflix working. I suspect it is due to the missing media codecs, because that is the remaining key difference between the Fedora chromium package and the 3rd party ones (UnitedRPMS, RussianFedora, etc). I'm going to do more local testing to try to figure it out. Maybe the patch (https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/chromium.git/tree/chromium-52.0.2743.82-widevinefix.patch) affected the support for widevine :/ Please test it: ### build with widevine support # Patch from crbug (chromium bugtracker) # fix the missing define (if not, fail build) (need upstream fix) (https://crbug.com/473866) sed '14i#define WIDEVINE_CDM_VERSION_STRING "Something fresh"' -i "third_party/widevine/cdm/stub/widevine_cdm_version.h" # Hard code extra version FILE=chrome/common/channel_info_posix.cc sed -i.orig -e 's/getenv("CHROME_VERSION_EXTRA")/"UnitedRPMs Project"/' $FILE cmp $FILE $FILE.orig && exit 1 Okay. More testing. It looks like the libwidevinecdm.so file that Chromium generates is just an empty shim. When I replace it with the Chrome libwidevinecdm.so file, DRM streams (including Netflix) starts working. This makes sense, because UnitedRPMS is offering a "chromium-widevinecdm-plugin" package, that includes copies of those files (presumably taken from Google Chrome). I think the best course of action for Fedora will be to build (and thus, enable Chromium for) widevinecdm, but not to actually include libwidevine*.so* in the package. Then third party repos can offer "chromium-widevinecdm-plugin" and users can install that and get working Netflix/DRM streams. **** Thoughts? Is a great idea, as I said above, similar to pepper (https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/10217/sticky-how-do-i-install-adobe-flash-on-fedora/). When the people put the necessary '.so' in the correct path the capability is effective. If it is a reality, third-party chromium isn't necessary anymore. :) chromium-52.0.2743.116-9.el7 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 7. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-19c0d6b4b2 chromium-52.0.2743.116-9.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-3431daeaf0 chromium-52.0.2743.116-9.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-6a35f3eeea chromium-52.0.2743.116-9.fc25 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 25. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-95d9b62ed3 chromium-52.0.2743.116-9.fc25 has been pushed to the Fedora 25 testing repository.

Description of problem: I usually use other rpm of Chromium (Russian Fedora) or UnitedRpms, with the capability if Anyone put libwidevinecdm.so and libwidevinecdmadapter.so in the correctly path, play happy Netflix. However this does not work in this version. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 52.0.2743.82-9 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open url Netflix with Chromium and the necessary in the next path %{_libdir}/chromium/libwidevinecdm.so; %{_libdir}/chromium/libwidevinecdmadapter.so) Actual results: Display a code error M7355-1204 Expected results: Play correctly Netflix with Chromium, similar to version (https://github.com/RussianFedora/chromium/blob/stable/chromium.spec)... Additional info: Maybe the .spec can help us.
