[SOLVED] Issues installing Widevine CDM

[funiki]

(15th Apr, 2022 11:19 PM)Dimension Wrote:  I just did a fresh install on my RPI4 with the latest version of Xbian and after installing the Crackle addon from the Kodi repository when I attempt to watch anything it states that I need to install Widevine CDM. I accept all the prompts for the install to go forward but the install fails. The last message displayed on the screen is that it is search for the install file.
I am hoping that someone on here has had this issue and that it is an easy fix.

Here is the log file: https://pastebin.com/EByysNcy

Here is a quick snip it of the error I am seeing in the log:
