widevine lib
a curious video popped up in my youtube feed last night, and I'm wondering how it might affect us:
widevine for raspi-1 Two others popped up when I went looking on youtube: more opinion/editorial This guy is no nonsense so with the CastagnaIT Netflix (and the Disney+) add-on for kodi, it relies on InputStream Helper add-on. My question is this: if we install libwidevinecdm0 on the command line for xbian, will we break things or make it easier for Netflix/Disney+ kodi add-ons to work "better" or more efficiently or ??? is it already included in xbian installs? If this is better asked of Stefano on his github (castagnaIT dev), just say so. |

RE: widevine lib
I can't say anything about it. I just updated the things yesterday or the day before and can't see any problems
Disney+ I do not have to test, however, only Netflix |

I'm seeing a bunch of stuff about it... is the global backlog in processor production bringing about some interesting changes in code? Native widevine for Pi and wayland for distros seems like exciting progress... |

RE: widevine lib
Currently, the use of Wayland and/or X in connection with Kodi makes no sense at all, since the CPU is still too weak for this. In addition, the Kodi team focuses on GBM with such hardware.

Buster will follow of course Terminal root@kmxbilr2 /home/xbian/.kodi/cdm # grep -Eaom1 '([0-9]+\.){3}[0-9]+' libwidevinecdm.so 4.10.2252.0 root@kmxbilr2 /home/xbian/.kodi/cdm |

Google did update YT’s TOS recently…(I suspect that they intend to paywall or force “Premium” on users for popular or controversial content: the US election cycle IS about to restart, after all)
I think I’ve noticed something is happening on the CastagnaIT Netflix GitHub with regards to this as well…thanks for this (and everything you do), I will look into it. Do you have a timeframe for Bullseye to be used for xbian-current? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Here’s hoping they do, sooner than later: the update a few weeks ago that used it was the best xbian-kodi 19 on my Pi4 yet.
