This adds support for a vendor-supported Widevine library.

• Get timestamp from library to show in info pane
• Disable settings/operations

This is PR #240 reworked and fixes #229

The information pane will look like this:

Kodi information

• Kodi version: 18.6
• Kodi platform/architecture: Linux/arm

InputStream information

• InputStream Helper version: 0.4.5
• InputStream Adaptive version: 2.4.4

Widevine information

• Widevine version: 4.10.1440.18 (supplied by vendor)

Please report issues to:

@samnazarko Is there any progress from your side on this? Have you tested this implementation?

I’ll check this shortly Sam On 14 Apr 2020, at 17:24, Dag Wieers <notifications@github.com> wrote:  @samnazarko<https://github.com/samnazarko> Is there any progress from your side on this?

It's not clear to me where my libwidevinecdm_vendor.so should go. I can only see references to it in the unit tests and couldn't see any other code that references it elsewhere.

I overwrote libwidevinecdm.so instead -- version info looked sane, but haven't been able to test other functionality yet.

Cheers,

Sam

@samnazarko AFAIK It is in the same location as where it currently lives, but with a vendor-label added. On a Linux system it would be in ~/.kodi/cdm/

Also see: #229 (comment)

[samnazarko]

OK, I'll give this a test tomorrow.

Thanks Dag

Hi Dag - just to let you know, this isn't forgotten. I'm currently having to port over Widevine15 changes which is proving tricky.

[dagwieers]

@samnazarko We have started working on the upcoming v0.5.0 release which greatly improves extracting the Widevine CDM for ARM devices. It would be nice if this could ship with v0.5.0.

[samnazarko]

We have made some progress on porting Widevine 15 and passing user acceptance testing. I should be able to check this again next week.

Hi @dagwieers -- sorry for the late reply and to keep you waiting.

I think you can get this merged. The new Widevine changes mean that we may not be able to use InputStream directly, but it can at least display the correct information about the present Widevine library.

[dagwieers]

@samnazarko Thanks for the feedback.

@mediaminister @horstle Is there something we want to add to this?

[mediaminister]

No, I would like to know how this can be tested.

[horstle]

The install/remove options from the settings page might create issues?

[dagwieers]

All good points. Since this PR is again obsoleted by recent changes I am going to close it.
Feel free to pursue this if you have a need for this.

[horstle]

I'll have a look at it in the next few days, but it almost certainly won't be ready for v0.5.0, which imo should be released this weekend, even if some translations might still be missing.
