Important: You'll need about +2GB of free space on the microSD to download the recovery image of ChromeOS. It moves the manifest.json inside the folder /opt/WidevineCdm, and finally inside /opt/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_arm, it moves the libwidevinecdm.so file. Update 20201115: Then, it creates two folders $/.config/chromium-browser/WidevineCdm, it writes a file latest-component-updated-widevine-cdm with the location of the library. This folder is where the menu access is located. It also creates and moves the sktop file to the /usr/share/applications folder. Then, it copies the library Widevine under /usr/lib/chromium-browser/. The script needs sudo because it mounts the ChromeOS recovery image as a disk to extract the required files. Change the file type to executable, typing:.usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser -version To add DRM support to Chromium on Raspberry OS, follow these steps:ĭownload the script on the Raspberry Pi (you could use SSH): # Raspberry Pi OS (32bits) / Raspbian You can check here for the last version of the browsers, and modify the script.

Therefore, I forked and modified it for Chromium. You won't need the Flash library, but it is also available. That sounds quite complex, right? But, it isn't at all! To do that, I found this script widevine-flash_armhf.sh, that fetches the lastest official recovery image of ChromeOS for ARM, mounts it as a disk, and extracts the Widevine and Flash libraries, saving them in a compressed archive. Therefore, the solution is to extract the library Widevine ( libwidevinecdm.so) from ChromeOS and add it to Raspberry Pi OS. If you want to update your OS, just type the following (after you've saved your important data) To know which version of Chromium you are using, just type /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser -version in a Terminal. Earlier browser versions should use an old version of the gist file. Update 2020.11.15: I've just updated the solution and now it is working with Chromium >=.141.
