status of Widevine CDM on aarch64 #45

Closed graysky2 closed 2 years ago

Thanks for the addon. Is there any development status of Widevine CDM on aarch64? The error I got when trying this on RPi4 aarch64 seems like a dealbreaker:

<general>: [script.module.inputstreamhelper] Unsupported 64-bit userspace found. User needs 32-bit userspace on arm64

@graysky2 the DRM for this addon is handled by Inputstream.Adaptive. As far as I'm aware RPi4 is supported, albeit I only have older versions to test.

Doing some digging looks like there is no 64-bit version of Widevine for the arm64 architecture. You can see this issue referenced here: image Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit

Looks like there are some third party versions floating around you can try but they seem to have performance issues. The most straightforward way seems to be a 32-bit version of the RPi OS or a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit userland. On a side note, the lack of Widevine support will also affect other streaming services that require it such as Netflix.

Thanks again for the addon and for sharing your knowledge about this. I am on ArchARM, but both armv7h and aarch64 are offered. Not sure about aarch64 with armv7h (32-bit?) user-land. Will need to look into that. I will close this since you answered my question.
