Widevine on x86 LIbreelec Kodi 19.4 cant install

[Biomecanoid]

Hello,

I have 2 Libreelec x86 boxes at home. Today I realized that on one of my boxes Widevine got messed up and won't even re-install.

I have tried to read all threads related to Widevine but I could not find a remedy to my problem.

It seems that Libreelec is looking for Widevine in the wrong path /usr/lib/kodi/addons instead of /storage/.kodi/cmd

Is it possible you restored a kodi backup from an Android device? I just read about somebody with the same issue who had tried to restore a backup from an Amazon Fire TV device to LibreELEC on an RPi. That won't work!

Thank you for the quick reply. I did not restore anything. I am running Libreelec on a mini x86 computer next to the TV nothing to do with Android or RPi. Any other ideas ?

Where does the "/usr/lib/kodi/addons" path comes from? should be in a config file somewhere. I checked the settings.xml of inputstreamhelper and its not there

[horstle]

Inputstreamhelper reads that from inputstream.adaptives settings. Something apparently changed the decrypter path there, but I wonder what/how.

ΟΚ understood, how do I change it manually what config file should I edit ?

[horstle]

You can change that from the GUI. Just go to the inpustream.adaptive settings.

I already searched the GUI and I don't have "/usr/lib/kodi/addons" anywhere in the GUI

[horstle]

What does it say at "Decrypter path"?

[Biomecanoid]

What does it say at "Decrypter path"? it says special://home/cdm which is correct

I fixed it now. All i had to do is hit defaults both at inputstreamhelper and inputstream adaptive and then select restore Widevine CDM library - (Re)installed Widevine CDM library would not work

This was a weird issue, all GUI configuration was fine because I could compare it with my working box. If I wanted to edit the config files manually which config is responsible ?

Thank you for your help

[horstle]

That would be the inputstream.adaptive config. It should usually be in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/inputstream.adaptive, but I'm not sure. We're using a Kodi method to read the setting.

Since you fixed it, can this issue be closed?

[Biomecanoid]

Yes you can close the issue thank you for you help :)
