Build www/chromium with necessary options to watch e.g. Netflix #145

Closed q-pa closed 1 month ago

q-pa commented 5 months ago

Describe the feature or enhancement.

Make the build-adjustments to have a chromium version on GhostBSD which enables the user to watch online streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ etc.

Why this request?

The necessary options are not enabled by default in the FreeBSD port. Lots of users use the linux-browser-installer (compat/ubuntu) or are forced to build the ports themselves. Having a GhostBSD package would make this much simpler, especially for beginners.

Here is one way to install Widevine on GhostBSD.

(1) sudo pkg install foreign-cdm (2) sudo pkg install src (3) sudo pkg install ports (4) cd /usr/ports/www/linux-widevine-cdm (5) sudo make install

Here is how to make Chromium work with Widevine.

(1) sudo pkg install bash bsddialog portconfig gperf flock py39-jinja2 py39-ply py39-html5lib node v4l_compat xcb-proto usbids libva mesa-dri qt5-core qt5-widgets os-generic-userland-devtools (2) cd www/chromium (4) sudo make config (4a) Enable WIDEVINE (4b) Enable PULSEAUDIO (4c) Disable SNDIO (5) sudo make -j4 DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes (6) sudo make install

(4b) Enable PULSEAUDIO (4c) Disable SNDIO

Maybe unnecessary, if using 125.0.6422.76 or greater as built for FreeBSD ports:

(4a) Enable WIDEVINE

Will licencing allow a GhostBSD repo to provide a package with this enabled?

https://github.com/FreeBSD/freebsd-ports/commit/7a12c6c96ac266f40f62de9a4281808054de609b was:

www/linux-widevine-cdm: Widevine DRM plugin from Google.

This port was decoupled from the www/foreign-cdm port to not violate redistribution restrictions of Google's license.

This can be closed for I found another solution:

  1. pkg install chromium
  2. pkg install foreign-cdm
  3. install port /usr/ports/www/linux-widevine-cdm
  4. pkg install ungoogled-chromium
  5. cp -r /usr/local/share/chromium/WidevineCdm /usr/local/share/ungoogled-chromium/
  6. pkg delete chromium
  7. use ungoogled-chromium to stream DRM content

foreign-cdm will be installed with Chromium automatically, but because of the license agreement, linux-widevine-cdm will need to be installed from ports.
