What did you do? I attempted to play Widevine-CBCS encrypted content on webos

What did you expect to happen? For the playback to work

What actually happened? It didn't work, on some versions it fails with 4032 and later on with 6001 shaka player error code

I was able to find the commit that broke the playback by testing and compiling shaka player commit by commit - it was https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player/commit/ec29f82592fdec9e189fc87a25704fabffb7d404

If I understand what the commit does, it is trying to detect cbcs encryption support and if not supported, it will remove the tracks. But webos6 does support CBCS and therefore it should play normally. Is there something we can change, configuration-wise in the player to make this work? Or is it an issue with webos and its declaration of supported drms? I tried setting up audioRobustness as well but that didn't help

Are you planning send a PR to fix it? I tried to study the commit in question but I am not sure I fully understand it

iI was looking again at the commit that broke it and perhaps it was not in shaka code but in the library that was updated, this commit seems like related to cbcs and encryption support https://github.com/shaka-project/eme-encryption-scheme-polyfill/pull/63

[jakubvojacek]

I think here https://github.com/shaka-project/eme-encryption-scheme-polyfill/pull/63/files#diff-e727e4bdf3657fd1d798edcd6b099d6e092f8573cba266154583a746bba0f346R619 there should also be something

|| isRecentWebOs()

and the method should return true if its webos and Chrome version in user agent is higher or equal to 68. Not sure how to test this in my environment tho, not that familiar with npm and javascript.

You could send a PR to that project to fix it. You can test in Shaka by checking out source to the polyfill, modifying, building, then copying it over node_modules/... in Shaka.

[jakubvojacek]

@joeyparrish I tried your approach but for some reason, the build of shaka player is refusing to pick up my changed polyfill, instead it reinstalls it

I checked useragent of the TV I got in the office and it was Mozilla/5.0 (Web0S; Linux/SmartTV) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.79 Safari/537.36 WebAppManager

Based on the useragent, I believe the following diff is required but didn't manage to test it.
