widevinecdm refusing to install after following the windows-specific instructions
this is in reference to the ungoogled chromium wiki faq, which can be found at https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-wiki/blob/ce8c2b2cddd70cc3dcc17bec1e8f5ada792d14cf/faq.md
under the heading How do I install Widevine CDM?, there are windows specific instructions to install widevine cdm manually. following the instructions, it asks to download the current version from google's servers by obtaining the version number, and then using that number to download the cdm via the link.
it then asks to place the cdm in \AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data, and then check chrome://components/ to see if the cdm has been installed correctly- where the version must not be 0.0.0.0
after following these steps, and having the correct folder layout (as checked with the google chrome's offline installer's version of widevine, and googlechromeportable's too), the version is still 0.0.0.0 and hence is not installed. what is causing this?
i have attached my constructed version of widevine cdm. i have tried both x86 and x64 for the folder structure.
I have a similar issue.
I have also followed the same steps. I have tried using WidevineCDM components from the direct download link, the Google Chrome browser, and even the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser. None of them worked and the version remained as 0.0.0.0.
I have a similar issue, tried all the methods described by the users above -excluding trying the components from Microsoft Edge browser- but the version still shows 0.0.0.0 .
Could this issue be related to https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-wiki/issues/16?
Could this issue be related to ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-wiki#16?
I've tried the versions.txt instead but the issue still persists.
I tried the instructions on Chromium binary versions 87.0.4280.67-1 and 87.0.4280.141-1 by tangalbert919. I still get Widevine Content Decryption Module reporting as version 0.0.0.0.
