so just tried this, now widevine is up and running. now i have encountered an issue where spotify wouldnt play audio for songs after 10 secs of a song playing. i can log in and play songs but after 10 secs of a song playing, audio would just stop but the song would continue. in this state, i can choose to either skip the to next song where the same thing would happen or choose to pause, after which i will be unable to unpause and will say stuck that way until i refresh.

It seems that spotify can't play on uncertified browser #1258

This method didn't work for me (Linux, debian based), looks like the widevine package from chromium.woolyss.com is not always fully compatible with the installed ungoogled-chromium version.

Using the example script from the official Wiki entry, How do I install Widevine CDM? is the best way to get this working.

Flatpak users mut keep in mind that the $_target_dir should point to the current and active package path.

$ flatpak list
...
ungoogled-chromium                           io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium               124.0.6367.201-1        stable             flathub               user
...
$ flatpak info --show-location io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium
/home/user/.local/share/flatpak/app/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium/x86_64/stable/8c371d40770182e4f0f527aca705be539a174112faed0dbb87fa6160a3221af3

That path can be resumed in this one
