I've just uploaded a new package `widevine` to the AUR. This package is valid for x86_64, aarch64 and armv7h, so it should correspond to the terms and conditions of the AUR. This means that it should be safe from getting deleted.
This new package doesn't require running registering scripts anymore. Just install, log out and back in and start your browser.
Thank you! I did a quick test and update of the documentation on https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2_FAQ#Can_PineTab2_play_back_DRM_content_such_as_Netflix%3F .
- Uninstalled widevine-aarch64 from my system. Confirmed that Netflix and Disney+ no longer work in both Firefox and Chromium.
- `yay -S widevine` (the recommendation to test using https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm and relogin was clearly visible when installing the package, cool)
- Confirmed that Netflix and Disney+ again work in both Firefox and Chromium. (4 tests)
- Note: I logged out and logged back in. I didn't need to restart the browsers more times -- but that's on my system. I added your note """ It might also be required to restart the browser up to 2 times before the widevine library is fully recognized and registered.""" to above wiki FAQ.
I updated (simplified) the docs to point to the new "widevine" package instead of procedure required yesterday for "widevine-aarch64".

Hello,
Thank you all for your tips and packages.
Please note that `yay -S widevine` now reports "No AUR package found for widevine"
However, I succeeded with:
Code:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/widevine.git
cd widevine
makepkg -sri
