Playing DRM content like Netflix (widevine-aarch64 seems not available)

Thank you both for the answers!
As for https://github.com/AsahiLinux/widevine-installer - I also found it and mentioned in my query. The script refuses to work due to old glibc, as they say in README """Using Widevine requires glibc version 2.36 or later. Arch Linux ARM ships an ancient glibc version, and will not work at this time.""" .
As for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/widevine-aarch64 , it is not available. The link https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/widevine-aarch64 returns "404 - Page Not Found" now, "yay -S widevine-aarch64" also says it is not available. It seems this package existed in the past (FAQ also mentions it, https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2_FA...as_Netflix? ) but for some doesn't exist anymore.
Combining the 2 answers, I guess installing https://aur.archlinux.org/glibc-widevine.git and then following https://github.com/AsahiLinux/widevine-installer may be a viable option. I'll try it. Admittedly, yesterday I interrupted glibc-widevine compilation after ~24 hours, but I guess I should be more patient
