HOW TO ENABLE WIDEVINE CDM (DRM) FOR HELIUM BROWSER @UncleSpellbinder @mbod

  1. Install chromium-widevine from the AUR or Chaotic-AUR. yay chromium-widevine
  2. Create latest-component-updated-widevine-cdm file in
    .config/net.imput.helium/WidevineCdm/ directory (if any of the directories don’t exist, just create it).
  3. Open the latest-component-updated-widevine-cdm file with your favorite text editor and add {"Path":"/usr/lib/chromium/WidevineCdm"}
  4. Open Helium and go to https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm to test if Widevine works, if it works, it should say Detected Chromium, using widevine

And that’s all, you should now have a working widevine implementation in Helium. For me it didn’t magically disapear or anything like that, so it should work well. If it doesn’t work reply me and I will change the guide accordingly. If it was helpful put a like.

EDIT: put line break in 2nd step and changed title.
