Enable Widevine Meta-Browser Yocto

[Muhammad Hunzala Ayub Awan]

Hi,

I am trying to build Yocto Dunfell with meta-browser layer on a custom device.

I've successfully managed to run chromium using the meta-browser layer but cannot find widevine plugin inside "chrome://plugins" to run DRM content.

I can find the libwidevinecdm.so file after the installation but whenever I try to run Netflix it asks for the widevine plugin.

I am running Netflix using following command:

/usr/bin/chromium --no-sandbox --in-process-gpu --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS armv7l 13099.85.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.116 Safari/537.36" --touch-devices=enabled --touch-events=enabled --disable-pinch --overscroll-history-navigation=0 --force-device-scale-factor=1 --disable-infobars --enable-checker-imaging --disable-quic --enable-tcp-fast-open --enable-fast-unload --enable-experimental-canvas-features --answers-in-suggest --enable-zero-copy --enable-simple-cache-backend --enable-ime-service --app=https://netflix.com

One more issue is that I cannot open the Chromium "Settings" page after integrating widevine. It gives an error of "Oh Snap!"

Any ideas on how to add the widevine in meta-browser layer? Or are there any flags which help to enable widevine in chromium during running?
