Winevine DRM implementation to open source Linux solution

[JJ Posi]

I am building a custom open source solution for streaming services that are paid and I’m using python QT6. My UI works, but it needs Google Chrome as its plugin backend. The idea is that all kinds of remote controls could work in this Linux solution and you could use the services that you have paid for without having any pains with remotes that come with streaming boxes. This is important for people who have accessibility issues so I’m wondering: What is the correct way to get and use Google DRM legally without downloading the entire Google Chrome?

Contact Widevine, I guess?

I assume each software that uses your open-source solution will have to contact Widevine to get the plugin on their own. I doubt you can include it as part of your solution. But Widevine would know more than a chromium-extensions Google group...
