electron-widevinecdm's Introduction

electron-widevinecdm

The project is deprecated. If you'd like to take over the project, contact me.

WidevineCDM for Electron - Allows you to run Netflix and other streaming websites in your Electron apps.

Compatibility

electron-widevinecdm supports macOS & Linux x64. But it does not support Windows (See #10).

According to Electron's documentation,

Note: The major version of Chrome browser has to be the same with the Chrome version used by Electron, otherwise the plugin will not work even though navigator.plugins would show it has been loaded.

So make sure to use the same Electron version with what is set in electron-widevinecdm's peerDependencies.

Installation

Install from npm registry

yarn add electron-widevinecdm

npm install electron-widevinecdm --save

Load the plugin:

const { app } = require('electron');
const widevine = require('electron-widevinecdm');

widevine.load(app);

Production/Packaging

Electron cannot load the plugin from asar archive so you need to disable asar or unpack node_modules/electron-widevinecdm/widevine directory from asar (example) when packaging the app.

electron-widevinecdm's Issues

Update Electron peer dependency to 1.8

yarn check complains that electron-widevinecdm requires Electron 1.7:

error "electron-widevinecdm#[email protected]" doesn't satisfy found match of "[email protected]"

but it seems to work correctly with Electron 1.8.

Would it be possible to update peerDependencies to accept 1.8 as well?

¿Will armv7l be supported?

¡Thank you for making this!

I would like to play netflix in a raspberry which has ARM architecture.
¿Will this package support that?

Problem with Binary Build with electron-builder

Hi,

The Plugin works fine, when I start the App from "npm start" but after packaging the App for Darwin (Mac) the Plugin is not available in Netflix an throws the usual error.

Widevine CDM files should not be hosted by this repo

Hi, @quanglam2807,
Do you know that Widevine CDM may not host for redistribution?? There is actual link for download directly from google you should use that instead hosting it in repo

Building error

When i try to build my Electron app i get this error

ERROR in ./~/electron-widevinecdm/src/index.js Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve 'file' or 'directory' ../package in /Users/george/Desktop/React/always-on-top/node_modules/electron-widevinecdm/src @ ./~/electron-widevinecdm/src/index.js 6:16-37

any idea?

Cannot watch Netflix anymore

I get the following error when attempting to watch something on Netflix:

Uncaught Error: attempting to use ShaktiProperties before the properties client has been initialized. This may mean you should defer your require until needed vs at the top of file.

DRM test fails

Using electron version 2.0.0 and node v8.11.2

Client side plugin download

Hi there,
I was thinking about using this for an App I'm building.
Would it be possible to run the install.js script on the client side instead of post-install? That way the first time a user opens the app it would download the correct plugin version and then load it.
