Support optional Widevine for the ability to use Netflix #468
Comments
Seems likely it would be easy to support different user agents per domain, probably best integrated into the SiteHacks module. |
Here's a screen shot of what I see when attempting to view a video in Brave (without using any SiteHacks): The help center link, https://help.netflix.com/support/27451, suggests updating the WideVine (a Google company for DRM video) component, by going to |
Played with user agent strings a bit: Pepper support could be added here: electron/electron#2085 |
@bbondy did you try desktop safari? It works for me and I don't have any plugins |
it asks for silverlight with a simple UA change. Interesting that it works for you on safari without it though. |
If there is some content that is not DRM'ed the Firefox UA w/ windows would give the HTML5 player that would work in those cases. |
Experiencing the same issue as m141 |
I've gotten it to work on os x, Widevine and Flash on everything. line 102 - frame.js I also for safe measures added If you'd like to see what i did for my app.commandLine i'd be happy to share :) |
Thanks @MegaUber! I think the issue around Widevine is distribution. I believe it works if you already have it installed (with Chrome), but if not I think it has to be manually installed right now. I know Widevine is free to use, but we need to be sure that we won't be liable for distribution license fees (which can likely be avoided by downloading on install vs bundling). Do you want to submit a PR? |
Here is a link to a gist i put together that might or might not help if i did this right lol |
Very helpful, thanks @MegaUber ! |
I just submitted a PR for this. #1293 |
Should this be closed or not yet? |
Still very much an issue. One could use the experimental Flash support, but that's clearly undesirable (I yearn for the day in which we could get rid of it for good). |
I am Brazilian and I would like you to help me in this problem .. I can not in any way implement Widevine in browswer. My twitter @EuNlope |
Alguém pode mandar a linha de código pra mim por gentileza? Someone can have the line of code for me please? |
Still a major issue with amazon prime video too |
At last brought this to the browser .. Let's see how it behaves with the adoption of this plugin. |
I'm running Brave 0.12.7 on Ubuntu 16.10 and I don't have the option "Enable Google Widevine support" on my Security panel. |
probably not next release but soon, and tracking it here: |
Any updates on the linux release? |
This is working and will be shipped in the release next week. |
Netflix will play on Safari without Silverlight or Flash, but it does not appear to be working on Brave. Might be user-agent related?
