Netflix? Widevine

Has anyone been able to get widevine working on either the pocket or Reform classic?

I know it is evil, but just curious if someone was able to get it working?

As per widevine-cdm: add aarch64 support by RossComputerGuy · Pull Request #343393 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub - widevine-cdm: add aarch64 support widevine works on aarch64.

Set a user agent to watch netflix, for example: chromium --ozone-platform=wayland --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS aarch64 15236.80.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.5414.125 Safari/537.36"

Thank you! But this isn’t working for me. I also tried running a flatpak Chromium to see if it would bundle the widevine component but that didn’t work either.

What do you see at DRM Secure Stream Test using HTML5 Video Player | Bitmovin ?

I’m currently on amd64 and firefox, and see video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42c00d", video/webm; codecs="vorbis,vp8" and widevine as supported.

edit: I tested netflix on my aarch64 T14s with that exact chromium command before I posted my reply yesterday so widevine/netflix/aarch64 does not just work in theory only.
