Widevine not compiling in newer versions

[eugor]

I've noticed that the newer versions (chrome 67+?) are no longer including automatic widevine builds. Neither my own nor the spotify builds include the dll.

What's the easiest way to build them (possibly without building the whole cef client again)?

If you’re referring to widevinecdmadapter it’s no longer required.

Then I have no idea why I'm getting an "Incompatible" error when loading Widevine. I've compiled cef/chromium with the following flags: set GN_DEFINES=proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome is_official_build=true enable_widevine=true use_jumbo_build=true target_cpu="x86"
My manifest.json (slightly modified the os/arch values to make it load) and widevinecdm.dll are from a Chrome offline installer from the same branch (3578.98).

Is there anything else I might have missed? Using a spotify build from the same branch with arguments " --enable-widevine-cdm --cache-path=c:\widevinecache" also gives me the same 6001 error when trying to play widevine content.

Edit: I've got it to work now. The correct arch-value in the manifest is "ia32" for 32bit builds. No idea why the default manifest from Chrome says "x86" and "x64".

This is all documented in cef_web_plugin.h. You might want to keep an eye on that file for future changes.
