I watch the F1 on NowTV. In windows this works fine in Firefox but not in Linux. My research turned up various posts linking to the “widevine” package that depends on “glibc-widevine” but that seems to have disappeared. What happened to it? did it work? where can I get it? is there an alternative?
Glibc-widevine is only needed on arm and the aur comments have a link.
Yeah that’s what it said but it is required by the widevine aur package. I guess I could fork that package to remove the glibc-widevine package?
The pkgbuild should not depend on it if you build in x64, that is only a display Problem in the web i think. Firefox should be avle to download its own copy of widevine though.
Yeah. The PKGBUILD says glibc-widevine is only required for armv7h and aarch64 builds. SO it’s just aurweb that’s displaying it wrong.
There was a deletion request for that package, because it is not intended for x86 and mirrors a package in the official repos. It seems like it was deleted. I remember it getting an update not to long ago.
You can still clone the aur repo and get the PKGBUILD from there: https://aur.archlinux.org/glibc-widevine.git But be aware, that it doesn’t get updates anymore.
