Latest widevine not working

openminded · 27 May 2021 19:17

Following up on Widevine cdm 13816.64.0 - #9 by nfm886 .
I think this issue is not resolved, I still have it on the latest kodi 18.9 on coreelec 9.2.7. reverting to previous widevine works for the Netflix plugin but the new one does not.
There is a great bug for LibreElec that lays out the issue and there is fix available too.

Can a developer take a look and add it to CoreElec?
According to the post, it may break in a week otherwise, depending on actions from Google:

arm bug widevine

It seems our users updating Widevine CDM on ARM are downloading a different kind… of libwidevinecdm.so. The error shown in the Kodi log is: ```log ERROR: AddOnLog: InputStream Adaptive: Unable to load widevine shared library (/storage/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so) ERROR: AddOnLog: InputStream Adaptive: OpenDRMSystem failed ``` The older Widevine CDM has the following dependencies: ```bash kodi04:~ # cd ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.module.inputstreamhelper/backup kodi04:backup # ls -l 13505.111.0/libwidevinecdm.so -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 7297324 Feb 4 19:03 13505.111.0/libwidevinecdm.so kodi04:backup # sha1sum 13505.111.0/libwidevinecdm.so d5ee489d5c409ff6cb423f318a23dba71ff2f2b0 13505.111.0/libwidevinecdm.so kodi04:backup # ldd 13505.111.0/libwidevinecdm.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0xbeca5000) /usr/lib/libarmmem-v7l.so (0xb67ac000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb6783000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0xb6719000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb6706000) librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0xb66ef000) libnss3.so => /usr/lib/libnss3.so (0xb65fa000) libnssutil3.so => /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so (0xb65c8000) libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xb6594000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0xb6459000) /usr/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (0xb6f0a000) libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0xb6f30000) libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0xb6f2c000) ``` The newer (broken) Widevine CDM has fewer dependencies: ```bash kodi04:~ # ls -la .kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so -rwxr--r-- 2 root root 8887360 May 10 14:51 .kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so kodi04:~ # sha1sum .kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so 4d129768d3753328a837a940e6ee903830c791c4 .kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so kodi04:~ # ldd .kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0xbee96000) /usr/lib/libarmmem-v7l.so (0xb5dcb000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb5db8000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb5d8f000) librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0xb5d78000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0xb5d0e000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0xb5bd3000) /usr/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (0xb6f6c000) ``` This newer Widevine CDM no longer depends on libnss3, libnssutil3, libnspr4, libplc4 and libplds4. Reported at CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix#1154 and xbmc/inputstream.adaptive#678

I’m using 0.5.3 of inputstream helper.

Note that when you reinstall widevine, it only loads after reboot.

Latest Widevine 4.10.2252.0 fails to load

It appears Google may have changed the latest Widevine libraries, the size has c…hanged by about 1M, and it is not linking all of the same libraries as it used to (perhaps some stuff is statically linked now). In any case these are the errors, but there isn't enough logging to know the issue. Also the dlerror() message is squashed and never bubbles up. 2021-05-09 20:29:53.661 T:4807 ERROR <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: Unable to load widevine shared library (/storage/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so) 2021-05-09 20:29:53.661 T:4807 ERROR <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: OpenDRMSystem failed Related issues: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/issues/1154 Working CDM: 13505.111.0/libwidevinecdm.so: linux-vdso.so.1 (0xbefbd000) /usr/lib/libarmmem-v7l.so (0xb6808000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb67df000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0xb6776000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb6763000) librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0xb674c000) libnss3.so => /usr/lib/libnss3.so (0xb664f000) libnssutil3.so => /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so (0xb661c000) libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xb65e5000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0xb64a6000) /usr/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (0xb6f66000) libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0xb6f8f000) libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0xb6f8b000) Non-working CDM: 13816.64.0/libwidevinecdm.so: linux-vdso.so.1 (0xbedb9000) /usr/lib/libarmmem-v7l.so (0xb5dd7000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb5dc4000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb5d9b000) librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0xb5d84000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0xb5d1b000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0xb5bdc000) /usr/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (0xb6f78000)

I mentioned this topic there because CoreElec is mentioned.
I hope the fix discussed there can be incorporated.

It seems this is fixed in nightlies, I am wondering when it will be in a release?
I’m on 9.2.7 now, should I upgrade to 19.x? Thanks

boot2k3 · 27 May 2021 19:27

It’s fixed already in CE19 nightly builds.

Betatester · 27 May 2021 20:42

CoreELEC users should be good to upgrade to Matrix (19.x). Be aware not all Kodi Add-ons are Matrix compatible (yet) and some repositories might need to be updated after the upgrade from Leia to Matrix. Any incompatible Add-on would have to be discussed with the maintainer of that Add-on. Team CoreELEC has no involvement with 3rd party Add-ons.

nfm886 · 28 May 2021 09:44

When can we expect next stable release of CE?

frodo19 · 28 May 2021 10:01

Then would be nice to backport this fix to 9.2 CE Leia too.

Portisch · 28 May 2021 10:07

Not yet. 9.2 is to stable to break it. Maybe later when the cdm features are back to stable again.
And then only for project Amlogic, maybe not for Amlogic-ng as this project is supported by CE-19.

Also inputstream.helper got already updated by TK to 0.5.4 downloading the old cdm if the system does not support the new one. So it’s kind of save already.

openminded · 28 May 2021 11:01

Aha, I did not see the 0.5.4 version.
According to the github chat though, that may break 1st of June because Google will deprecate/remove older versions.
I guess we will know in a few days if that is true.
I love my stable CoreELEC 9.2.7, would be great if it will be fixed to support the new CDM.
I don’t know at the moment which plugins will break and Netflix is not the most used one, so I might not try for a while, or on another system.

We’re following this situation closely and will act accordingly if something breaks.

openminded · 1 June 2021 14:57

great. it seems the old versions of widevine were revoked:

sorry to update but seems stuff is going on here : https://github.dot.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/issues/1179#issuecomment-852918911
CoreElec is mentioned, some issues with the nightlies.
Hoping this will be sorted.
I checked yesterday, and my 9.2.7 install with the older Widevine still plays Netflix…

Vasco · 2 June 2021 23:02

We’re still trying to solve things in the main branch. After that we’ll see what will be backported to Leia but only in amlogic branch. Amlogic-ng capable devices should update to Matrix.
