FIXED(Unofficial): Chromium 55+Netflix = No longer working in LibreELEC 8.1.2!

Hi LibreELEC community.

My 2 x LibreELEC installations on x86 hardware no longer works with Chromium browser and Netflix.

This have worked totally fine before - I have just last week upgraded to 8.1.2 - So not sure if this upgrade can be the root cause or a new version of chromium!?

Anyone still have a working Netflix setup on LibreELEC?

P.S When look in in chrome://components/ - I do no longer see the Widevine plugin - And If I reinstall the addon or try to install within the addon, it installs fine, but is not available in the list.

*bump*

Anyone have similar issues? Or on the other hand can confirm that Netflix is actually working(in any version of LibreELEC)?

Already replaced one workstation with an Android TV box now - Kids/Wife just wants Netflix running! (kept driving me up the wall!)

Would like to have my x86 setup still, hence it performs better than Android boxes.

I'm using Chrome in my community build, perhaps it can be of interest. Netflix works fine.

escalade thx but.....

Problem solved! Found this thread:

Chromium?

Installing this version 59 .zip(remove old version 55 one first) this will spawn Netflix back to life:-)
