Widevine update crashes

  • Hi.

    I have RPI3 with LibreELEC9 and Kodi Leia.

    I have updated Netlix addon.

    Few days ago when i opened Netflix addon (which run smoothly until then) i got notification there is new Widevine and needs to be updated.

    I started update process. But it suddenly crashed and rebooted LibreELEC system into safe-mode. I rebooted back.

    When i tried to start Netflix video, system freezes and reboots again into safe-mode... So widevine update did not went thru obviously.

    I found out on the net that i need to delete .kodi/userdata/addon Inputstream folder and also .kodi/cdm/ .so file, which i did, to restart update process of Widevine.

    However, when i restart Widevine update process, same (crash) repeats. It starts downloading Widevine and on decompression it fails.

    I checked - i have enough storage (10GB+) free.

    How can i manually (command line) update widevine, or what should i do?

  • Sounds like a problem with Widevine (Whatever that is) and not LE. You will need to contact the developer to try and resolve the issue.

    To stop the update - turn off automatic update in the addons page.
