[InputStream Adaptive] Widevine Installation Error

DasChaos · April 9, 2022 at 5:58 PM

Hey,

I installed LibreELEC on my Raspberry Pi 4 today. When trying to install widevine with InputStream Adaptive it is aborting with an error after downloading.

The log is showing this:

Code

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it?

Thanks

This line [script.module.inputstreamhelper] File libwidevinecdm.so not found in the ChromeOS image says all about it.

Try installing Widevine from alternative sources like the SlyGuy Common addon.

Yeah, have the same problem, I am unable to fix it, please tell me If you find something

I would too

Same here. I do not know if it helps... I have found a recipe for getting libwidevinecdm for vivaldi from

Feeding the URL to "Input stream helper" did not help, neither feeding it with downloaded .bin.zip or .bin file.

I have managed on my Linux box to extract libwidevinecdm.so file from the image.

Now I wonder if what would be the place to put it?

This is a known issue in inpuptstreamhelper, see here https://github.com/emilsvennesson…lper/issues/511 - comments in the issue also contain a workaround

so long,

Thanks for you answer, but it didn't help because some apps require inputstreamer and SlyGuy can't be used.

This worked, for everyone:
I opened the file /storage/.kodi/addons/script.module.inputstreamhelper/lib/inputstreamhelper/widevine/arm_chromeos.py and replaced line 96 with

Code

                if dir_dict['inode'] < self.sb_dict['s_inodes_count']:

then everything worked as expected.

Thank you all for your help
