  • Problem with installing Widevine

    In order to try to solve the issue I have downloaded the file chromeos_15236.66.0_atlas_recovery_stable-channel_mp.bin.zip from https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/serving-builds…ory=Chrome%20OS

    Then I have copied this file to the RBpi 3B and have opened InputStreamHelper / Debug / Install Widevine CDM library from specific source and direct it to the chromeos zipfile that I just downloaded.

    Then it starts extracting and when it is finished it says that "Update of widevine is necessary".

    So back to the point where I started.

    Below the text in kodi.log as result from the action above

    The good thing is that there are no complaints any more about filesizes & checksums.

    Thanks for your comments. I use a 16GB SD card from which 13.3G is still available.

  • Problem with installing Widevine

    Hello,

    I have done a clean install from LibreElec 10.0.4 on a Raspberry Pi 3B with and installed some Addons

    (Retrospekt, ARD) and can watch TV.

    However, some channels ask to install Widevine and when I try to do that then I get an error message.

    I have rebooted and tried to reinstall Widevine via the inputstreamhelper addon, but with the same result.

    When I look in Kodi.log then I see the following lines:

    Code
    2023-02-01 12:37:16.289 T:838     ERROR <general>: [script.module.inputstreamhelper] Widevine CDM is not installed.

    Complete log can be found here https://pastebin.com/1Hg7rP49

    The reason I did a clean install is that I was also facing problems with Widevine in the previous installation i.e. LibreELEC (official): 9.2.8. ( Kodi 18.9.0)

    Up till a few days that install was working fine.

    When I search in the kodi.log of that installation, then I run into the same set of lines:

    Code
    2023-02-01 19:52:21.017 T:1790935936  NOTICE: [script.module.inputstreamhelper] Downloading ChromeOS image for Widevine: BOB (15236.66.0)

2023-02-01 19:56:15.016 T:1790935936   ERROR: [script.module.inputstreamhelper] Download failed, checksums do not match!

    So I have the impression that there is a problem with widevine itself.

    I did some searching w.r.t. this issue and found some old posts, but they have a slightly different problem description and I'm not an expert.

    Any suggestions to solve this issue would be welcome.
