[SOLVED] Qutebrowser+Netflix with chromium-widevine plugin not working

Hello,

I just did a clean install of Arch on my computer and have been trying to get netflix working with qutebrowser. I have chromium and the widevine plugin installed (Netflix works perfectly fine using chromium), but it doesn't get recognized in qutebrowser. I have a second machine where it's working just fine in this setup so I'm rather clueless as to where to even check, and it doesn't seem that others are having the same issue.

Thanks for any help

You need qt5-webengine-widevine for qutebrowser, not chromium-widevine

Installed the qt5-webengine-widevine package and did

:set qt.args [ppapi-widevine-path=/usr/lib/qt/plugins/ppapi/libwidevinecdmadapter.so]

in qutebrowser, as suggested on the AUR page. Everything works now.
