[SOLVED] Chromium not loading libwidevinecdm.so

Hello,

I'm using chromium and have installed chromium and chromium-widevine.
Is is present in /usr/lib/chromium

ls /usr/lib/chromium

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    788093 09-06 06:38 chrome_100_percent.pak
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   1063422 09-06 06:38 chrome_200_percent.pak

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   1531860 09-06 07:17 snapshot_blob.bin

I've reinstalled chromium already, but is is not visible in chrome://components and of course drm content is not working eg. here https://demo.castlabs.com
Under firefox with drm plugin everything is working...

What am I missing?
Thanks for help!

Yes.
Allow sites to play protected content is checked so everything seems to be fine...

According to size of the file you have an older version, maybe try updating chromium-widevine?

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium not loading libwidevinecdm.so

I copied libwidevinecdm.so and libwidevinecdmadapter.so from google chrome installation and it is working.
It is different size for sure, but I had same file that is available in aur.

Thanks for your help!
