Hi there, I have an issue when opening Netflix with Electron.
I had a Widevine plugin working for some time, and it started to fail unexpectedly.

Could you help troubleshoot this please?

  • Electron version: 1.8.4

  • Operating system: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3

  • My environment

env version
ares "1.10.1-DEV"
atom-shell "1.8.4"
chrome "59.0.3071.115"
electron "1.8.4"
http_parser "2.7.0"
modules "57"
node "8.2.1"
openssl "1.0.2l"
uv "1.13.1"
v8 "5.9.211.38"
zlib "1.2.11"

Expected behavior

When widevine plugin is correctly loaded, it should play Netflix.

Actual behavior

Getting an error in Netflix, eventhough shaka and bitmovin show a correctly loaded and activated widevine plugin.

How to reproduce

I've created a very simple repo which will help reproduce the issue easily.
You'll be able to also load Bitmovin and Shaka to ensure Widevine is indeed correctly enabled.

git clone git@github.com:yoannmoinet/netflix-and-electron.git
cd netflix-and-electron
npm install
npm start

Thank you so much for your help.
