Suggestion/request to information screen

[CastagnaIT]

Many, many, many people do not understand that on android you can not get the Widevine version with ISHelper
They read "Not found" and most of the time always think the component is missing.

I'm really tired of saying the same thing to every new person who comes in...

I suggest adding a variable to identify the execution on Android system
and add a new line of information such as:
- Widevine package: Embedded [on android] / Installed [to others] / Not installed

And for this line:
- Widevine version: N° of version
make it non-visible on android system

this would make it easier for everyone to understand and read the info data

This is already fixed in the master branch (#208), but we haven't released it yet.

oh luckily, well
thanks!

Given that we did this in October 2019, maybe we ought to consider making a new v0.5.0 release?

I would also like to query the library to get the version from it directly, rather than grep for a pattern.

[CastagnaIT]

you can try to get the android widevine version in in this way:

create a instance of xbmcdrm.CryptoSession, then get the "version" string

look at android_crypto.py in CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix#438

@CastagnaIT It doesn't seem to work, every key I ask for is empty. At least on a Raspberry Pi.

This works to get the version on Linux:

from ctypes import *
_widevine_lib = cdll.LoadLibrary('libwidevinecdm.so')
get_cdm_version = _widevine_lib.GetCdmVersion
get_cdm_version.restype = c_char_p
print('Widevine version: %s' % get_cdm_version())
