Support Protected Content in Web Apps (Widevine)

[frpenguin]

If I create a standalone web app for netflix.com or primevideo.com, for example, video does not play due to the lack of widevine. In my system (Arch) the package chromium-widevine is installed from the AUR and works fine with qutebrowser. Is there a posibility of doing the same for web apps created by bauh ?

Hi @frpenguin. I've seen this issue as well. It would be cool to have these apps supported by bauh. If I'm not mistaken, nativefier currently does not support widevine. But I will try to figure out a way to do that.

Hi @vinifmor. Thanks for the quick reply. Maybe through electron: https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/testing-widevine-cdm. There was a previous project(https://github.com/quanglam2807/electron-widevinecdm) but has been deprecated.

Thanks for the docs, I will have a look here.

The latest version of nativefier (11.0.2) is supporting widevine. I'm currently testing it here to integrate within the next minor release (0.9.10). PrimeVideo seems to work fine.

Done. You can now choose this new option on the installation window:

I've just published an RC to AUR (package: bauh-staging. version: 0.9.10.RC-1)
