Sorry for this vague bugreport, but I can't find any mention of it anywhere. chromium dev channel has not worked with +widevine for a while now (since version 70.x at least), build flags +widewine and chrome-binary-plugins +widevine does not result in any widevine appearing in chrome://components anymore (both with +component-build and with -component-build). I didn't think of reporting it when I first discovered it, because I thought it was because I used an out of tree vaapi-enablement patch, but the problem is still there without that applied. I think the story is the same with other distros, since most uses the same patch as portage does.

Yeah, I have no idea what upstream is doing with the widevine code, and I don't care enough to research it. Patches welcome.
Copying Greg, since he fixed this last time it broke.
Hey, thanks for the cc Mike. I am in-between Gentoo's at the moment but will most definitely get bitten by this soon, at which time I will have a system capable of churning through chromium builds at a much more reasonable pace and and entertainment-deprivation to keep me motivated. Probably another week or three. Of course at that point I may simply discover I don't know how.... My magic 8-ball promises me that at some point in the future, keeping this as a simple patch will become prohibitively insecure, illegal, ugly, etc., and something far, far more drastic will be required.
some of the 70.x widevine builds work for me, the 71.x build is a disaster. Memory consumption during the build process for 71.x exceeds 24 GB by default which is unacceptable. I know "memory is cheap," however, it's not that cheap and I was forced to add `EXTRA_GN="jumbo_file_merge_limit=50"` to my make.conf to have any hope of completing the linking process. I am not sure what the upstream guys are thinking?!? How do they even work on this bloated monster?
(In reply to Alex Barker from comment #4) > How do they even work on this bloated monster? Last I heard they equip chrome developers with super-beefy workstation hardware. I am pretty sure that in my memory-exhaustion-related failures (some time ago), it was actually systemd memory limits -- not total virtual memory -- that was being exhausted; you might take a peek and make sure that's not the case for you (I never really solved that problem, myself, due to lack of patience/time/sticktoitiveness). Also, memory is not cheap! But hopefully it will be cheap again some day :)
I can indeed confirm that 70.x works as expected.

I compile with Clang in a 4GB VM using the following flags: CC=clang CXX=clang++ CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -flto=thin -march=native" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" LDFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" AR="ar" NM="nm" RANLIB=/bin/true
Is there anything I can look into to help resolve this issue?
Debian people seem to suggest using this patch, I will test and report back later... much later. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=916058;filename=chromium_71_widevine.debdiff;msg=5
It looks like Arch are using this patch: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/chromium-widevine.patch?h=packages/chromium I'll test it out
I can confirm the patch from Arch gets it working

Both patches are functionally the same so I would suggest adding the arch patch to 71.0.3578.98 and probably 71.0.3578.80. Thanks Mike.
Created attachment 558484 [details, diff] chromium-widevine-r4.patch Well it seems I have solved this by procrastinating. I thought that might work :) Anyhow here is a gentooified chromium-widevine-r4.patch candidate which W4M based on -r3 and the Arch patch referenced below. Found a new bug testing this out but... well it's not this bug I think.
hmm, wierd. https://670928.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=558484&action=diff&format=raw&headers=1 has garbage in place of a description at the top, but https://670928.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=558484 is the actual correct patch. Is that normal bgo behavior? Probably totally normal and I'm just stacking pebcak's in such a way that it looks to me like some inscrutable bug. But otherwise, it's some inscrutable bug, I think.
