Description Joshua Clayton 2019-09-14 02:01:10 UTC 
Netflix and Amazon prime refuse to play video with google-chrome unstable 78.0.3902.4
To troubleshoot it, I first moved ~/.config/google-chrome-unstable, to see if it was profile or plugin related.
No joy, but after downgrading to google-chrome-beta-77.0.3865.75 it works as before.
This might be an upstream bug.

If anyone else runs into this, maybe you can report it to google through the reporting tool in chrome.

i can confirm this. google-chrome-unstable does not install libwidevinecdm.so anymore.

Likely this one: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1002648
Comment 3 Alexander Kurakin 2020-05-18 08:39:30 UTC 
Could anyone confirm it works for current Chrome/Chromium, please?
