A script to generate a deb package from a standard Chromium build for RPi
Hi @kusti8 ,
First of all thanks for build chromium for Netflix (and many other services which required widevine).
I recently upgraded my RPI to "Stretch" that bring my chromium-browser to version 60.0. Is it possible for you to generate a new deb package base on this version?
Unfortunaly the version posted for netflix-1.0.0 is 56.
I am clearly not a king in all of this programming things :(
I would appreciate a lot!
Thanks!
Diego
As of today, Amazon is requiring a newer version of Chrome to play prime video. Any hope of you providing us casual users with a .deb of 60 with widevine working?
Thanks.
Hi what's your existing build process to compile from scratch. There must be a way to get widevine working properly on chromium. I'm happy to contribute.
Cheers
Hi, I'm putting together a raspi3 for my father, for basic use and browser games.
My father what most plays is candy crush and this requires flash player.
I want to know if with this plugin I would allow the execution of this game
Hello,
I tried running your script, but it is a bit mysterious as to what's actually happening. Can you sehd some light on a few things?
In https://github.com/kusti8/chromium-build/blob/master/build-deb.sh#L27 you download a tarball from your own repo. Where does that come from/what does it contain?
In https://github.com/kusti8/chromium-build/blob/master/build-deb.sh#L32 it obviously expects a src/ directory. Can you enlighten us a bit more what that is?
The general idea here is that you're copying a few things from another chrome version I guess? A little explanation would be awesome :)
thanks for the great work by the way, I have a 3 year old son who is very happy on a daily basis :)
Hi,
I am trying to make Widevine work on my Raspberry pi 3 with Chromium 65, but I don't reach to load the WIdevine library. Do I need a different version of the library in order to work with Chromium 65? If true, where can I get it? Do I need to compile Chromium from sources?
Best regards,
Roberto

This means, e.g. clicking a web link from another app results instead in opening a Chromium window (or tab if it's already running) on Netflix.com rather than what the user intended.
I'm a Linux amateur, so I'm not even sure how to go about fixing this. As-is, it kind of cripples the functionality of a web browser when clicking links is broken. Help?
EDIT: Again, I'm a Linux amateur, so I don't know what populates what, i.e. whether changes to /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache are read into /etc/mailcap or what, but another apparent symptom of this can be found in the former:

Specifically, the MimeType line. Lay user guess: since it's installed after Chromium, it's gobbling up all these MIME-types you list here. I don't think it's really necessary for this shortcut to be handling any MIME-types at all, since its use case is to launch it directly when wishing to view Netflix.
I've now rectified this issue on my end. I removed the MimeType line from my personal netflix-launcher.desktop and ran a sudo update-mime, which corrected my mailcap. I then ran a sudo update-desktop-database, which updated my mimeinfo.cache . Everything now seems to be behaving as desired.
Hey.
Thanks for this.
Unfortunately after I installed your chromium build, I wasn't able to start the browser and received an error along the lines of:

That's when installing your chromium 56 .deb.
Tried it on raspbian stretch and jessie.
Any idea what that could be?
I used the site article https://techwiztime.com/article/netflix-on-raspberry-pi/ and on netflix get error M7121-1331-P7 in any movie or tv series.
THe old command line to add Chromium with netflix was "wget https://github.com/kusti8/chromium-build/releases/download/netflix-1.0.0/chromium-browser_56.0.2924.84-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1011.deb
sudo dpkg -i chromium-browser_56.0.2924.84-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1011.deb:
is it possible to publish the new command line for the Chromium 60 update as I see that you have updated the code to install chromium 60. The command line will make it easy for noobs like me. Thanks
I have been watching netflix in my pi for a few weeks but today it stopped working. The error code shown is C7121-1331-P7. It only me or it is happening to more people?
