Package: chromium Version: 83.0.4103.116-3+b1 Severity: normal GeForce Now has recently released a web app version of their service for Chrome OS. Some have confirmed that it works on Linux in Google Chrome and in a few of Chromium-based browsers, as long as you change User-Agent to that of Chrome OS to make the website let you through[1]. It also works in Freeworld Chromium[2], which is a Chromium with some vaapi and widevine patches applied[3]. Chromium on Testing and Sid has vaapi enabled and I have put libwidevinecdm.so at ~/.local/lib/libwidevinecdm.so as per README.Debian instructions, so I have expected it to work. However, I'm unable to get GeForce Now working. When starting a game and sitting though the free tier waiting queue, GeForce Now webwise says: "ERROR CODE: 0xC0F2220E" - the same error code that a Fedora user solved by using Freeworld Chromium instead of Fedora's Chromium[2]. Perhaps Debian's Chromium is missing some patches to get this working, given that Freeworld Chromium reportedly works?
