Title:
[snap] Cannot use libwidevinecdm.so to play back DRM-encrypted video
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
The chromium-browser deb package has a patch that allows the browser
to look for the content decryption module in /opt/google/chrome/ and
use it if present (assumes google-chrome is also installed).
This won't work with the snap, because the snap's runtime environment
won't use /opt from the host.
What could work is to patch chromium to look for libwidevinecdm.so
somewhere within the snap's area ($SNAP_USER_COMMON or
$SNAP_USER_DATA), and have instructions for the user to copy the file
to this area.
