I am also interested in widevinecdm based contents on NetBSD. It's a pain to leave your default OS and reboot to Linux every time to watch a video. Haven't tried qemu of late. But it used to be too slow for this purpose. Linux emulation layer can be an alternative. Flash plugin, adobe reader, libreoffice-bin etc have been working pretty fine on NetBSD through Linux emulation. Not sure what it would take to make firefox-bin available on NetBSD. Xen is yet another alternative. But some limitations like NetBSD Dom0 can use only 1 cpu make it less attractive for this purpose. You'd rather want a Linux DomU to use 1 cpu and let NetBSD Dom0 use the rest. Looking forward to a wider discussion on this. Mayuresh
