        I get the same error and I'm using Google Chrome version 38.0.2114.2 64-bit. I first tried the original instructions, then I tried altering the user agent to match the version number, but whatever I've tried, I get the same error.

            I'm running Chrome, not Chromium.

              I get the same problem. It might be some problem with chrome.

              The good idea is that Netflix at least tries to do something. Maybe they'll fix by the time we get v38 stable.

Someone should try this - download and unpack Chrome, copy libwidevinecdm.so and libwidevinecdmadapter.so into Chromium's directory (usually /usr/lib/chromium), then check aboutlugins to see if Widevine is listed there.
                You're conflating 2 issues. Chromium itself does not ship any proprietary code, blobs, or h264 support, which is the whole point of Chromium. Chrome does, and that's what makes it different from Chromium.

                That doesn't mean someone can't separately add a binary blob to it, and have it work - or recompile with the h264 support re-enabled, or so on and so forth.

                I'm fairly certain someone will figure out how to enable drm in chromium, but it may still take a patch and recompile of the codebase before it fully works.

                    It works fine on Ubuntu, I had no issue getting it to work here. You're going to end up making Arch users look bad if your don't curb your fanboism.

                      I'm also running Ubuntu, 12.04 64 bit if that matters, wonder why it doesn't work for me...
