Watching Spotify and listening to Netflix in 2023

[graemeg]

I don't use Spotify, but I can confirm Chromium now plays Netflix just fine. ?

elgrande, does https://github.com/shkhln/foreign-cdm/commit/2a5fd7acac67111bdd337661952ed631873f3dd4 work for you?

yes!

 

[elgrande]

P.S.: With the latest fix shkhln linked, it now also works under Wayland with XDG_RUNTIME_DIR setup correctly as the handbook says:

setenv XDG_RUNTIME_DIR /var/run/user/`id -u`

...and Chromium plays Hulu just fine on 13.2-RELEASE-p5.

As a few people already noticed, www/chromium has been recently patched to enable Widevine support. (It's debatable whether that's a good or bad thing, but the demand is certainly there.)

This is done with the help of www/foreign-cdm, which is a relatively straightforward proxy for the Content Decryption Module API. The port provides a native FreeBSD CDM implementation (a shared library) that in background transparently launches one or more Linux processes loading Widevine. They communicate through a pair of Unix sockets.

Widevine itself is available through www/linux-widevine-cdm.

So, what does that actually mean? Enabling DRM playback should now be as easy as (assuming the latest repo):

% sudo pkg install chromium # 117.0.5938.149_2 or higher

% sudo pkg install foreign-cdm
% sudo sysrc linux_enable="YES"
% sudo service linux start

% git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports
% cd freebsd-ports/www/linux-widevine-cdm
% make
% sudo make install

Use the demo at https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm or https://reference.dashif.org/dash.js/latest/samples/drm/widevine.html to test the playback. (This might require a few attempts + browser restart.)

There are, of course, some limitations:

1. we are permanently restricted to the Widevine L3 protection level, just like Linux;
2. there is no sandboxing yet;
3. I'll eventually get to disabling debug logging as well as fixing a few minor memory leaks, but for the time being they remain there for everyone to enjoy.

Following these instructions won't allow you to watch Netflix or Disney+ on 15-CURRENT. Doing this, however, allowed me to watch Netflix/Disney+ videos in chromium on 15-CURRENT after kldloading linux64, installing chromium, foreign-cdm, and linux-widevine-cdm: "mount -t fdescfs fdescfs /dev/fd". Before I mounted fdescfs at /dev/fd, Netflix/Disney+ videos didn't start in chromium, so this step was crucial for me. Note that I didn't have to type "service linux onestart". Mounting anything at /compat/linux subdirectories didn't allow me to watch widevine videos, but mounting fdescfs at /dev/fd allowed me to do it, and I could unmount everything that was mounted at /compat/linux subdirectories and continue watching widevine videos.

 

[shkhln]

Following these instructions won't allow

No, those are the correct instructions, it's your computer that is wrong™. You are likely misinterpreting something. There were 2 bugs fixed recently, one fix is not yet in the ports even.

 

[Oleg_NYC]

You might be right... But as I said, mounting fdescfs at /dev/fd was the necessary step for me and it finally allowed me to watch widevine videos. In my loader.conf, I have "linux64_load=YES" and in my fstab file, I have "fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0". I have no need for "linux_enable=YES" in rc.conf because I don't need to mount anything at /compat/linux subdirectories.

 

[shkhln]

But as I said, mounting fdescfs at /dev/fd

I believe that is the part of the default setup. Isn't it?

because I don't need to mount anything at /compat/linux subdirectories.

Right now fcdm-jail mounts whatever it needs as necessary. I make no promise fcdm would do so in the future.

 

[Oleg_NYC]

I believe that is the part of the default setup. Isn't it?

It wasn't part of my default setup... So, you wrote code for foreign-cdm? Thanks for the great work!

 

[julien40]

Hi, I'm using the "latest" packages version under freebsd 14.0 amd64.
I have to use and lock the foreign-cdm-3 version otherwise the other versions don't work when I use Netflix.

Versions that don't work:
foreign-cdm-20231203
foreign-cdm-20231217_3

Is there anything more to do with the new versions ?

 

[elgrande]

Info: Spotify still works with the latest version, so we obviously have no general problem.

 

[julien40]

I did a pkg upgrade on foreign-cdm-3 and upgraded to foreign-cdm-20231217_3 and now no errors.
Everything works again. I didn't understand what happened when I got the error on Netflix...
Thank you for writing this program.

I have a strange issue which started today:
Spotify can only play ~20% of the songs, the majority is skipped with a message "cannot be played at the moment".
I reinstalled everything required and rebooted, but still the same behavior.
Any ideas?

Hi Mate, i also noticed widevine has stopped working
doesnt work at all with channel 4 or it in the uk sice yesterday

 

[Waldow]

I don't know for Spotify, but drm widevine in google-chrome-stable_116.0.5845.179-1 is too old for Netflix;
edit Makefile:

CHROME_VERSION= 121.0.6167.85-1

edit distinfo:

SHA256 (google-chrome-stable_121.0.6167.85-1_amd64.deb) = f6f3d002264fc3ad2820b9b41dee08cfd94e73e5afb4708113d0870357a373bb
SIZE (google-chrome-stable_121.0.6167.85-1_amd64.deb) = 106421968

rebuild and reinstall linux-widevine-cdm.

I haven't bothered with the widevine install, I'm not a great fan of Spotify's player anyway. I've been using audio/ncspot instead. As long as the encoding is installed correctly, works fine for me.

 

[Oleg_NYC]

This port https://www.freshports.org/www/linux-widevine-cdm was updated today, so everything is fine now.

Installed the update, now Spotify is behaving funny:
It tells me "cannot play this song" but it plays it anyhow...

 

[elgrande]

Aaaand...
The error is back, only 20% of the Spotify songs are playable. That only some of the songs are playable seems very strange to me. I'd expect all or nothing...

i just rebuilt linux-widevine-cdm with poudriere and everything is now working again

tested itv and channel 4 and both work

There were 2 bugs fixed recently, one fix is not yet in the ports even.

It looks like both fixes are in the ports tree now; I no longer have the need to mount fdescfs.

Followed the method used in the original post to allow Udemy course videos to play. On their website some lesson videos, but not all, seem to require widevine in order to load and play properly.
The steps in this post were able to solve the issue of lesson videos spinning indefinitely and not loading. So if some of your udemy lessons are loading while others are not, it could be related to this issue.

FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p2
Chromium version: 120.0.6099.224
Foreign-cdm version: 20231217_3

Edit: Just tried Amazon Prime Video, don't know if it required widevine still, but the shows played perfectly.

(It's debatable whether that's a good or bad thing

It's a good thing.
