Does this happen when you try installing glibc-widevine? You shouldn’t remove the old glibc, just replace with this one. glibc-widevine states it provides glibc, so it should count as just an update to glibc.
Yes on the pamac addon manager it fails and will not let you continue. However if you clone the file directly from AUR and manually build the package, it works fine.
Okay, so no AUR helpers will install this, but manually works.
Second day running it and now widevine plugin has encountered issues running. Has anyone else got this error?
::Latest update had fixed the issue. No longer a problem currently.
Looks like widevine-aarch64 been removed from the AUR repo. Is there an alternative to get widevine to work on arm?
It appears you can still clone the git pkg via terminal even though they had removed it from the website. It appears to be working…for now.
This is really silly: The package got removed because it is ARM-only, so the AUR people think it belongs into Arch Linux ARM, but how is Arch Linux ARM supposed to carry this package? It is not redistributable. Shipping the PKGBUILD in something like AUR is the only legal way to distribute this blob. Do they expect Arch Linux ARM to come up with their own AUR? Or to illegally redistribute the binary package? There ought to be a place for problematic packages like this.
UPDATE: FYI: Playing DRM content like Netflix (widevine-aarch64 seems not available) [forum.pine64.org]:
