Ask HN: Has anyone completed a license agreement with Google Widevine?

1 pointsby smaddockabout 6 years ago
I&#x27;m building my own Chromium-based browser with Electron [1] and I&#x27;d like to be able to support DRM-enabled content like Netflix.<p>In order to do so, the browser must support Verified Media Path (VMP) to verify the authenticity of the device platform. And to support VMP, a license agreement (LA) with Widevine must be completed. [2]<p>Contacting Widevine has been... difficult, with no response after 3 months. I know there have been a few others with similar experiences. [3]<p>Has anyone been able to complete a LA with Widevine? What was your experience like?<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;samuelmaddock&#x2F;metastream [2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;castlabs&#x2F;electron-releases#licensing [3] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;electron&#x2F;electron&#x2F;issues&#x2F;12427
