remove old aarch64 CDM workarounds - #2106
Conversation
The workarounds were needed to use the ChromeOS library on Linux and are no longer required with the current, native Linux version. Signed-off-by: Matthias Reichl <hias@horus.com>

I've switched this PR to draft as I just ran into an issue with the ORF On addon and merging this PR would prevent aarch64 Linux users switching back to older CDM versions. Best to wait with the removal until the x86_64/aarch64 Linux CDM issue is fully understood and resolved |

i see that the new ISH has been released do you think we should wait more time? or let's merge the PR? |

The kodi repo PR hasn't been merged yet: xbmc/repo-scripts#2885 Might be best to wait a bit (2-3 weeks or so) after ISH has been added to kodi repos and keeping an eye on widevine issues during this time. I've only tested with the ORF On addon (that's the only kodi addon requiring widevine that I use) so can't tell at all if the new CDM might cause similar issues with other addons. The ORF On issue isn't a blocker for this PR (sure it will be resolved soon, and there's a workaround) so I'd say it's your call when to merge. |

No problem let's wait a little longer |
