[Software] Debian 10.13 + chromium + open.spotify.com = "Playback of protected content is not enabled"

[dborghi]

Hi all,
i am new in Debian.
In my old Samsung N130 i installed Debian 10.13 (32bit); i would like to use this netbook only to surf the net, possibly while i listen to the music on Spotify.
But when i go on spotify by chromium (opn.spotify.com) i obtain "Playback of protected content is not enabled".
i read online that i must enable DRM, but in chrome://settings/content/protectedContent the flag is on.
Is there anybody could help me in a simple simple way?
Thank you

It looks like Google dropped support for DRM in 32bit back in '21.

This script mentions the last 32bit version of the widevine plugin, but the link seems to be dead.

I found the file mentioned here:

https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... owser_Repo

Perhaps try adding it thus:

Extract the archive and look in

Code: Select all

chromium-widevine-plugin-48.0.2564.97-i386-1alien/usr/lib/chromium/

Copy the plugin to where it needs to be

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libwidevinecdm.so

I have no idea if this will work/be secure/be accepted by Spotify, but could be worth a try.
