This package conflicts with google-chrome. Why don't you add conflict packages in PKGBUILD?

sl1pkn07, does chromium-dev use a command line switch for widevine now? With a separate download available, including a manifest.json, I'm wondering if they're going to handle it like they do the ppapi flash plugin. If they are, we can get support added to the wrapper and combine most/all of the widevine packages.

Scimmia: Ah, I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing that out.

seems widevine provided by chromium dev channel is the same └───╼ sha256sum /usr/lib/chromium{,-dev}/libwidevinecdm.so b713d924f429bbee515d9f8b837e83422f1d95fb619e9325ec6d30bf5fb8710f /usr/lib/chromium/libwidevinecdm.so b713d924f429bbee515d9f8b837e83422f1d95fb619e9325ec6d30bf5fb8710f /usr/lib/chromium-dev/libwidevinecdm.so can you add support to chromium-dev too?

I've just switched this to a direct download of the plugin only, so the current version is available for i686 again.

aoz, that download didn't exist until recently. Notice that the gist you linked to just switched to it 15 days ago. Edit: or rather I should say I wasn't aware of that download, it could have existed and nobody was aware.

@aoz, this package was just a "quick and dirty hack". It is based on Scimmias package for chromium-widevine, which uses the approach for as long as I can remember. Actually I wasn't aware of a standalone widevine download page. Thanks for that. I'll try to rewrite the PKGBUILD as soon as possible, but please don't expect any near-time solution, as I'm currently writing my master's thesis, which has a marginally higher priority ;-)

Why doesn't this package just download the most recent widevine binaries from google like https://gist.github.com/ruario/3c873d43eb20553d5014bd4d29fe37f1 does?

The source has to be updated because the old source isn't available anymore. Same plugin, same resulting package, no pkgver or pkgrel bump. This isn't a "point of view" this is standard packaging.

@Scimmia, I understand what you mean, but I don't completely share your point of view. According to the changelog available at https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=vivaldi-widevine&id=3bc1c57b1c92d4c546f2f1b552646353955b1a1e , the google-chrome-stable source package was updated from version '59.0.3071.86-1' to '59.0.3071.104-1'. It could be the case in which both sources contain the same version of the widevine plugin. If this is the case, either there was no need of updating the source or the release version of vivaldi-widevine should have been bumped. To my knowledge, making changes in a package and keeping the same version, even if the resultant binary is the same, is a bad practice.
