I am trying to enable Widevine inside Chromium in order to play video from source like Netflix.

Recompiling Chromium is not really an option since I use Qt new browser that uses Chromium. I'm trying to find a way to ship the plugin with my application, so that Chromium loads it by default.

    • This [might have been fixed](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-50132) very recently for QtWebEngine 5.7. You could wait for the 5.7 beta release to test it, or you could download their 5.7 git branch and compile it if you don't want to wait to find out. – Ryan Apr 09 '16 at 07:07

    As discussed in https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=429452, you really need to rebuild Chromium to be able to use the CDM.
