Ask HN: Has anyone completed a license agreement with Google Widevine?
I'm building my own Chromium-based browser with Electron [1] and I'd like to be able to support DRM-enabled content like Netflix.
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]
Contacting Widevine has been... difficult, with no response after 3 months. I know there have been a few others with similar experiences. [3]
Has anyone been able to complete a LA with Widevine? What was your experience like?
