Spotify on WebEngineView
-
Hi everyone,
I'm using Qt 5.12.5 WebEngineView which contains Chromium 69 and I need to use https://play.spotify.com/ but as you know, I need a DRM like Widevine installed.
I checked a little bit but I do not have /usr/lib/qt5 folder, my Qt installation is in /opt/Qt and how can I install Widevine in WebEngine's Chromium?
Thank you.

I do not have plugins/ppapi folder..
You can create the folder.
Look at the other Qt plugins on your system to get an idea.

I created ppapi folder in /opt/Qt/5.12.5/gcc_64/plugins and found exact same version of Chrome's libwidevinecdm.so and copied it.
But, still no Widevine found?
Thank you for your help.

The article says you must build Qt WebEngine from source code. When configuring the build, you must enable proprietary codecs. Have you done that yet?
See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-platform-notes.html to get started.

I have Device Creation license in this installation, do I need to separately build qtwebengine and replace it in my installation?

@Ethel-harper help me
@Ethel-harper hi and welcome to devnet,
You might want to check this project for chromium itself. It might give you some hints that might work with QtWebEngine. Note that I have not tested it at all.
