Requirements

• Working WVD
• Server with pywidevine installed

Guide

1. Open Python shell and run the following script on your terminal to check the system ID of your WVD

   python3
   from pywidevine.device import Device
   Device.load("/path/to/FILENAME.wvd").system_id
   

2. Go to following website to create a 32-character API key

   https://bitwarden.com/password-generator/

   Characters: 32

   • A-Z
   • a-z
   • 0-9
   • !@#$%^&*

3. Create serve.yml according to the following format

   devices:
     - '/path/to/FILENAME.wvd'
   
   users:
     APIKEY:
       username: jane
       devices:
         - FILENAME
   
   force_privacy_mode: false
   

4. Start the server by run the following command on your terminal

   pywidevine serve /path/to/serve.yml
   

5. Create remote.json according to the following format

   {
       "device_type":"ANDROID",
       "system_id":SYSTEMID,
       "security_level":3,
       "host":"https://YOURSERVER:PORT",
       "secret":"APIKEY",
       "device_name":"FILENAME"
   }
   

Check lists

• Replaced FILENAME, APIKEY, FILENAME, SYSTEMID, and YOURSERVER:PORT in the serve.yml and remote.json
• Checked to see if quoting was required for the replaced location (WRITE QUOTE where quotes are originally present, BUT NOT elsewhere)
• FILENAME must not include the file extension
