Describe the bug

I simply updated widevine and wanted to start a stream. Since this update it fails - I am not sure if the update broke the inputstream.
I tried to re-login, which suceeded, but did not help to start streams.
Several reboots / restarts did not help.

I checked the filesystem if the in the error log listed files exist:

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/cdm # ll

drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root          1024 May  8 20:37 .

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/cdm # pwd
/storage/.kodi/cdm
LibreELEC:~/.kodi/cdm #

I found one possible problem, because the inputstream.adaptive directory does not exist in the expected path:

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/cdm # ll /usr/lib/kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive/
ls: /usr/lib/kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive/: No such file or directory
LibreELEC:~/.kodi/cdm # find / -name inputstream.adaptive
/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/inputstream.adaptive
/storage/.kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive

symlinking /storage/.kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive to /usr/lib/kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive/ is not possible, because / is mounted ro in libreelec.

Any Ideas how to the addon work again?

Not sure if this is the same error or not, but for me it also stopped working after the latest widevine update. The relevant error message on my side is:

2021-05-09 14:55:03.010 T:1915769776  NOTICE: VideoPlayer::OpenFile: plugin://plugin.video.amazon-test/?asin=B00HNGBGBQ&mode=PlayVideo&adult=0&name=4+-+Fry+and+the+Slurm+Factory&trailer=0&selbitrate=0

This error seems different than above, except for the: ERROR: AddOnLog: InputStream Adaptive: Unable to load widevine shared library (/home/osmc/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so) part of the message.

The libwidevinecdm file does exists:

$ ls -alhtr .kodi/cdm/
total 8.8M
-rwxr--r-- 4 osmc osmc 8.5M May  9 14:52 libwidevinecdm.so
-rw-r--r-- 3 osmc osmc 245K May  9 14:52 recovery.json

drwxr-xr-x 3 osmc osmc 4.0K May  9 14:52 widevine
drwxr-xr-x 3 osmc osmc 4.0K May  9 14:52 .

I did force a reinstall of widevine by moving that file, but that did not resolve the issue.

Downgrading worked for me. Thanks. Hopefully next widevine update will work again.

[mirh]

I would guess this is fixed now?

[BlackEdder]

I would guess this is fixed now?

For me it has been solved.

I would guess this is fixed now?

For me it has been solved.

So we should close this
