Click on "Autofill and passwords" in Preferences. You will get :I have to save passwords?
That's good news! Will you post here when it's ready? Presumably I will have to rerun the downloader.It is a Widevine upgrade. I think Firefox is still able to use an earlier version of Widevine at the moment, possibly not in the future.
[BUG] Cannot play DRM-protected content even after installing Widevine on OS X 10.9.5 (DRM_MEDIA_KEY_INITIALIZATION_FAILED) · Issue #165 · blueboxd/chromium-legacy
I used a downloader by @Wowfunhappy to install Chromium Legacy on OS X 10.9.5, I choosed to patch DRM Widevine libraries, and Netflix or other DRM-protected content don't work, on https://bitmovin....github.com
The very good news is blueboxd apparently found a fix which is forthcoming.
That's good for Netflix (which still works in Firefox), but doesn't help with ITV or Channel 4 unfortunately .The good news with Netflix is that Silverlight 5 still works with Safari 9, which is amazing, but who knows how long that will work though! It hasn't been updated in years, but it's on my FTP at https://sdfox7.com/macppc/macintel/Silverlight.dmg

Nope, haven't heard anything from Bluebox as of yet, sorry!Any news on the fix?.
Oh well, for some odd reason, Firefox still runs those live video streams (the widevine components are dated December 2022 and added in March 2023, long after support for FF 78 ESR was supposed to end. I see that the widevine components in Chromium are dated 18 August - maybe I should try the video streams again, as they might work now?Nope, haven't heard anything from Bluebox as of yet, sorry!
YAY. At first it didn't work, so for once I downloaded the Canary build instead and that is playing ITV! Many thanks to all concerned.Good news for people who were waiting, Widevine should be fixed as of now. Please redownload the PrefPane from the normal link and uninstall the old version before installing the new one.
Also, Widevine will newly work on 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Should work in stable, but the build may be cached (that's why I recommended using the PrefPane uninstaller). If you deleteYAY. At first it didn't work, so for once I downloaded the Canary build instead and that is playing ITV! Many thanks to all concerned.
Library/Application Support/Chromium Legacy Downloader

If you delete Library/Application Support/Chromium Legacy Downloader and then download the stable build, I suspect it will work.
If you go back to the first page of this topic, you will see a link to the Chromium Updater Preference Pane - if you download the latest version of that, it will add the updater to your System Preferences. Click the pane there to launch it, wait a few seconds, then choose which version to update to (probably stable builds are best). You can also select to have the Preference Pane update Chromium automatically.Hi!
Found an updater for chromium legacy on github: https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-updater but there is no explanation about that. How can use it or how can install it and where? Any help would be appreciated.
I suppose that that version is another downloader and updater.

I don't know. This version of Chromium is a github project, but the Preference Pane updater in this topic has always been the way that people can get the latest github version, which is created by BlueBox : so don't worry, it's not a different version of Chromium.I suppose that that version is another downloader and updater.

Ok, thanks anyway. May be using none of them is better option. Too complicating to install every weeks or months a browser or updater...I don't know.

No, you don't seem to understand. Installing the Preference Pane updater means you DON'T have to keep installing the latest version of the browser - the Updater does it for you.Ok, thanks anyway.

You should report this on Github!I've had to revert to the previous stable build (118) as the latest gives me a horrible white band across the top of streaming video when full screen. (It's not a widevine issue as the band is also there in BBC iPlayer which doesn't use it.)
Can I just bob in and make a comment or do I have to go through the pain of registration? Do you have a link to the actual Chromium project?You should report this on Github!
