Unfortunately, and believe me when I say this, but I give up from Iron. So much problems in the last versions. Maybe try again in future, for now Firefox is serving me very well.

Comment #16 on issue 429452 by fabian.r...@gmail.com: Purchased youtube video plays in chrome but not in chromium (correct .gyp settings & identical version)
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issu ... ?id=429452

I am the original person filing the bug: I've fixed it in the mean time. It's just a few gyp flag changes and simple modifications to the gyp files. It will take some time until I can post a clean diff but here are the things I remember:

1) build with the following gyp flags:
ffmpeg_branding='Chrome', proprietary_codecs=1, enable_pepper_cdms=1, enable_webrtc=1

2) Uncomment the version number and strings in src/third_party/widevine/cdm/widevine_cdm_common.h and change it to which ever binary version you have available. I installed the vanilla google-chrome debian package from Google and used the version string and number found in chrome://plugins/

3) in the same folder modify widevine_cdm.gyp. Change 'branding == "Chrome"' to 'branding == "Chromium" in line 10 and 88 (not sure if this is really necessary)

4) When compiling Chromium it will complain about a missing widevine binaries folder (can't remember where it was meant to be located). Create it and copy the binaries over from chrome. It will also complain about missing widevine_cdm_version.h and/or widevine_cdm_common.h. Just copy widevine_cdm_common.h you edited above to the location expected by the build system.

5) after building, test by watching purchased video on youtube and/or netflix. If we are packaging this as open source (for debian for example), remove the widevine binaries from the out/Release folder and create another non-free package just for the widevine binaries as is being done for pepperflash.

I'm sorry for not providing a patch for this but I am travelling on a netbook with limited resources and creating a patch and testing it would take weeks of compiling.

Hope this helps!
I hope this further information can provide some useful insights in the future on further discussions of widevine and any possible forks.

I recently installed SRWare Iron which I had not tried for a long time. I can see the three horizontal bars (Control and customization icon) at the upper right, but i there also supposed to be a wrench icon?

And is there a way to change the view to no style as in Firefox??

No, because http://www.srware.net/downloads/srware_iron.exe is always the latest version.
Try it: Old Iron versions - official archive - here!

Forget to mention that each time yt page crashes with "snap, page has crached" (tryed clean install & upgrade)), thus it is unusable.

Wow, can't say how pleased I am with this version, it's been two days and it hasn't crashed once, I'm sure my blood pressure is down.

What a great christmas present

For those still having problems, so sorry, I feel your pain

treato.com seems to load fine for me, fwiw

Just updated from version 35 & have encountered a couple of issue(s)

1. Lost all open tabs, as it defaulted to (Open a specific page or set of pages) instead of keeping my preferred choice of (Continue where I left off)

2. All my extensions have been deleted, including adblockerplus

Can you advise how I get these back ??

So far I have lost a bit of faith in SRWare Iron, since these basic issue(s) should not be present, since latest versions of Google Chrome keeps these settings
