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.
--Thanks for the info and update bugman.

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

Youtube videos work perfectly for me,

What steps did you try to troubleshoot your issue(s) with youtube ??

Can you link to one or more of the actual videos that does not work for you ??
