This webpage shows no drm support in kiwi browser:https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm

On ungoogled-chromium this is already implemented. I think it's a library using the PPAPI

I wrote to Google about that today. I got a reply they are still "investigating" if it's possible (of course it is).

I will push them again in about a week.

Thans for investigation. Is it needed to contact googled? Ungoogled-chromium for android already has this feature implemented. Or is it a license issue?

Absolutely licensing issue, to integrate Widevine proprietary components you need approval and license (from a both paper and technical perspective).

I saw the workaround you have shown at ungoogled-chromium, it may work, and may be a last resort solution (but not-bundled officially within Kiwi).

Any response by google so far?

Google answered today. The last version should have functional Widevine (you need to accept protected content permission prompt)
