WidevineProxy2 not functions as expected

[blanc]

Hi,

I just installed WidevineProxy2 addon for Firefox and have some questions on how to use it.

1. What’s the difference between Widevine Device and Remote CDM?

2. I downloaded remote.json from https://github.com/user-attachments/files/21834836/remote.json
and registered it in WidevineProxy2 but when I played the test video at https://github.com/DevLARLEY/WidevineProxy2/tree/5ab84cc68a389db1a6e74135c702a8b6ade7eded WidevineProxy2 didn’t respond accordingly.

3. Are there any difference for conventional usage among all the files at https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/413719-Ready-to-use-CDMs-available-here%21? Why is it called Android Studio? Does it matter for Windows usage?

Hi,

Widevine Device (.wvd) is a CDM on your computer, which you can download from the "Ready-to-use-CDM" link. Remote CDM means it's not on your device and hosted online so you would provide a URL for that instead.

2. I downloaded remote.json from https://github.com/user-attachments/files/21834836/remote.json
and registered it in WidevineProxy2 but when I played the test video at https://github.com/DevLARLEY/WidevineProxy2/tree/5ab84cc68a389db1a6e74135c702a8b6ade7eded WidevineProxy2 didn’t respond accordingly.

You should download some CDM's from the "Ready-to-use-CDM" link and select/load one of them from WidevineProxy2, most websites will work then.

3. Are there any difference for conventional usage among all the files at https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/413719-Ready-to-use-CDMs-available-here%21? Why is it called Android Studio? Does it matter for Windows usage?

For conventional usage... no... just download some of them and load 1 in the extension and you'll be good to go.

Android studio means it was extracted from an android ROM in android studio (emulated).

Thanks. WidevineProxy2 accepts only two types of files: wvd file for Widevine Device and json file for Remote CDM, but there are two files in one zip file: client_id and private_key.pem. How to use these files at https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/413719-Ready-to-use-CDMs-available-here%21?

This one has lots of WVD's.

Just select "choose file" in the extension and load a wvd. If one doesn't work, try a different one. With most free services they will work, but they might not work for premium like AMZN/NFX.
