ungoogled-chromium-archlinux VS chromium-widevine

There is a working patch for 103 now.

You can build Ungoogled Chromium from the AUR or get a binary through the OBS repository by following the steps here

I've never run into any codec issue using either the AUR version or the one compiled by GitHub Actions or OBS which are all linked here. If you have a problem with those please open an issue and I'll look into it

In this case, there are repos with precompiled binaries for Ungoogled Chromium, like the Chaotic AUR and OBS: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux/releases

I assume you're using Manjaro, so it should be in the AUR, or you can get a custom repo with prebuilt binaries here.

There was a recent update to the flags in makepkg.conf that cause build failures: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux/issues/123

Prebuilt Arch binaries exist here: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux#ungoogled-chromium-archlinux

Or, just download binaries that are approved by the source

You need to install chromium-widevine.

git clone https://github.com/proprietary/chromium-widevine.git && \ cd chromium-widevine && \ ./use-from-google-chrome.sh Then restart Chromium

Quite sure it is a drm issue. You can try this

The Widevine library needs to be present as part of the install of your browser that is able to interpret this encrypted video. Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Safari, Edge etc all ship with Widevine pre-installed. But, Chromium builds are not allowed to distribute the Widevine library because of licensing. So, to get around this, we install Chromium and move over the Widevine library from Chrome to Chromium in order to be able to stream these DRM-protected media services.
