WIDEVINE

DRM playback via www/linux-widevine-cdm (Netflix etc.)

USES: cpe desktop-file-utils gnome linux:rl9 shebangfix
Service scripts: none

Message after installing

www/linux-brave runs under the Linuxulator (linux_base-rl9):

  sysrc linux_enable=YES
  service linux start

For DRM sites such as Netflix, install www/linux-widevine-cdm from
the ports tree (Google's license does not permit distributing it as
a package):

  make -C /usr/ports/www/linux-widevine-cdm install clean

With the default WIDEVINE option, no further setup is needed: DRM
playback works as soon as the CDM is installed.

For hardware acceleration, install the Linux Mesa DRI drivers and
the Linux Vulkan loader:

  pkg install linux-rl9-dri linux-rl9-vulkan

With both present and a writable DRM render node, the wrapper
renders via ANGLE-on-Vulkan, the preferred path; the Mesa GL path
is prone to GPU hangs on some hardware.  Without a hardware Vulkan
driver the wrapper falls back to GL, and without a render node or
DRI drivers to software rendering.  BRAVE_GPU=0 forces software
rendering; BRAVE_VULKAN=0 stays on GL.

www/linux-brave: DRM out of the box, GPU auto-detection

Add a WIDEVINE option (default on) so DRM playback works with no browser-side setup once the CDM is present. The option links ${PREFIX}/lib/WidevineCdm into the Brave install directory, where the component updater discovers it as a preinstalled component, and runs a pre-launch seed script that sets brave.widevine_opted_in and maintains the Widevine component hint file: Chromium registers the CDM at startup from the hint and never repairs it itself, so the script plants the hint before the first launch and repoints it when its target no longer holds a CDM (e.g. after the CDM port is reinstalled), while leaving intact hints -- including one naming a newer component-updated CDM -- alone. The option adds no dependency: Google's license permits fetching the …
