Bug Description

Package name: widevineplugin-nonfree
URL: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/widevine
License: proprietary non-free

Widevine is a plugin for viewing premium videos. It is used by providers such as Netflix.

Chromium is now able to use the Widevine plugin if libwidevinecdmadapter.so and libwidevinecdm.so are available. It will automatically find the files if Google Chrome is installed. It would be nice to have a package like pepperflashplugin-nonfree, which has a script to automatically extract the files and install them to the right place.
