Chromium Dev branch
PPA description
This PPA contains the latest Chromium Dev builds, with hardware video decoding enabled (hidden behind a flag) and support for Widevine (needed for viewing paid videos on Netflix and Youtube) enabled.
=== Widevine Support ===
The packages in this PPA have support for Widevine inside Chromium enabled. However, you still need to copy some files from Chrome into Chromium for you to use Netflix (or other websites using EME) in Chromium.
1. Download and install Chrome (or extract the necessary files, if you know how to do that).
2. From the Chrome installation directory (probably /opt/google/chome or something similar), copy libwidevinecdm.so and libwidevinecdma
3. Restart Chromium.
4. Go to chrome://plugins, and verify that the Widevine plugin is listed there.
=== API Key ====
Some Chromium features, including Sync, require an API key, which is not included with the packages below. To use these features, please follow the 11 steps at http://
export GOOGLE_
export GOOGLE_
export GOOGLE_
Replace what is in the quotes (after the '=' sign in each line) with the appropriate value. You will need to log off and log back on (or restart if you prefer) for Chromium to use the keys.
=== NPAPI Plugins ===
Chromium Aura drops support for NPAPI plugins. This means that you cannot use the standard Flash (Flash 11.2) available through the main repo. Instead, you can just install pepperflashplug
