-# Testing Widevine CDM
-
-In Electron you can use the Widevine CDM library shipped with Chrome browser.
-
-Widevine Content Decryption Modules (CDMs) are how streaming services protect
-content using HTML5 video to web browsers without relying on an NPAPI plugin
-like Flash or Silverlight. Widevine support is an alternative solution for
-streaming services that currently rely on Silverlight for playback of
-DRM-protected video content. It will allow websites to show DRM-protected video
-content in Firefox without the use of NPAPI plugins. The Widevine CDM runs in an
-open-source CDM sandbox providing better user security than NPAPI plugins.
-
-#### Note on VMP
-
-As of [`Electron v1.8.0 (Chrome v59)`](https://electronjs.org/releases#1.8.1),
-the below steps are may only be some of the necessary steps to enable Widevine;
-any app on or after that version intending to use the Widevine CDM may need to
-be signed using a license obtained from [Widevine](https://www.widevine.com/)
-itself.
-
-Per [Widevine](https://www.widevine.com/):
-
-> Chrome 59 (and later) includes support for Verified Media Path (VMP). VMP
-> provides a method to verify the authenticity of a device platform. For browser
-> deployments, this will provide an additional signal to determine if a
-> browser-based implementation is reliable and secure.
->
-> The proxy integration guide has been updated with information about VMP and
-> how to issue licenses.
->
-> Widevine recommends our browser-based integrations (vendors and browser-based
-> applications) add support for VMP.
-
-To enable video playback with this new restriction,
-[castLabs](https://castlabs.com/open-source/downstream/) has created a
-[fork](https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases) that has implemented the
-necessary changes to enable Widevine to be played in an Electron application if
-one has obtained the necessary licenses from widevine.
-
-## Getting the library
-
-Open `chrome://components/` in Chrome browser, find `Widevine Content Decryption Module`
-and make sure it is up to date, then you can find the library files from the
-application directory.
-
-### On Windows
-
-The library file `widevinecdm.dll` will be under
-`Program Files(x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/CHROME_VERSION/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/win_(x86|x64)/`
-directory.
-
-### On macOS
-
-The library file `libwidevinecdm.dylib` will be under
-`/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/CHROME_VERSION/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/mac_(x86|x64)/`
-directory.
-
-**Note:** Make sure that chrome version used by Electron is greater than or
-equal to the `min_chrome_version` value of Chrome's widevine cdm component.
-The value can be found in `manifest.json` under `WidevineCdm` directory.
-
-## Using the library
-
-After getting the library files, you should pass the path to the file
-with `--widevine-cdm-path` command line switch, and the library's version
-with `--widevine-cdm-version` switch. The command line switches have to be
-passed before the `ready` event of `app` module gets emitted.
-
-Example code:
-
-```javascript
-const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
-
-// You have to pass the directory that contains widevine library here, it is
-// * `libwidevinecdm.dylib` on macOS,
-// * `widevinecdm.dll` on Windows.
-app.commandLine.appendSwitch('widevine-cdm-path', '/path/to/widevine_library')
-// The version of plugin can be got from `chrome://components` page in Chrome.
-app.commandLine.appendSwitch('widevine-cdm-version', '1.4.8.866')
-
-let win = null
-app.whenReady().then(() => {
-  win = new BrowserWindow()
-  win.show()
-})
-```
-
-## Verifying Widevine CDM support
-
-To verify whether widevine works, you can use following ways:
-
-* Open https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/ and load a manifest that uses
-`Widevine`.
-* Open http://www.dash-player.com/demo/drm-test-area/, check whether the page
-says `bitdash uses Widevine in your browser`, then play the video.
