JxBrowser 8.9.0

Widevine

Widevine is a technology that allows companies to distribute DRM-encoded content. JxBrowser supports it since version 7.4 on Windows and macOS.

In this release, we’re extending the Widevine support to Linux, and introduce the new API to manage it.

Previously, Widevine was automatically activated on the Engine start. Now, you need to activate it manually:

var options = EngineOptions.newBuilder(HARDWARE_ACCELERATED);
if (isLinux()) {
        // On Linux, Widevine requires a custom user data directory.
        options.userDataDir(Paths.get("path/to/user/data/dir"));
        }
var engine = Engine.newInstance(options.build());
var widevine = engine.widevine();

// Activate Widevine and update to the latest available version.
var status = engine.widevine().activate().join();
if (status == WidevineActivationStatus.RESTART_REQUIRED) {
        // On Linux, you will need to restart the engine after 
        // the first activation.
        engine.close();
engine = Engine.newInstance(options);
}
