Comment (by cehoyos):
Widevine consists of a dll that the demuxer (or protocol) has to use to
get an unencrypted stream (afaict).
There are probably three ways to implement this:
Use Samsung's FFmpeg patch to allow libavformat to use (an old version?)
of the library. This may be a violation of FFmpeg (and Samsung) copyright,
I don't know where the source code could be found and the patch may not
work with current Widevine.
Write a new wrapper: I don't think you would be allowed to distribute the
resulting FFmpeg binary.
Reverse engineer Widevine: This is ok from FFmpeg pov, but may get the
developer into trouble.
I would tend to close this ticket as wontfix but since recently a similar
ticket was reopened, we can also leave the enhancement request open.
