Porting QTWebflix(Netflix app) to Ubuntu touch?
-
hello everyone, I recebtly stumbled across this project named QTWebflix.
it allows you to watch netflix and other streaming services on Linux.
it seems to be viable for Ubuntu touch, it uses Qt+QtWebengine and qmake.I was planning on porting it myself but I have no idea where to start, is there a guide somewhere on how to build Qt+qmake applications to Ubuntu touch?
any help is greatly appriciated

Hello,
I'd say, have a look at clickable it makes compilation for UT easier.
You can check those links, it might help or point in the right direction :http://clickable.bhdouglass.com/en/latest/install.html

@AppLee ah thanks! I will have a look at those!

Your core problem here is, and will remain, the fact that there is no generally available build of Widevine plug-in for ARM. The only way to get Widevine on ARM is from the ChromeOS image, which is a 2+GB download from which you need to extract a single tiny binary file.
It is not legal to redistribute the Widevine plug-in yourself, either.

@dobey there seems to be a pre-compiled version of widevine-chromium for the raspberry pi. would it be legal to use the widevine from that or is that being illegally hosted?
-
@ComLarsic I would expect if that does have widevine it is indeed not usable, given it's not from https://www.widevine.com/
Also those are really old builds of chromium (which itself doesn't come with widevine anyway, so that's confusing too).Basically, if it was acceptable to distribute the Widevine plug-in in this manner, then we'd already have it anyway, because Qt/Debian/Ubuntu/etc… would provide it too.

I'd still take it even if the user has to manually download and extract the needed . It's better than nothing
Marius teased netfilx on Morph though. Maybe he knows something

Marius teased netfilx on Morph though. Maybe he knows somethingManjaro has a special Docker container for it. I don't think this will work on older Android Linux Kernels, but a similar container like Libertine might be possible to build.

@comlarsic A very cool idea!
Kodi plugins work in Python, you can take authorization algorithms and program work from them

You can use the Morph browser component to play the video.
You can see how this is implemented by me

The video player code itself is here https://github.com/pavelprosto94/uvideo/blob/main/src/index.html
