[Interest] Do I need widevinecdmadapter.so to watch Netflix, Prime etc.?

[Jan Neumann]

Hi,

I am on Archlinux. 
We have packages in AUR which should provide widevine, one of them especially 
for [qt5-webengine](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt5-webengine-widevine/).
Generally they get the [widevine component](https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/1.4.8.1008-linux-x64.zip) and copy the content (libwidevinecdm.so) to /
usr/lib/chromium. So far so good...
If i have chromium installed alongside e.g. Qupzilla i can watch netflix with 
qupzilla very well. but if i remove chromium i ran in issues: widevine-
component not found. 
So, with removing chromium i also remove libwidevinecdm**adapter**.so from /
usr/lib/chromium.
I searched the web and contacted the maintainer, but no clear statement. 
I guess qt5-webengine needs both **libwidevinecdmadapter.so and 
libwidevinecdm.so** to work properly. 

Can someone of the devs please confirm...
