Would KODI being able to have a DRM Helper add-on in it's official repo?
It wouldn't contain the actual widevine files, but have the ability to download them and install them for the user.

It pretty much does all the steps @natethomas mentioned.

I have an add-on that does this in my own repo
https://github.com/matthuisman/kodi-repo...-0.0.5.zip

And also @glennguy (my inspiration) does as well:
https://github.com/xbmc-catchuptv-au/scr....drmhelper

The add-on needs to do a few things

1) Check and enable / install the inpustream add-on
If not Android:
2) Check for ssd_wv and copy it do CDM folder
3) If not present, then download it
4) Download widevine and install in CDM folder

I'm sure @glennguy and myself would be happy to have a hand in making an official helper add-on.

The hardest part I find currently is matching a ssd_wv with correct version of inpustream.
Which makes it tricky to host these and make sure correct version is downloaded for the matching version of inputstream.
So possibly KODI could host these somewhere with names like 2.0.7-ssd_wv.dll where 2.0.7 is the matching version of inputstream.
It looks like newer version of inpustream always include the decrypter, but is this so for eg Ubuntu PPA etc?

Also, any progress on getting inpustream to work in Windows Store version?
I think something to do with the sandbox stopped it working.

Oh, and is HLS support only in 18? Or is it in 17.4?

PS: my phone's Android audio issue was my rom in the end!
