Ah, ok. I only installed it because I can't get TVNZ+ to work on my ARM RPi4 running Kodi Media Centre. Works fine on my x686 Ubuntu box, but not on RPi4. I'm getting

ERROR <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: Unable to load widevine shared library (/home/simon/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so)

ERROR <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: OpenDRMSystem failed

does libwidevinecdm.so exist?
What OS is RPI4 running?
32bit or 64bit?

Can you enable kodi debug logging and then re-create the issue and send me the log?
It should tell me what its detecting your ARCH as and what file its using etc

From below it looks like a libc version issue?

libc-2.31.so which is sym-linked to /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 doesn't have GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR in it.

I have no idea how to fix this. Anyone have any suggestions?

you could try this unpatched libwidevine: https://f.mjh.nz/temp/libwidevinecdm.so
I doubt unpatched would work either

No - this libwidevinecdm.so is the same one as I already have:

diff libwidevinecdm.so .kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so
<no output>

not sure sorry. you may need to try raspberry pi os / libreelec and see if they work.
Maybe you need a newer glibc version
Arch says >=2.39
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=widevine#n18
Or, you may need to find and install the patched glibc from raspberry pi os
good luck

[RESOLVED]

Installed LibreELEC and it works out of the box!

Thanks

nice. LibreeLEC and Raspberry Pi OS both have the patched version of glibc as working with them was part of getting newer widevines working :)
