From 8.8.0 to 8.9.0

In JxBrowser 8.8.0, we introduced Widevine support on Linux and removed it from the proprietary features enum.

8.8.0 and earlier

Previously, to use Widevine, you needed to specify the corresponding feature when creating the Engine, and the Engine would automatically activate the service.

var engine = Engine.newInstance(
        EngineOptions.newBuilder(renderingMode)
                .enableProprietaryFeature(ProprietaryFeature.WIDEVINE)
                .build());

8.9.0 and newer

Starting with JxBrowser 8.9.0, you need to activate Widevine manually.

macOS and Windows:

var status = engine.widevine().activate().join();

Linux:

// Create engine with the custom user data directory.
var options = EngineOptions
        .newBuilder(HARDWARE_ACCELERATED)
        .userDataDir(Paths.get("path/to/user/data/dir"))
        .build();
var engine = Engine.newInstance(options);

// Activate Widevine.
var status = engine.widevine().activate().join();
if (status == WidevineActivationStatus.RESTART_REQUIRED) {
    // And restart the engine if required.
    engine.close();
    engine = Engine.newInstance(options);
    engine.widevine().activate().join();
}
