Comment (by cehoyos):

 Widevine consists of a dll that the demuxer (or protocol) has to use to
 get an unencrypted stream (afaict).

 There are probably three ways to implement this:

 Use Samsung's FFmpeg patch to allow libavformat to use (an old version?)
 of the library. This may be a violation of FFmpeg (and Samsung) copyright,
 I don't know where the source code could be found and the patch may not
 work with current Widevine.

 Write a new wrapper: I don't think you would be allowed to distribute the
 resulting FFmpeg binary.

 Reverse engineer Widevine: This is ok from FFmpeg pov, but may get the
 developer into trouble.

 I would tend to close this ticket as wontfix but since recently a similar
 ticket was reopened, we can also leave the enhancement request open.
