I saw here that the script supports Widevine installation on arm64, so I went for it. However, after I installed Widevine using the script on an arm64 device running Waydroid (Droidian, Waydroid initialized with sudo waydroid init -f -s GAPPS), waydroid show-full-ui will then fail to launch it. I get no error message when doing so, it just never ends or show the Waydroid window.

Removing Widevine using waydroid_script did not help, but removing /var/lib/waydroid and reinitializing Waydroid to download a new image did. However, I'm still curious how to make Widevine work on arm64 with the script.

I confirm this issue. Tried on Ubuntu Touch and Droidian on a Pixel 3a. This breaks waydroid. Any clue ?
