Full functionality for EVS has been restored. There are still some concerns about the service itself from Widevine which may prompt future changes to the terms of the service. We'll keep you posted.
At the request of Widevine we have temporarily disabled EVS for signing ECS releases while they are investigating possible misuse of ECS. We are hopeful that the situation can be resolved quickly and EVS restored.
This week we publicly rolled out a new service, EVS, that allows users of Electron for Content Security to VMP-sign their applications for production use without applying for their own VMP certificate. EVS is a free service, but requires signup to use, and it supports both streaming-only and offline-capable applications depending on the kind of VMP signature that is requested.
For futher information, and usage instructions, check out the EVS wiki page.
The Widevine News page has a table depicting when certain CDM versions are available and/or when they will be removed. CDMs that are removed will no longer be able to retrieve licenses, effectively also ending support for Electron for Content Security versions that can no longer support more recent CDMs.
As of this writing the last CDM using the older CDM9 interface is about to be removed which will end support for Electron for Content Security versions prior to 4.0.0 since they do not support the more recent CDM10 interface. To help keep track of this the table below depicts the Chromium and CDM versions used by different Electron for Content Security release series, and their current CDM removal status.
The goal is to mimic the Electron team policy and support the three latest stable major versions, but in cases where this happens to be in conflict with CDM version deprecations deviations may occur.
