What happened to glibc-widevine ? (aur.archlinux.org)

I watch the F1 on NowTV. In windows this works fine in Firefox but not in Linux. My research turned up various posts linking to the "widevine" package that depends on "glibc-widevine" but that seems to have disappeared. What happened to it? did it work? where can I get it? is there an alternative?

Yeah that's what it said but it is required by the widevine aur package. I guess I could fork that package to remove the glibc-widevine package?

The pkgbuild should not depend on it if you build in x64, that is only a display Problem in the web i think. Firefox should be avle to download its own copy of widevine though.
