Posted a patch fix to Taproom with this change baked in, will be updating the Linux Repo’s shortly.

I’m not sure about the GTK thing as it was working fine across 4 different VM’s in our testing; However the Repo website URL has been fixed, was a typo.

Important Fix for Cider Widevine License Issues on Windows

Hey Cider community!

We’ve identified that many users are experiencing problems with Widevine content in Cider. This issue is related to expired Widevine licenses caused by recent changes in Microsoft’s WebView2 Runtime.

The Solution: Switch to Evergreen Runtime

We’ve created a step-by-step guide showing how to switch Cider to use the Windows Evergreen Runtime instead of our bundled runtime. This quick workaround will restore your ability to access Widevine-protected content while we work on a permanent solution in Cider 3.0.

What You’ll Learn in the Guide:

• How to access Cider’s advanced settings
• Enabling the Evergreen Runtime option
• Properly restarting Cider to apply the changes
• Troubleshooting steps if the initial fix doesn’t work

Unfortunately, Microsoft’s poorly timed updates to WebView2 have caused these Widevine license issues, but our team is actively working on Cider 3.0 which will address these problems permanently.

If you continue to have issues with Widevine content after following the guide, please comment below or reach out in our support channels.

Thanks for your patience!

We pushed a minimum version update so we could support more features for Cider to take advantage.

We understand it’s not totally ideal, and we plan on handling it a little differently so it’s self contained.

Hey there, we’ve just uploaded official Arch packages labelled under “Tarball” on our download portal Taproom!

Using the flag --no-sandbox should make this work under SteamOS.

We’ll handle config errors like this better with the Genten2 update for Mac and Linux.

As mentioned by asciidude above, running rm -rf ~/.config/sh.cider.electron

This should fix it for the time being, in the rare chance it occurs.

The fact that it’s hard crashing like that has me to believe Microsoft changed something again, we can’t reproduce it on our end which is even more irritating.

I’m not sure we have much control over this.

This could be a system related issue, as we don’t explicitly select an audio sink from our end (not that we could).

Currently we cannot support the Raspberry Pi due to lack of DRM on those platforms supported by Castlabs.

Once DRM is more widely available for developers on arm64 Linux devices, we’ll be sure to add it.

GameKuchen is correct here.

Cider uses DRM due to how MusicKit handles audio.

If you’d like to capture Cider’s audio thread, you’ll need to use an OBS plugin or something to capture it from the actual WebView2 runtime.

Hey there, Cider Connect is discontinued as of 2.5.0 due to some server side issues and lack of resources.

We will ensure this doesn’t appear again in later patch releases.

Hey there, that’s correct!

Cider 2.5.0 now has a visualizer within the Marketplace you can install!

Hey there, this is intentional behavior!

Cider 2.5.0 changes the way we originally handled backend updates, as now the backend version and frontend version are seperated!

This means your UI version could be 2.5.0 while your backend is now set to 1.0.0 on our new Genten platform.

Hope this solves any confusion.

Hey all! If you are experiencing this issue, I highly recommend seeking support in our Discord server located here

We can offer you direct one on one support over there, as these cases seem to be far in between and mostly associated with modified/debloated Windows installs.

Hey all! We’re working with AV providers to resolve these issues.

Overtime, these should become less and less relevant as our new codesigning certificate gains some new traction and a userbase to verify its authenticity with.

We appreciate your patience!

Fixed! Please install the latest hotfix update in app!

v2.4.0_1

Sorry about the inconvenience, this surprise MusicKit update was a little out of our control.

We changed the packaging format for uploading releases, I’ll add the “portable” releases to the pipeline.

This is a package you would install through pacman using the -U flag, I’m not sure why you’re copying the contents to the opt/usr directories.

We’ve gone ahead and updated the installation guide to convey this information more clearly.

To be added in a later update! We’re working towards redoing our backend to accommodate features such as this one!

This is now fixed!! Sorry! Please redownload your respective dmg from Itch.io again.

Sorry about this!! We’ve reuploaded macOS builds, and Linux builds.

Sorry about that, this should now be resolved please re-download Cider from Itch.

Playlist issue should be addressed now, please download 2.3.1 from Itch.io once again.

The “Problem Connecting” window is normal for the time being and is caused by Apple’s OAuth process for some reason.

Arch Linux package types are now available through the Itch.io page, consider re-downloading the version suitable for your operating system / distribution.

We’ve switched to static runtimes in 2.3.0, this should no longer be an issue.

These will be available from 2.3.0 onwards.
