I am trying to run a Video using VideoView, android emulator throws me with library "unable to open libwvm.so" which should be in /system/lib folder but its missing. Due to libwvm, surfaceflinger cant create buffer. Any suggesions for alternative... Thanks in advance

Struggling with the same. Seems to be a Widevine (Google's DRM system) library that is not included in the SDK. – Sebastian Annies Dec 23 '12 at 22:38

Did you guys find any solution? I've got same on API 17 – Mike Bevz Dec 29 '12 at 22:30

Moto G5 and I'm having this same. The .so is not under /system/lib. Yet DRM info says Widevine should be supported. – mavavilj Dec 09 '22 at 18:36

The widevine library will not work on an emulator. It's by design.

Widevine has been baked into the OS since Android 3.1. As long as your device is widevine certified (and not rooted), you'd be able to make API calls. – dtroy Oct 13 '15 at 22:37
