I know next to nothing about widevine decryption so forgive my ignorance - I was wondering if I download protected files now and get a widevine key later from another device, would I be able to decrypt the file with that key? or must the decryption be done with the same key/device that was used to download the file?

      Awesome - So is there anything I need to make note of when downloading or can I just download everything and figure out what I need for decryption later?

      What is the reason everyone is using cdm extracted from an android device, when a webbrowser also has a cdm?

        During cdm dumping the functions within are hooked, so while decrypting video, the private key can be extracted.

        On Android this is easiest because automatic scripts exist and you can rather easily get root access.
