Try reinstalling from Download - OSMC.
Yes ā it should. I suggest a screenshot of the contents of the USB
Can we take this to itās own thread so as not to clutter the widevine support?

I have recently (2 days ago) updated to Kodi 19 Matrix and everything is awesome! Even old XViD MPEG4 video files now play seamlessy. I had to reinstall from disk image but thatās ok, it was a major update after all.
My only issue is that I canāt watch Discovery+ live channels via the Discoveryplus addon, alway due to Widevine CDM from ChromeOS recovery images as well. I have tried to update the Inputstream Helper addon to the newest version via zip file (the one from this month) but no luck. After resetting and reinstalling the Widevine CDM and rebooting, Iāve tried to watch the Italian NOVE live channel, but streaming canāt start.
Iāve read on github that itās because the Vero4K+ is ARM device, that would require patching glibc and itās a work in progress. Iāll wait for the next OSMC update and report back if itās working.
If itās any help, in the Kodi log there are these lines of interest:

Have you tested out the fix for widevine issue, the steps are in the first post of this thread

It worked! Yay. My only excuse is that threads donāt load all the comments at once, from search I landed on later posts and somehow didnāt occur to me to seach backwards.
Top notch support anyway!

Glad to hear it worked for you 
, yeah I think I know what you mean the way discourse handles message threading can take a little getting used to.
Unfortunately, for some reason, playback still fails on my box. 
On my Pi2 from this afternoon i have obtain DAZN addons (from kodinerds site) not more anymore works.
From kodi.log itās say:

I have tryed to follow the first stepā¦ installed the developer build of osmc and after reboot same result, Dazn not works.
After that i have also tryed to download the @matthuisman .so files. Reboot kodi but apparently itās not works.
Itās already avaiable a hotfix for reobtain dazn addons works ?
EDIT
OMGā¦ wait a moment.
I have retry to put the @matthuisman libwidevinecdm.soā¦ reboot another time kodi and DAZN addons itās back to works.
Need to test if other addons using cdm library itās worksā¦
After upgrading libc-stuff in staging(buster-devel), you should reboot. And if you have an old libwidevine.so in your system, you need to either use inputstrem-helper to upgrade or do it manually and let kodi ārestartā.
If you tried my new script it should have worked directly. =)
Unless DANZ doesnāt have inputstream.helper as a dependecy, then you have to install it yourself. And ask the developer to integrate it.
Lolā¦ i have already installed the inputstream.helper (maybe itās a dependency of youtube addons ??).
Otherwise apparently on my Pi2 all itās return to worksā¦ i donāt know what i did exactly but the important now all works.
I stopped using osmc (moved to xbian) when this first happened, intending to check back in later in the year.
Does this mean I can pop in my osmc sdcard and sudo apt update or will I need to reinstall?
This was fixed some time ago. You can indeed just update.
I booted up and ran sudo apt update which did update some stuff, but Iām still getting the error when trying to use widevine stuff that my OS is too old.
My debian version is 10.11:
osmc@osmclounge:~/.kodi/temp$ cat /etc/debian_version
10.11
osmc@osmclounge:~/.kodi/temp$
and on the My OSMC screen is shows OSMC August 2021 2021.08-1 which doesnāt seem new enough to have had the fix yet.
update just updates the package index, you would need to run dist-upgrade for a full upgrade.
But your current installed version is the latest stable version of OSMC.

OMG I forgot to reboot.
Sorry lol. Its working now
Iām running into a similar issue now. Iām using the latest version of OSMC (2021.11-2), Kodi (19.3), and Iāve run all the apt-get commands. Whenever I try to install Widevine, I see the āOS Update Neededā message displayed. Since Iām all up to date, I installed anyways, rebooted, and tried to play a video. I can hear the sound, but I donāt see the video at all. Is there some external dependency I have to install for this to work?
No - everything needed is included.
Is there anything I should look for or any logs I should provide? Iām not sure the path forward if the OS version looks good.
Itās not clear to me what device you are even running OSMC onā¦
