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?

There was a deletion request for that package, because it is not intended for x86 and mirrors a package in the official repos. It seems like it was deleted. I remember it getting an update not to long ago.

You can still clone the aur repo and get the PKGBUILD from there: https://aur.archlinux.org/glibc-widevine.git But be aware, that it doesn't get updates anymore.
