Amazon prime video not working on Ubuntu linux with chrome-beta or chromium browser

Today I got an issue on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine with latest chrome-beta installed. The issue was relating a component named "Widevine Content Decryption plugin" not installed. The amazon prime support recommended me to enable the plugin named "Widevine", but "chrome://plugins" was not accessible.

I got the fix for above issue at below URL in "chrominum setup" section.

Command which fixed mine:
sudo ln -fs /opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libwidevinecdm.so
Enjoy the fix!
