December 27, 20205 yr Hiya! Thanks for pointing. Me is trying to make a youtube box out of a nanopc-T4 freed after some research I bought it for. I'm honestly shocked by the fact that firefox in Armbian 20.08.2 boils the CPU to whizzing fan and the fps in youtube is 10-15! The default ubuntu install from friendlyelec was running absolutely cool and smooth. I think that Armbian does not use any HW acceleration by default...
December 27, 20205 yr @cu6apum You need to install the media script in Buster legacy for better youtube playback. It also comes with Kodi for 4k video at 4k display resolution. There is also the older scipt for Bionic. But this doesn't come with working kodi.

I completed all step (64bit), but DRM isn't working yet widevine is listed on vivaldi's componets as Widevine Content Decryption Module with version 0.0.0.0, is this right? when i run vivaldi into command line, i see "ERROR:chrome_content_client.cc(343)] Failed to locate and load the component updated flash plugin." pluggin is located in /opt/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_arm/libwidevinecdm.so (this path have permission to everyone 775) file exists ~/.config/vivaldi/WidevineCdm/latest-component-updated-widevine-cdm content => {"Path":"/opt/WidevineCdm"} what is wrong? My system is rockpi4 Armbian ubuntu 18.04 64bit
January 3, 20215 yr Author Unfortunately ChromeOS image no longer provides 64bit components ... try to install the 32bit version of Vivaldi and follow the ARMv7 instructions. (widevine is listed on vivaldi's componets as Widevine Content Decryption Module with version 0.0.0.0, is this right?) this is normal!

March 17, 20233 yr Need help.. I've been told theres a new file to work on widevine 64 But I can't make the magic happen Can anyone give me a hand here? ***ARMv8 (arm64 / 64-bit)*** git clone https://gist.github.com/vyn20/7e1e1c313843d6a8180cfc1f47bee6aa widevine-flash cd widevine-flash sudo sh ./widevine-flash_arm64.sh ***(and follow the instructions)*** tar zxvf widevine-flash-20230317_armhf.tgz 3. Open Vivaldi with the DRM browser launcher and check if DRM is working https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm I am trying to apply this here: https://forum.radxa.com/t/guide-openfyde-rock-5b-the-best-options/15338
March 20, 20233 yr Widevine for arm64 has been released, and I have tested that it does work on a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi has packaged it for PiOS. sudo apt install libwidevinecdm0 I used this to get the .so shared object file, and to understand the expected directory structure. I transfered it to an Orange Pi 5 running Armbian. However, it didn't work. My understanding is that this was because, by default, chromium-browser is hard coded not to attempt to load Widevine on arm64 systems. Presumably, this will be fixed upstream for chromium-browser in the near future. However, it would be nice if it was fixed earlier in the Armbian repo, and particularly if it was fixed in the hardware accelerated version provided by Liu Jian Feng. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo apt install mali-g610-firmware rockchip-multimedia-config I believe the gpu accelerated chomium-browser is from rockchip-multimedia-config. Unfortunately, being a newbie, I do not know how to go about requesting any of this.
