Oh! Thanks for the explanation! Yep benchmarks are senseless, i dont need glxgears or rotating horses with more FPS

By H/W Accleration i mean: (its on my xeon machine) What i need is just Video Decoding also Scrolling and things would be faster if also the other things would be enabled. At the current state everything is rendered in Software and thats why the Browser is a bit laggy. With Chromium its a bit faster, maybe better use of the cores or so. Just Starting takes a bit more time then Firefox. The Main problem is that Firefox and Chromium are rendering in Software Mode which is slow. When i start it via the terminal with forcing it to use the GPU, sometimes i got messages like "failing to start the GPU Process". But i found in the oDroid Community they got it working: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=112&t=8267 They are using a Mali-450 or also a Mali-400 , but should be the same driver. Maybe the devs from odroid can help out?

Hey guys, I was wondering why the Browsers doesnt support H/W Acceleration, now i found out its because the Mali Driver is outdated. I installed also Chromium and forced it to use the GPU, well at least it trys but i got a bunch of errors. Is there a way to add a new Driver? Tried also to compile it myself but i was never that deep into linux and never had to compile drivers, here are the sources: http://malideveloper.arm.com/resources/drivers/open-source-mali-utgard-gpu-linux-kernel-drivers/ I think the current Kernel uses a horrible outdated r3p0 Version and a new one is r7p0, at least r4p0 is needed which should work with Chromium and finally add H/W Acceleration. Or is it not possible because of: If someone knows how to compile it and load it i would be thankful

Nice to hear something from the devs You are right now that i know which tools i need compiling is easy, also its now easy building a new Version of SmPlayer but its not really needed because the old version is also fine. But why not updating just 1 package which is already there, you also could remove it because its not useable. imho it provides a benefit for Desktop Users because Watching Videos in Firefox is not really working well. Watching them with smTube and SmPlayer is working like a charm. Just asking: Will be there a fix in the Future for this or what is the reason why its decoding so slow in FF? i dont want to be rude, your os your choice im quite happy with it.

Hey Guys, i tried again to build it myself and i did it Now the Beelink Box is doing well playing Youtube again. Here is how: http://forum.smplayer.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7999 This means: Download the Source and extract it via tar ( tar -xjvf <file> ) sudo apt-get install libqtwebkit-dev libqt4-dev zlib1g-dev fakeroot build-essential devscripts debhelper g++ This installs all Tools for Building smTube Then just run sudo ./create_deb.sh The Script should be in the extracted Folder. If someone need just a ready to use deb package i uploaded it here: http://www30.zippyshare.com/v/6ZCu7kzE/file.html You can install the deb by using dpkg or what i recommend is first install gdebi and install it with just a mouse click. Its the latest 16.7.2, tested on 2 beelink Boxes. If you dont trust me just feel free to build it yourself Would be ncie if someone would add the latest Version to the repo

Hey, First: Thanks to everybody making this work. I installed armbian on a beelink x2 TV Box with the old wifi Chip, we had two of them and the Android Rom just stopped working, well it worked but the Youtube App and such Things didnt. Im trying to reuse them as little Desktop Machines with armbian. For its Hardware it runs pretty good but there is one Problem. I need a new build of smTube, the Version i get via apt-get is to old. The box plays the Videos via Kodi or with a direct Link in smPlayer well but in FireFox it decodes it over the CPU i think and then it has Problems. I also tried to install a new smTube arm deb package with Gdebi but there are some depencies which couldnt resolved (QT5?), also tried tu build it myself the classic way i would do it on a x86 computer but i just failed Would be nice if someone has a a new build with the depencies or the default repo will be updated.
