Working with Claude.AI I have Joshua's kernel updated and cherry picked to have latest security fix. I have it on my Orange Pi 5b, on the Emmc. running 24/7, burn test, 4k video for screen saver. widevine in Vivaldi and chromium/Visual Studio Flicker fix. I am waiting on new Antennas to arrive for Bluetooth check. Currently hosted on Private Github, working towards public consumption. I'll let the AI tell the story. defcom5

Hi, I need help with flashing my tv box or installing it on linux. I would also be happy if you could run an armbian or similar minimal system. I would like to run a website on it at home. I already did it for an old venz v10 for a friend and installed armbian on it and he really liked it, but my couldn't install it with a memory card, the on new box 1.

Hi all. I am new to Arm and Linux in general. Got me a Raspberry pi5 several days ago and was going trough different OS systems so i can settle on one final choice. Landed in the Armbian community and tested the Armbian Bookworn / Gnome distro and was amazed how smooth and good looking this is. The only problem i have is the lack of preinstalled Widevine support. I know (and also tested) that Raspberry OS does have DRM playback support trough Widevine. So it works with the latest 64bit Arm Linux Kernel, right ? So i even went and extracted the Widevine folder form the RpOS system.... Now, several days after i am clueless on how to install Widevine and make the Chcromium browser use it. Went trough a ton of content in the web but am not that advanced to do it myself. ( i have also tested a KDE plasma build that have this functionality already built in, but i really want to use the Armbian platform) Can someone help me trough the process ?

Hello, Has someone managed to make widevine work properly in armbian for any ARM64 board? I have a orange pi 5 plus board and I'm using armbian with the vendor kernel and I'm struggling to get widevine working without success. I've tried several online tutorials but none of them seem to work (but they also seem to be rather old).

Hello, I wanted widivine in kodi, after some fails it found a solution. Maybe this helps you to get widevine working on arm aarch64 in web browser, too. First I used widevine-installer (needs squashfs-tools package) from here https://github.com/AsahiLinux/widevine-installer This should already work with chromium or firefox, didn't work in my case. I did not try further to solve web brower issue, cause I wanted to use kodi. I installed kodi via flatpak and setup widivine with inputstream-helper plugin. And again it failed and was not working 😞 Final solution was to copy libwidevinecdm.so created by widevine-installer (/var/lib/widevine/libwidevinecdm.so) to kodi cdm folder (/home/user/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so) So should be possible to get widevine working in chrome or firefox, too !!! Good luck ! Bjoern

@peter.eismann I added patches to glibc: https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/rockchip-multimedia/+sourcefiles/glibc/1:2.35-0ubuntu3.4+2widevine/glibc_2.35-0ubuntu3.4+2widevine.debian.tar.xz But it seems that this patch is no longer needed with newer glibc: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/widevine

I bought OrangePi Zero 2w month ago (newest board similar size to Raspberry Pi Zero 2w) and have 4GB ram built in. I downloaded OrangePi OS (Arch) image and installed it. Booted up just fine but the issue is that it seem Software Repository and Pacman software repository is broken. Cannot update to current and unable to download some software such as Widevine, nala ect. I wanted to be able to use up to date programs ect so I can turn it to mini desktop or as a Kiosk ect. it will not connect to Arch server. I also installed Debian as well and it would not connect to USA Debian server (It only 'locked' to Shanghai server even I rooted and tried to change it but it revert back to that server). Is it because it's brand new and still working on it or restricted for now?

Just stumbled over another chromium fork: https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium Forum search did not show any entries, so I thought I might share. The arm64 builds (for raspberry though) works great, it even has googly sync, widevine etc, check describtion for more info. It works out-of-the-box on legacy rock-5b jammy gnome images with liujianfeng1994 ppa enabled. For installation/updates one could also use: wget https://dl.thorium.rocks/debian/dists/stable/thorium.list sudo mv thorium.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ sudo apt update sudo apt install thorium-browser I usually like to test https://paveldogreat.github.io/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation/ which also runs smooth with webgl on the rock-5b. This might be a good choice, till upstream support makes it easier to find a up2date browser with gpu support.
