JoeyBeelinkX2 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Thiago have you tried 4K Video Downloader? At least it can download YouTube videos at the resolution you prefer. I got used to using it with a ThinClient with no hardware acceleration running Mint a year ago and it's been indispensable since then. But disclaimer: I don't have my Beelink/Armbians setup too well yet and am working on the Android part that works first. And wise man once advised me: no internet connection for Android lol
Igor Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 There are many ways to watch accelerated youtoube videos on stock Armbian legacy install. Just not within a browser. youtube-dl, mpv, ... You don't need any windows based download tool. https://forum.armbian.com/index.php?/topic/499-bananapipro-video-accelerated-no-work/&page=2#comment-28237 It's to avoid Android on those boards since it's crappy and unsupported. Luckily we have a well maintained Openelec fork if you seek multimedia OS. 2
Bolidionw Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I met the similar YouTube play error like you before. I can watch YouTube in 480P or 360P, but when I change it to 720P or the higher resolution, it gives me a green screen. Finally, it was solved by removing the Ad-Block. So share with you and hope this may be helpful in fixing your YouTube problem. Good luck.
