I've been trying lots of stuff, read a lot but could not make it work.
What I need is to make a video player. If someone pushes a button a specific video will be played. So simple.
The device will be networked and I will add other stuff in time (sensors, Python scripts, IoT frameworks etc).
I chose Orange Pi One and Armbian Debian LEGACY (sorry NOT mainline) kernel.
I wrote scripts to to automate device setups.
All fine.
To play videos I installed LXDE and mpv.
The video did not work as there is no acceleration. Drivers seem to be broken (05.02.2017 compilation - I read about the broken drivers, but do not have the solution)
I read about "downgrading" the Ubuntu desktop - there are to many stuff on the desktop version. I want a clean setup. (Even software uninstalls got stuck).
In Ubuntu desktop, a video plays once, then I get a blank (black) mpv and cannot start another video as the system hangs.
What do you suggest?
How can I upgrade a server version into a video acceleration enabled desktop version?
Or...
Shall I ditch the Opi and go to RPi?
