Will it support rpi too?

Sadly, no. This only works on x86_64 systems.

Chromium requires Xorg so it's only available on Generic.

ok thanks always wondered

I wanted to watch Netflix using chromium, but i found that libwidevinecmd.so was missing. For my Celeron n3150 I copied it from an 64bit Debian version to the chromium add-on bin folder. That worked.

Nailig: If you looked in settings you'd have found options to load flash and widevine, but I guess this just proves a conversation I had in team chat the other night about users not noticing the options available. In future versions we'll probably remove the options and pre-embed everything.

Ah, I had already installed and de-installed chromium on OE a while ago, before updating to LE.
And when I reinstalled it again I saw that old settings were still there, so I thought all settings were fine.

Thanks for your answer.

I saw that the vc4 gpu drivers that are now in kernel 4.5, has x server.
When openelec/libreelec will upgrade the kernel to 4.5, it will be possible?

Arch has an Xorg-free Chromium: AUR (en) - chromium-wayland

Which requires wayland which we also don't use

I guess you're also not using Mir? Sorry if that's off-topic but what are you using (any documentation available) ?

Chromium?
