Chromium?

You can very well run Xorg and browsers on the RPi under LibreELEC using Docker.

Just installed Chromium 8.0.102 on a LE 7.90 alpha build for Chromebox. Flash is running great, but I noticed page scrolling a full screen video is very choppy. I have tried turning hardware acceleration on and off (choosing Intel for on as the Chromebox is a celeron CPU), but no difference between the two. Is this a LE 7.90 alpha bug? Or a Kodi setting I need to fix? Thanks!

The chromium hardware accelleration settings are very much a hack. It may work it may not, there isn't much I can do about it.

check the special page 'chrome://gpu' and see what the render methods say.

also make sure that chromium isn't running in the background because when you change the settings for chromium from kodi they won't change.
in chromium settings ('chrome://settings') scroll to the bottom and disable running in the background.

OK I did as you suggested and disabled running in the background. I also disabled hardware acceleration in both chrome://settings and the add-in settings. Page scrolling is still very choppy compared to chromium on my previous Openelec build. Here's the output of my chrome://gpu screen:Graphics Feature Status

Ah yes maybe that's it. Can I downgrade to an earlier version? Or I can wait for you to add it back to the next build.

Hi
I have wetek play it works chromium?

I installed the chromium build available from the openelec repo and this one still had slow scrolling and lagging, where it used to run fine on my OE build. So I'm guessing it's an LE issue or krypton alpha bug? All my movies and videos play fine btw

any planned updates to the add-on anytime soon? Thanks!

Could we get a setting for interface zoom (x1.25, x1.50, x2.00) like in the older plugin below:
name="chromium", version="6.0.7", provider-name="joseba (devel.ba [at] hotmail [dot] com)"

It really helps with how chromium looks like from "tv watching distance" on a 40" 1080p, etc.

Thanks!

chromium add-on is for x86_64 hardware only

Hi Irusak

thanks for your reply.

I wonder how the android 5.1 runs netflix plugin natively on the amlogic s905 i have one with android 5.1 running ok, perhaps we could copy some info? or run it in libreelec as external app plugin?

Hey guys, I understand that Chromium is x84_64 only, but for the SBC touting users, wouldn't this be a viable alternative: Raspberry Pi • View topic - Kweb Suite (Minimal Kiosk Browser, omxplayerGUI) ?

I'm not a coder, so I don't know what this would imply in terms of development, to add it to LibreELEC, but it would be good to get a sort of browser for those websites/services that don't have a Kodi add-on.
