Chromium, Firefox, RetroArch, SuperTuxKart and Terminal add-ons for LE13

    Quote from Eli2k

    Thanks, it works pretty well :)
    now we need Retrodeck to make the experience perfect :)

    Feel free to give it a try and report back if it works (note: according to the flathub page it's not available for aarch64, only x86_64 is listed).

    ssh in and run "flatpak install flathub net.retrodeck.retrodeck", then try to start it directly from the flatpak addon.

    so long,

    You're completely right, I'll try it with Pegasus instead:

    Install Pegasus on Linux | Flathub
    Cross platform, customizable graphical frontend for launching emulators
    flathub.org

    Quick heads up:

    Google finally released Chrome for 64bit ARM and it's now available in our addon repo.

    It should also support widevine (usually it's installed via chrome's component updates) so Netflix etc should work with it, too.

    If you update Chromium (use the update function of the Flatpak addon) you should also be able to get widevine working.

    I haven't been able to verify that myself (as I'm currently away from home), but in the past widevine was installed when you first visited a (streaming-) site that required DRM and then you needed to restart Chrome/Chromium to actually get it working - so try that, too, if it doesn't work at first try.

    so long,

    First of all, an enormous thank you to the developer of this. I deem this an absolute game changer.

    A couple of questions:

    1) I am trying VacuumTube on a Nuc 11 i3. I can't seem to be able to activate HDR playback on HDR videos. I've read reports of people managing to do so and I *think* they were using an AMD GPU for this. Is Intel not capable of this with VacuumTube, for whatever reason? Nuc 11 i3 outputs HDR in regular Kodi (and now Dolby Vision). I have tried with the Wayland HDR setting both on and off.

    2) I've discovered the External programs helper addon and found the option to change resolution. If one wants to change other things, like mouse speed or whatever else... is it something doable by modifying the addon files somehow? Or is there a configuration file somewhere one can edit, with linux commands or whatever? I am absolutely not familiar with how Flatpaks work, so I might be asking for something that is technically impossible. Sorry in advance if so.

    The wayland compositor we currently use (cage) doesn't support HDR (yet).

    We are (more precisely CvH is) currently looking at using labwc instead, which should support HDR.

    ATM the only things you can change are the display resolution (with the latest addon updates also independently for each flatpak addon) and a few audio settings.

    Keyboard layout and the audio device are taken from kodi's settings.

    We'll have to think about if/how to add more settings, but we also need to be careful that we don't overcomplicate things.

    so long,

    Hias
