Once your Raspberry reboots, you can check that the 3D drivers are loaded and working: cat on Raspberry Pi 3 the v3dbus command should be (provided by Alexis in the comments):Ĭat both commands return okay, then the hardware acceleration is working and activated. Note: if you're new to this configurator, you can navigate the menu using the arrows and the tab key from your keyboard.

Go to Performance Options > GPU Memory (on old Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS: Advanced Options > Memory Split).

Select the option GL (Fake KMS) OpenGL desktop driver with fake KMS and Click OK.

Start the raspi-config configurator, typing in a Terminal:.

128 MB (this is usually a default value). To be able to activate the hardware acceleration, first we need to enable the 3D video driver (so-called Fake KMS), and then set the memory to e.g.

Then, install the libraries typing: sudo apt-get install libgles2-mesa libgles2-mesa-dev xorg-dev

You need to install a few libraries, but first, the basic step is to update the system typing the following on a Terminal: sudo apt-get update #sudo mv chromium-drm-browser.DIY: Video Decode using Hardware Acceleration #sed 's/Chromium/Chromium (DRM)/g' sktop > sktop Here are the lines in your script: # Changing user-agent to Chromium

If I run the chromium-browser command from the terminal with the added -user-agent then it works fine! The browser doesn't work for Netflix after running the script because the lines in your script modifying the desktop config file have been commented out! I've included the creation of the direct access again.

Update 20201206: Some users report that the user-agent modification is needed to play videos under Netflix.

You need to close everything and open it again, or just reboot the Rasbperry Pi to be sure.

Update 20201115: The standard browser shortcut will have DRM support and you can use it to play videos from Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Spotify, Pandora, and many others (see Fig.

After the required files are extracted, the image is deleted, and you get the space back.Īfter doing that, you will get two direct accesses to the Chromium Web Browser (see Fig.

Important: You'll need about +2GB of free space on the microSD to download the recovery image of ChromeOS. It moves the manifest.json inside the folder /opt/WidevineCdm, and finally inside /opt/WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/linux_arm, it moves the libwidevinecdm.so file. Update 20201115: Then, it creates two folders $/.config/chromium-browser/WidevineCdm, it writes a file latest-component-updated-widevine-cdm with the location of the library. This folder is where the menu access is located. It also creates and moves the sktop file to the /usr/share/applications folder. Then, it copies the library Widevine under /usr/lib/chromium-browser/. The script needs sudo because it mounts the ChromeOS recovery image as a disk to extract the required files.

Change the file type to executable, typing:.

usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser -version To add DRM support to Chromium on Raspberry OS, follow these steps:ĭownload the script on the Raspberry Pi (you could use SSH): # Raspberry Pi OS (32bits) / Raspbian You can check here for the last version of the browsers, and modify the script. Therefore, I forked and modified it for Chromium. You won't need the Flash library, but it is also available. That sounds quite complex, right? But, it isn't at all! To do that, I found this script widevine-flash_armhf.sh, that fetches the latest official recovery image of ChromeOS for ARM, mounts it as a disk, and extracts the Widevine and Flash libraries, saving them in a compressed archive. Therefore, the solution is to extract the library Widevine ( libwidevinecdm.so) from ChromeOS and add it to Raspberry Pi OS. If you want to update your OS, just type the following (after you've saved your important data) To know which version of Chromium you are using, just type /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser -version in a Terminal. Earlier browser versions should use an old version of the gist file. Update 2020.11.15: I've just updated the solution and now it is working with Chromium >=.141.
