To run this, I created a file in /etc/sudoers.d specifying that I should be able to execute specific service-related commands without a password prompt: %robert ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl start kodi The rest concerns when it should be run and as which user.įor rvice, I changed the service to run as my user, and ExecStart to ExecStart=xinit /usr/bin/chromium -start-maximized -kiosk "" - :0 -nolisten tcp vt1. The part the actually gets executed to run Kodi is ExecStart=/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/kodi-standalone - :0 -nolisten tcp vt1. Wants=network-online.target rvice /usr/bin/kodi-standalone - :0 -nolisten tcp vt1 Since Kodi came as a standalone service, we can repurpose the systemd service file: $ less /usr/lib/systemd/system/rviceĪfter=remote-fs.target rvice network-online.target nss-lookup.target sound.target bluetooth.target rvice rvice rvice Netflix!

xinitrc for use with startx, or create a service for it as below. Once installed you can start chromium-vaapi from the command line with xinit, add it to. Caution: I have not verified that version, so I cannot vouch for its safety! That said, you can add that repo to your pacman repo list, or grab the package from the package list.

Since compiling Chromium on a weak Intel Atom with a piddling amount of storage and RAM takes roughly an eternity plus-or-minus an eon or two, you can install the version from the archlinuxcn repo. This requires a vaapi-enabled version of Chromium, available from AUR as chromium-vaapi. Sadly, it appears Google have no intention of bringing hardware acceleration to Linux, so after toying with Chrome I went with Chromium, which does have hardware acceleration in Linux!įirefox hardware acceleration may work instead, but it requires a nightly version and Wayland.įor this hardware acceleration needs to be forced on in Chromium (which means not having Wayland). While I normally use Chromium, the open source version of Chrome, I was under the impression that the latter was the best option for Netflix in Linux due to DRM and such. While there are a few packages that provide a Netflix experience under Arch, I went the browser route. Note: Thanks to Bob for links and guidance in getting this working. Kodi works! Netflix (Hardware-Accelerated Chrome) Install using your favourite AUR manager if you’re looking for a recommendation, I use trizen. If all you are planning on using the HTPC for is Kodi, it may be worth considering the Kodi standalone service package provided in AUR.

The giants of media library software are Plex and Kodi.

Vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) CherryView - 2.4.0 Vainfo: VA-API version: 1.7 (libva 2.7.1) # DISPLAY=:0 vainfo # $DISPLAY set here if you're running via SSH While we’re at it, it’s worth verifying what we’ve installed, for which you’ll need some kind of display running: # pacman -S libva-intel-driver The Arch Wiki has a useful page on hardware video playback, but the short version is that we are looking for the libva-intel-driver package to run the HD Graphics integrated GPU. However, the Wyse 3040 has a tiny Atom x5-Z8350, which means it’ll struggle with video playback, so this is a necessary step. For modern systems this is optional, though recommended, as they have enough processing headroom to handle video playback in software without difficulty, by and large. Chromium / Chrome only appears in half of the screenįirst, it’s worthwhile enabling hardware acceleration of video playback.I have the right driver installed but vainfo/vdpauinfo isn’t working.
