You can see that the latest image failed to build but I think its a matter of days. Everything will also be backported to Xenial (and included in the Debian builds I assume). As a side note, you wont be getting accelerated video in-browser, but this is true for other ARM boards too. That said, with time software playback is bound to get better.
I am a little puzzled as to why you want an image with a full DE for your use case; why not go with LibreElec and use Docker for the headless stuff?
Wow, LibreElec looks quite interesting, I wonder why I didn't stumble upon it yet. Docker seems like a proper solution aswell, thanks so far, I will check it out this evening. But what about video streams that are pretty much Browser dependant, like the South Park web presence or news page video content? What can I do, if I want a fluentt playback of this(if there even is a way)?
Regarding in-browser content; I expect that in time you'll be able to play back 480p content using software smoothly. Perhaps someone like Kwiboo, LongChair, Raybuntu or ayufan (or someone from Rockchip) can give you a more precise answer as to what chances there area for a wrapper for chromium/ FF.
//OT: I made another post concerning similar problems with my Pine A64-LTS can you possibly help me there aswell?
