Others solved the problem by changing "rock" user's name to their own preferred name. Instructions in the Wiki.

Other than that, I don't know.
Copying the Chromium directory does not seem to make a difference.

I will have a go at renaming rock, although I did mess this up last time I tried it! I had the same problem as described here:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...9#pid61869
I must be doing something wrong so I will re-read the Wiki and have another go.

Thank you for your help.

I don't think so, but I might not be understanding the script correctly. This is what the script contains...

Code:
#!/bin/bash # Script must be run as root if (( $EUID != 0 )); then         echo "Please run as root. Exiting..."         sleep 3         exit fi printMsg() {         echo         echo $1         sleep 0.5 } printMsg "Making sure dependencies are in place..." apt install -qq wget &> /dev/null printMsg "To get the latest widevine library we must download the entire 2gb ChromeOS recovery image (will later be deleted). Please be patient, this may take a while..." echo echo CHROMEOS_URL="$(wget -qO- https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chromeos/recovery/recovery.conf | grep -A11 CB5-312T | sed -n 's/^url=//p')" CHROMEOS_IMG="$(basename "$CHROMEOS_URL" .zip)" wget -O - "$CHROMEOS_URL" | zcat > "$CHROMEOS_IMG" printMsg "Mounting the image to pull the files from it..." mkdir -p chromeos_tmp LOOPDEV="$(losetup -f)" losetup -Pf "$CHROMEOS_IMG" mount -o ro "${LOOPDEV}p3" chromeos_tmp printMsg "Updating widevine..." cp chromeos_tmp/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser cp chromeos_tmp/opt/google/chrome/pepper /usr/lib/chromium-browser -r printMsg "Cleaning up..." umount chromeos_tmp losetup -d "$LOOPDEV" rm -f "$CHROMEOS_IMG" rm -fr chromeos_tmp printMsg "WIDevine Updater Completed" sleep 5
