Currently, you'd likely need to overwrite the mainline u-boot included with Manjaro, with a BSP version, to boot Chromium from SD.Chromium-Docker works well for me. I think it's awesome that it can be loaded using the package manager, too. I had to try to load it twice for some reason (build, remove, build) for it to work, but it's working now.
I'd also advise to avoid using current CrOS build for video streaming. Even from eMMC, CrOS can quickly overcome the PBP and cause it to overheat and reboot when streaming video. I would personally highly advise against streaming video services through the PBP (at least for the time being.)
Currently, the chromium-docker is your best bet to run these services, and reportedly has the least amount of negative impact on PBP performance.
Also, unless I did something different, chromium-docker has to be run as sudo to work properly. I've achieved this a couple different ways:
Option 1. From the menu, right click on Chromium-armv7, go over to the "Application" tab, and under command add "kdesu " before the command. On my computer that looks like this "kdesu /usr/local/bin/chromium-armhf" (Note, if you don't like the terminal running in the background, you can also click on "Advanced Options" and uncheck "run in terminal" while you are in here. Now what should happen when you run chromium-armv7 is you are asked for a password, then you're off to the races.
Option 2. to running chromium-armv7 as sudo is to add "sudo" to the "Command" box within the settings. To successfully run this way you need to "sudo nano /etc/sudoers" scroll to the bottom and add "username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/chromium-armhf" (or wherever your chromium-armv7 installation is) replacing the 'username' with your user name. This way may be less secure (I'm not sure, actually) but allows the command "chromium-armhf" to be run by your user as sudo without password.
Hope this helps! Keep on hackin'!
