Rock64 as HTPC

[putyourlitterhere]

LibreElec: NetflixBMC works as it should for me. I've been using it for a while now. Your mileage may vary.

Ubuntu Mate: Chromium exists and is basically Chrome. Should allow you to stream Netflix via a web browser just fine.

As far as I could see Chromium does not allow streaming netflix. I gave it a try anyways: Using Libreelec in Kwiboo Version (LibreELEC-ROCK64.aarch64-8.2-devel-20171004193222-r26173-gd404dbb.img.gz) I added the superRepo and installed chrome launcher, NetflixMBC and also chromium. Chromium does not start. NetflixMBC does not show any content and chrome launcher tells me that chrome could not be found. True - it's not installed...
Can you guide me which version/build of Libreelec you are using and how you managed to get netflixMBC running?

1. As for HD/ 720p playback in Netflix you should probably read this. I use this version of the Netflix apk on the new stock android (rooted) build - had no issues with it. 
   
2. I had no issues with web-radio or youtube - works fine and plays back smoothly. What issues are you experiencing ? 
   
3. There are ways to get live TV on your android device (not sure if German TV as I'm not German)  ... get a M3U list (don't link it in the forum please) which includes Germans TV stations. I'm sure there are plenty ... 
   
4. For streaming video from your NAS use either Kodi, VLC, RKMC or Plex - if you have Plex server installed on your server. 
   
5. This airmouse works great with the Rock64 - including power button. 
   
6. Spoke to Kwiboo some time back, there is a chance for Netflix and Amazon in future builds.
   
7. Desktop experience on the Rock64 has still some way to go - not a priority at an early stage of development. 
   
8.  Get Chromium. 
   

1. I tried out your apk for netflix: installs, but when I open it says "This app is not compatible with your device."
2. - 4. I'm also not expecting problems with streaming youtube, radio, tv, etc. I wanted to say that theses are further things I would like to do with my rock64. My problem is mainly concerning netflix and power button...
5. This device does not ship to my country. But I have a airmouse that seems to be similar. Are you also able to turn ON your device with this remote? I'm thinking that it might be complicated to reach the default power button on the board if the rock64 is mounted e.g. on the back of the tv.
6. I think I read this as well somewhere... thanks.
7. I do understand. I'm not looking for a full desktop replacement but a media pc.
8. Get Chromium - How?? I mean on Android Image, chrome is already installed and works, but on Libreelec or Ubuntu Mate I can not install chrome. At least I haven't found a way yet.

Thank you both for your replies.
