My first impression of Manjaro was amazing, cause the desktop is simple, beautiful and pleasing.

As the description on the official website — FREE OPERATING SYSTEM FOR EVERYONE, it’s a free powerful Linux OS.

With elegant desktop, Manjaro provides a software center, in which you can download a large number of applications — it has strong compatibility.

3 steps to experience: Download the ROM; use Etcher to flash to the SD card; insert the SD card to Station P1. (Note: You need to erase the EMMC, or remove the EMMC module.)

Watch Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and other Widevine DRM Video in Manjaro Linux

There is a stable Chromium-Armv7 application which can work quite smoothly on Station P1 and play Netflix and Amazon

It is a tiny pkg with a script which will fetch and install all the things needed for Widevine, Chromium armv7 and dockers.

Users can try it from unstable branch.
Command to install chromium-armv7 package

sudo pacman -U https://www.uex.dk/public/manjar ... -aarch64.pkg.tar.xz

It will download and install around 1.5Gig of data. Sd-Card will take a long time for extraction of Widevine.
After it is installed you will see Chromium-Armv7 in application launcher.

Running it will get you chromium with HW acceleration and Widevine.

Known issues:

• Setting page will crash
• Sometimes docker permission is not set.
  

For the permission to be set correctly where a user should be able to run docker without sudo, users will have to reboot once, If it doesn’t help then pass the following command.

sudo groupadd dockersudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)sudo reboot now

Can also watch in 1080p if you want, This will need to be added manually by the user. It is not enabled by default on purpose.
To enable Netflix-1080p Plugin inside Chromium

Navigate to Setting > More Settings > Extension > Enable Developer Mode > Load Unpacked > Browse /usr/lib/chromium-browser/netflix-1080p > Restart Chromium-Armv7

You can check the resolution on Netflix Video Player using Ctrl + Shift + Alt + D and Switch Resolution with Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S
You can set highest bitrate by default in option of Netflix-1080p plugin also.
