Now that IoT Yocto has a Chromium browser integration, can I watch Netflix using the Chromium browser?
The short answer is no.
The reasons are that, Netflix requires browser to support content-protection mechanisms.
- The open source Chromium project lacks the support for content-projection playback.
- While the Genio SoC itself do support hardware secure video playback, the software in IoT Yocto lacks the secure drivers and software frameworks to enable hardware-accelerated secure video playback.
