Args.gn request

[Alex313031]

Hello, I'm coming here and asking the same thing I asked Rob Rich. I didn't have to for Hibbiki, but unfortunately he stopped a while ago, and then even deleted all the builds except his last M75.x.x version. I used his 49 build for xp machines and older ones for older machines. Sigh, at least web.archive.org kept most of em. Anyway, since yall's args.gn arent posted like Hibbiki's was, I'm asking for them (only the linux ones). I use your's and rob's builds on windows but not on linux. Im asking because I would like to use yours and his as a base, and kind of do a three way merge between yalls, i.e. your build flags, with his profiling flags, as well as adding my own widevine, API keys for sync, and some overlay tweaks as well as using hibbikis HEVC patch, ported for linux (to enable native H.265.) Might I suggest, (at your own discretion) posting your args.gn along with the readme, so that other people can use them. Even if they aren't modifying anything, one might want to make an older build, or newer one, using the same build config as you. Also thanks for adding to the work of eloston. Would you ever consider making a vanilla build for linux, i.e. not ungoogled.

All major GNU/Linux distributions have a vanilla build of Chromium/Chrome.

Thanks m8. And yeah I know but sometimes they're out of date, only debian has sync by default, and often they don't have widevine. Currently using (some) of your flags on M93 rn! (M94 has major bugs bc its so new) Unfortunately the HEVC patch has been broken since M90, have you looked into enabling H.265 at all? (EDIT: I see there is the gn flags for it, but unfortunately thats not enough on anything besides windows.) As a side note, I am also building ChromiumOS, using https://arnoldthebat.co.uk/wordpress/ (Arnold the Bat's) overlays as a starting point. I have a build that works well, with full linux firmware and modules, but lacking H264. If you are interested or maybe you have already tried out Chromium OS or Cloudready, I'd be happy to share the disk image (can be used straight from USB, without touching system)

[Alex313031]

Sorry, another question. I have the annoying "sometimes the keyring unlocks sometimes not" that plagues pretty much anything but a stock gnome or ubuntu install (Im using Openbox), does the 'use_gnome_keyring=false' effectively have the same effect as if one were to pass '--password-store=basic' on the command line, or does it make chromium search for a keyring manager like normal, just ignoring gnome's keyring?

[macchrome]

1. Ungoogled Chromium for Linux would not compile cleanly without 'use_gnome_keyring=false'.

2. In the Chromium master branch (circa June 2021 onwards), HEVC may be enabled (by default) if the build flag ENABLE_PLATFORM_ENCRYPTED_HEVC is set in args.gn AND if the cmdline has --enable-clear-hevc-for-testing

[Alex313031]

How did you find out about the hevc cmdline flag.
