Hi,

Could you try the latest release here ? (validate the github email invite first) https://github.com/sebanc/brunch-testing/releases

b1t0y commented 4 years ago

Thanks. I will try it later when I get home. Thanks for looking at this issue. Will report back.

b1t0y commented 4 years ago

Hi I tried the new brunch and powerwash but till getting the same 5.8 in netflix. Playstore also was slow during no cros debug on kernel. Do I need to install the stable brunch or can maintain with this testing brunch? Thanks for trying to solve the problem. I am using your brunch in all my computer with dual booting and works really great.

sebanc commented 4 years ago

What is your computer model ?

You can keep the testing brunch unless you have issues with it.

I have a lenovo u430 i5 4th gen with intel hd4400. Have you tried this on your PC/laptop and it worked? I have other laptops that I can test with such as an atom and 3rd gen intel 3000 and 4th gen intel hd4600 if you think there will be a difference with gpu or model. Thanks again will keep using the brunch and update the others.

BTW, I found that I can side load a specific netflix apk version 4.16.1_build_15145-15145 that works. But any other newer version still gets that 5.8 error. I don't know if this will help with any.

Hi, I can confirm it works on my Surface Go (tried in the past and also yesterday) but I only tested direct video playback and forgot to test on downloaded content.

So what step did you do? You are using the netflix app download on the playstore? What I did was to update the brunch with this one. Then after updating power washed it then boot without cros debug on the kernel. Then after, I can see netflix on playstore and downloaded it. Is that right? Thanks

sebanc commented 4 years ago

Your steps (removing cros_debug from kernel command line and powerwash) are correct. At first I thought it could be a selinux issue but apparently it it not. Which image are you using and are you on beta or dev channel ?

Im using rammus 83 with your testing brunch you gave me. I did not change the channel when it was first installed. So I guess that is the stable channel? Do I need to change the channel? Do you think I should do a clean install with the no cros_debug line when I boot the first time?

sebanc commented 4 years ago

Ok, don't change channel, i was aking because netflix is often broken on beta/dev channel.

I have disabled selinux which is the only thing I can think of that could prevent netflix from playing.

I found this by searching: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8x/help/netflix-error-5-8-t3914141

It seems this error can be related to other android apps, could you try removing other android apps or even extensions and see if it works ?

I recently installed Chrome OS using latest brunch ( r83 k4.19 testing 20200704 ). Can't find netflix on store... even after removing cros_debug from boot parameters. I think the so called "safety net" is not working, which means I can't even install apps like photomath. What can I do to fix that?

sebanc commented 4 years ago

@NSbuilder You also have to powerwash after removing cros_debug. Also, just in case you would be on beta/dev update channel, safety net is almost always broken there.

sebanc commented 4 years ago

@BuzzKnightbeer You should at least see Netflix, don't know for the others. Which recovery image do you use ? When you press CTRL+ALT+T and type "shell", do you have an error ?

sebanc commented 4 years ago

Then, you did not properly remove cros_debug, if you use dual boot make sure you are modifying your Linux grub config.

I see netflix but android apps and play store glitch and lag. it "moves" to next menu ( without animation ) after hovering on window buttons ( minimaze, close etc )

with cros_debug all works fine ( except netflix and safety net of course :)

I have the same issue when launching play store that it hangs. Turning on night light option will help to run it much better. I don't know why but it helps with mine. Do you get netflix to work and play videos without cros_debug? I still get an error on mine saying video 5.8 error even after power washing.

Nytuo commented 4 years ago

I have the Same issue as @NSbuilder for me, Netflix videos work fine @b1t0y . Before removing the cros_debug all work fine. I also experience internet connection errors.

sebanc commented 4 years ago

@BuzzKnightbeer In theory yes, but if you were in non-dev mode you would not be able to enter crosh shell

Hi - did you ever have any luck with this? I'm having exactly the same issue on my T430s.

Developer mode is off; did a power-wash after:

Google Chrome: Version 96.0.4664.111 (Official Build)  (64-bit)
Platform: 14268.67.0 (Official Build) stable-channel rammus
Channel: stable-channel
Firmware Version:
ARC Enabled: true
ARC: 7982014
Enterprise Enrolled: false
Developer Mode: false

Trying to run shell from cros gives command not found, as expected ✔
Oddly, all of Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video apps installed from the Play Store and ran without complaints from the very first boot i.e. with Developer Mode still enabled!
- In fact, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video let me download episodes and watch offline without a single complaint, with Developer Mode enabled!
... but Netflix app still gives the 5.8 error on any attempted playback, whether it's online or a downloaded video :(

I've seen some people claim that you need to sideload an old version of Netflix, but I'm running into #1303 (i.e. can't even start Linux) and the listed mitigation for that didn't work for me :(

I've even changed my wallpaper to some random jpeg out of desperation XD

Apart from that, I'm very impressed with Brunch so far - it's quite an achievement :)
