[tde-users] Re: Here's the Kaffeine problem

One advantage of the RPi is that it's really easy to try stuff. If it breaks the system, I just yank the mSD card and replace it with a clean one made on the other machine, and take the broken one to the other machine and rewrite it with the clean system. When everything is right and tested, I write it to the SSD and have a new clean version. If after a couple of weeks nothing has beoken, I can migrate it to the SSD on the other machine.

Right now trying to fix the TV tuner issue and a totally goofy Netscape and Vivaldi problem. Netscape-Mozilla-Firefox v.126 runs Widevine perfectly well, so I can watch paid, subscribed stuff. But it has had a bug since 119 -- the screen blanker doesn't notice that it's running. So every few minutes in a movie or show the TV shuts down. Aha, I thought, well then I'll run Firefox ESR, which really does resemble Netscape . . . and won't, it turns out, run Widevine at all. The blanker bug isn't in ESR. Which no, is not named for Eric S. Raymond. So I thought maybe Vivaldi, which I like elsewhere, would do. It supposedly runs Widevine but it's pretty shaky about it. There are all sorts of folk tales -- really -- about getting Widevine to work on it, but I haven't found a reliable one.
