hi jaruba,. I get an error when I run in raspberry 3.
or maybe I need a WebGL?

it will not work on RPi, at least while X11 will not have hardware accelerated drivers there...

@RSATom although WebChimera.js VLC won't work because of the lack of hardware acceleration, I think WebChimera.js GStreamer might, as stated on this wiki page:

gstreamer-1.0 features gst-omx, a module which can do hardware-accelerated video decoding on the Raspberry Pi.

@creativefull but the api for WebChimera.js GStreamer is too different from WebChimera.js VLC, so wcjs-player won't work with it..

@creativefull If you want to test this theory though, you'd need to enable hardware acceleration in NW.js too (as rendering the video uses WebGL), from what I've read here: nwjs/nw.js#1151 (comment)

It seems that people did manage to get hardware acceleration working in NW.js on the RPI before.

I think there are more reasons use QML based players on RPi. I'm working on porting https://github.com/RSATom/WebChimera-desktop to RPi right now.

@RSATom but isn't it still based on VLC, I thought VLC had an issue with hardware acceleration on RPI..

it's only the part of the problem, second part - missing hardware acceleration of frames display on RPi. It could not be fixed only by using GStreamer (which could use hardware decoder) - it require hardware accelerated renderer too.
