I definitely support your suggestion to use LXDE for simplicity and speed. The superior performance not only enhances the user experience when run locally, but may be critical for remote desktops run over slow links.
LXDE is a must for lightning fast thin clients in virtualized environments. To date nothing compares to the snappy performance of x2goclients securely running LXDE-sessions on a remote x2goserver. I've dropped the KDE,
Unity, Gnome, XFCE bloatware for any professional use.

I do not see any difference in performance between LXDE and XFCE if you just disable compositing in xfwm4.

LXDE uses less memory than XFCE. I've actually "seen" it by testing and successfully running LXDE desktops on many different systems with as low as 256M RAM,
Freeing memory could be helpful for memory-restricted OPI ONE.

Thank you for update. I must say I didn't notice all those problems - if you came to 5.05 with an up ...

I am using OPI-PC and it is recognized by the Armbian 5.05. I did fresh installation of Armbian 5.05 , not upgrade from 5.04. I`ve changed root password and created a new user account. The HW playback is not working. It get garbled color blocks and sluggish image when playing a 720P movie with MPV player. I can use SMplayer with sdl to play that movie which uses software decoder. I can make a video of this if you wish. Maybe LXDE desktop will solve some of the issues I listed above.

I tried to compile and install latest mpv player with command below. Build and installed succefully.

1. wget https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/archive/v0.16.0.tar.gz
   
2. cd mpv-0.16.0
   
3. python boostrap.py
   
4. ./waf configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-libass
   
5. ./waf build
   
6. sudo ./war install

Copy code

But I cannot run mpv, it reports error below.

1. mpv: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/libavfilter.so.5: symbol avpriv_vga16_font, version LIBAVUTIL_54 not defined in file libavutil.so.54 with link time reference

The desktop-image of Armbian 5.05 already has mpv pre-installed; if you do "mpv --version" it should spit out "mpv 0.16.0-git-9d2980d"

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong. Are you sure you downloaded and installed the desktop-image? Or did you try to install mpv after booting the image? I mean, the mpv - package in the repos is horribly outdated and, as I said, the 0.16 - version is already pre-installed in the image -- it doesn't need to be installed by users manually. If you then go and install mpv from the repos you'll just be replacing it with an older version that won't work right.

I just made a pull-request to make this stuff work in future desktop-images of Armbian, but you can fix it in your image by:

1) Edit /boot/boot.cmd and change "cgroup-enable=memory" to "cgroup_enable=memory" and do "mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr"
2) Do "apt-get -y install gvfs policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome eject"
3) Do "wget https://github.com/WereCatf/lib/ ... jessie/plugdev.pkla -O /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/plugdev.pkla"
4) Do "wget https://github.com/WereCatf/lib/ ... t-jessie/power.pkla -O /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/power.pkla"
5) Reboot

Now you can enable automounting of stuff in settings and it should work.

Yes, as I told you. I did fresh install of Armbian 5.05 Debian Desktop firmware and I noticed mpv is preinstalled, so I tried to play videos first, but I found it cannot play smoothly, then I removed the preinstalled mpv and libvdpau-sunxi, I compiled and install from the source. But I got a error lauching mpv as I posted earlier. I also have issue installing samba. This release says it cannot configure samba. Care to upload your build?
Below is what the preinstalled mpv performs on my OPI-PC. You can see colored blocks and garbled image.

Well, those screenshots explain the issue: you're trying to play xvid - codec. It's broken in libvdpau-sunxi. Basically, only H.264 and HEVC work right at the moment and MPEG1 and MPEG2 work only for progressively-encoded content.

There's nothing we can do about it, ask the developer for libvdpau-sunxi to fix playback of mpeg4/xvid.
