Chrome Remote Desktop - Native Client Plugin

[firsttris]

Hello,

i have running Chromium V51 on my RPI3.
i wonder if its possible to use Chrome Remote Desktop (client) ?

When i trying to conntect to another computer (host) it says:

"Some components are missing. Visit chrome://plugins and make sure Native Client is active."


If i check chrome://plugins on the pi --> native client plugin is missing.

(tried Chromium from pacman and AUR.)

is it currently possible to get the native client plugin working on a rpi3?

thx for your answer,
regards

It has been disabled in our packaging for a while, due to issue with building for ARM.

We can investigate, but it may still remain unstable, at which point that would not be package-able for the distribution.

Please consider this a suggestion from the "Peanut Gallery" -- IOW, FWIW:

I'm guessing it would take a high level developer, familiar with the guts of Chromium, maybe the compiler and machine code, to zero in on and fix a problem like this, right?

Is there any chance Arch Linux ARM could host an "ARM bug bounty" page(s), something like the donations page? If people wanted problems -- which are peculiar to ARM Linux -- to be fixed, they could apply for a mini-project to be approved to collect funds. Then, if people give, a dev might be interested and "incentivized" enough to dig up to their elbows into the code and provide a fix.

Hope this is of value.
