This is an old thread.

I am attempting to use RPI4-8G with a recent NetBSD snapshot.

No issues faced with booting, wifi, building of some routine packages so
far.

Key question is, how do I play videos without irking the device (basically
without invoking lightening bolt, thermometer etc.)

omxplayer is not available on aarch64, hence on RPI4. Above post by
Michael last year suggested one could try ffmpeg with rpi specific
acceleration. If anybody has had any luck with it, please let do share, or
any other advice regarding the build.
