Chromium FFMPEGSUMO

I’m running leap 42.2, and I’ve got Chromium installed. I had a vendor tell me that I need chromium-ffmepgsumo to watch videos in Chromium. I’m running Chromium 55, while the last chromium-ffmpegsumo package is Chromium 54?

Should there be a chromium-ffmpegsumo-55?

This doesn’t exist anymore.

Chromium uses the system’s ffmpeg now. This also means that you don’t have to replace chromium-ffmpegsumo (the “crippled” version) with chromium-ffmpeg either to get full codec support. Just install the full ffmpeg (from Packman e.g.).

OK, the reason I went down this path is because it’s not working. If I go to this video:

it doesn’t play as expected. In Firefox, it plays but it’s ignoring an offset argument which is a different issue.

should I open a ticket on Chromium?

Did you install the full ffmpeg (and libav*) from Packman?
You need this for other media players too.
The version included in openSUSE lacks support for non-free codecs for legal reasons.

See here e.g. 13. Multimedia Codecs - Install Support for restricted codecs including MP3, DVD, WMA, WMV, MOV etc.
