Chromium HTML5 Support

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=(http://www.youtube.com/html5)

It says “Your browser does not support HTML5 video with our site.”
chromium-ffmpeg package is included.
So what am I missing ?

Which site says this? You need to give more information. I also use chromium but have had no problems with it in this area.

I see the same thing.

Strange. It worked with 12.1.

He does have a link to the youtube test page.

There was an announcement that chromium would be moved to packman.

Then that was retracted because they found a way of building that did not require the move to packman.

I reinstalled after those announcements. I wonder if there is a problem with their new way of building.

You need a new glasses.

Thanks for the info.
Glad to see someone has the same problem.

So is there a solution or something ?

Running Tumbleweed with Chromium from the network:chromium repo, no issues to watch Youtube in HTML5

I suggest that you file a bug report.

I hardly use chromium - it is installed only as an alternative browser for occasionally testing stuff. It would be better for the report to be filed by a regular chromium user.

You can put a link to this thread in the report.

Mostly I use Chrome, but Chromium is fine here too:

Thanks, it works with this repo.
But it doesn’t works with standart repo.
I tried with another user and even fresh install of opensuse.

I hardly use linux - it is installed only as on alternative operating system. It would be better for report to be filled by a regular linux user. :smiley:

Quite right; I’ve just had a cataract operation and I am waiting for new glasses once my eyes have settled down.

The problem has certainly arisen since 12.2 came out because one of the first things I did after I installed it was to run html5test.com on chromium and on Konqueror and chromium scored over 500; it now scores less than 300, including 0 for video.

Sorry. :frowning:
And thanks for replying.

I hope it will be fixed on next release.

Accepted and thanks for the raising the issue; I would have gone on blithely assuming everything was OK as it appeared to be before.

On 12.2 with chromium, chromium-gnome, and chromium-ffmpeg installed. Chromium 24 scores 383 and 2 bonus points on the html5 test. Most notably scoring 0 for the Video and Audio sections.

Google Chrome 23 scores 433 and 13 bonus points.

This problem seems to be fixed, after today’s update to version 25.0.1343.0

And back to 468 on html5test with full video support.

Yes, same here, better than Chrome

The issue was caused due to a different way of building Chromium based on their changes of requiring ffmpeg at buildtime. The first build disabled some of the proprietary codecs in the chromium-ffmpeg package, which were resolved by the newer build.

FYI
