Cant play video (mp4) in Chromium Embedded Framework
Solution 1
you need to compile CEF with options to enable proprietary codecs
(i.e. H.264 and MP3).
you can read my answer with all the details on how to compile CEF with enabled proprietary codecs
the magic now happens here:
set GN_DEFINES=is_official_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome
there is 2 batch files that you should update/create (as found here):
c:\code\chromium_git\update.bat:
set CEF_USE_GN=1
set GN_DEFINES=is_official_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2015 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*
python ..\automate\automate-git.py --download-dir=C:\code\chromium_git --depot-tools-dir=C:\code\depot_tools --no-distrib --no-build
c:\code\chromium_git\chromium\src\cef\create.bat:
set CEF_USE_GN=1
set GN_DEFINES=is_win_fastlink=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2015 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*
call cef_create_projects.bat
There is 2 wiki articles that explain how to build CEF/Chromium:
- https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart.md
- and
BranchesAndBuilding
in the same wiki
Solution 2
CEF doesn't supports propriety audio and video formats like mp3, mp4. it supports open formats. for more detailed info check out https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/issues/detail?id=371
