Re: Chromium Codecs Problem...

2010/10/16 Manuel Escudero <Jmlevick@xxxxxxxxx>:
Hi! as many of you may know, Chromium is having problems
inside fedora with youtube's HTML 5 Video, see, when I want to
play a HTML 5 Video in youtube, this message comes out:
"Your browser does not correctly recognize any of the video formats
available"
in ubuntu-debian based distros the problem gets solved by installing the
"chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree" package, but this one is not available in
fedora, at least not with that name.
¿Can someone tell me the name of this package in Fedora 13?
Thanks!
Oh! and if you want to reproduce the problem inside your chromium browser,
just
try to open this video:

If you open it in Firefox it will play, but not inside C:
romium.

Hello!
First of all, I was surprised by the ability of html5 video support in
google chrome while it is absent in FireFox. I run
FireFox-3.5.12-1.fc12.i686. However this page [1] states
that~\cite{Firefox 3.5 introduced support for the HTML 5 <audio> and
<video> elements, offering the ability to easily embed media into
HTML documents.} But I'm unable to play html5 video on YouTube using
FireFox :-(
Second, I even didn't know there's a possibility of switching to html5
format on YouTube [2]! Probably I have to read docs a bit more [3]!
And the last, but not the least. I have no such problem with google
chrome (google-chrome-stable-6.0.472.63-59945.i386, installed form
google repo). I also have this package installed:
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.10-1.fc12.1.i686
Hope that helps!
P.S. The video you've posted is a bit provocative! I was really
annoyed with this bullshit micro$oft promotional.
