[opensuse] html5 player of youtube says "An error has occured" on chromium
Videos play fine on Firefox using HTML5 player of youtube.com, but the same videos give "an error has occured" on my chromium 43.0.2357.65-29.1. System is OpenSUSE 13.2, 64bit x86. Not a single video on chromium plays, e.g. youtube.com, lynda.com, presto.com.au, netflix.com.... There are no technical information besides the for-mago message "An error has occured". Strange enough, youtube.com/html5 on chromium says I have everything supported, 6 tickes all ticked. While youtube.com/html5 on Firefox says I have only 2 tickes of the 6 ticked: "HTML Video Element", and "WebM", Yet, Firefox perform okay when chromium can't. Why? If I do a google search, most people suggest that I should switch to HTML5 player instead of Adobe Flash (was done already), install gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ffmpeg and gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 (was done already, although don't think this suggestion is relevant, since youtube moved away from h.264 and mp3 codecs long ago), or check youtube.com/html5 (checked) Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Same here. But I have a machine running 32 bit which runs without a problem. Same opensuse, updated with the last available updates.

Doesn't work for me. There is only chromium-ffmpegsumo, which I had. I noticed there is a new chromium and a new version of chrome-ffmpegsumo to match, so I upgraded both. Now I have these: chromium-ffmpegsumo-43.0.2357.65-29.1 chromium-43.0.2357.65-29.1 And same old problem "An error occured". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Everything works here on oS 13.2 with chromium-43.0.2357.65-29.1.x86_64, chromium-ffmpeg-41.0.2272.89-3.1.x86_64 from packman. ffmpegsumo does not include certain codecs. -- Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

We went back to ffmpeg and it now works again:
chromium-ffmpeg-43.0.2357.65-5.1.x86_64 chromium-43.0.2357.81-734.1.x86_64 But there are still things that don't work, such as the google photo editor. (Please note, we're not the author of the thread but are reporting on reverting to ffmpeg after performing a yast online update around a week ago) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
