So what you are asking for is that Chromium will NEVER support H.264/MP4 or at least the package that one gets from openSUSE shouldn't support that. If users want to have that support they should go to get the official google-chrome package, which causes other issues as that they don't build against openSUSE.
According to the description of that package http://software.opensuse.org/package/chromium-ffmpegsumo?search_term=chromiu... These formats are not supported and if the user wants support to these formats, s/he must use chromium-ffmpeg from Packman. In theory, no poblem. But the issue is with openSUSE's chromium-ffmpegsumo. This is what the reporter of this bug and I are asking. We're using chromium-ffmpegsumo from openSUSE and we still are able to reproduce MP3 and MP4 in Chromium. Can you explain why it's happening?
You are aware that those are not runtime flags, but build flags ?[/quote]
Yes, I am.
If you feel that I should remove them, then I would kindly ask you to raise this discussion on the openSUSE-Factory mailinglist so that other people can comment on this too.
Everything has been reviewed by the legal team of openSUSE and found everything ok. This included even that the full ffmpeg source is intree, but only build against openSOURCE libraries. But maybe you know better than them, what can and cannot be done.
In that email you can also indicate that you are willing to take over the maintainership of chromium as that you can provide the right package without EVER supporting a number of codecs.
OK, I'll write to Factory ML. This really needs a new review from the legal team. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
