Hi Raymond, correct me if I am wrong... the lack of the proprietary support... renders for example the youtube experience indeterministic? I do not remember that all the content is webm available... I suspect other content rich websites would be affected too. and this is some experience we shall avoid to give the users. The solution would be probably for user to uninstall his/her chromium and install one from packman. I do not remmber if you managed to get it to have installed multiple versions of the moment. Personally I am totally against offer a capon version of chromium... Too much duplicated work on the the packaging side... probably poor experience on the user side. regards, Alin Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Dr. Alin Marin ELENA http://alin.elenaworld.net/ ______________________________________________________________________ On 27 November 2013 10:21, Raymond Wooninck <tittiatcoke@gmail.com> wrote:

With no codec support... what's the point of building Chromium? This is like building VLC with no codec support. It's nice and all but not really practical for the actual end user.
It is not that there is no longer any codec support. The codecs here are regarding MP4 and H.264. Those will no longer be supported. Other codecs should still be supported.
It seems that without those two codecs, html5 starts using webm as the supported codec. We have to see which codecs we actually really loose and which ones are still there. The end situation will be the following:
As of this writing (May 5, 2011), Chromium supports standard the following: Vorbis audio codec Theora video codec VP8 video codec PCM 8-bit unsigned integer PCM 16-bit signed integer little endian PCM 32-bit float little endian Ogg container format WebM container format WAV container format
When building with the proprietary codec flag, there would also be support for MP3 audio codec AAC audio codec (Main only, not AAC-LC, AAC-SSR, HE-AAC) H.264 video codec MP4 container format
