[chromium-discuss] Chromium Does Not Play Video on Any Device

[Eric Valero]

Hi all, question-
Is Chromium not supposed to play video?

I have chromium on a MacBook pro, on a Fedora workstation, on a Linux Mint
Laptop, and it will not play video anywhere on any of those devices.
By anywhere I mean anywhere- youtube, cnn, embedded video in tweets. I'm
assuming its an HTML5 issue.

Video works fine in Chrome on the same devices. Video also works in firefox.

As a specific example,

The video in this tweet displays the message "We cannot play the video in
this browser. Please try a different browser"
https://twitter.com/JohnOwning/status/958033379240304640

All these videos on CNN say "Something went wrong during native playback"
https://www.cnn.com/videos

And actually I just went to check youtube and it works, which is new.

Can anyone offer help with this?

Here are the errors listed in the debugger for the CNN page:

[PhistucK]

Chromium, out of the box, does not have non-free codecs (H.264, which is
prevalent in non-Google videos. YouTube uses VP8 or VP9 - they are free
codecs and so they are supported in Chromium out of the box).
Same about audio codecs, like AAC.
Also, I believe Chromium does not have Widevine out of the box, which is a
DRM library (a way to prevent media piracy).

Whenever videos employ one of those, out of the box, Chromium will not be
able to play them.
