HTML5 audio works, video does not

Open kanaka opened this issue 10 years ago • 5 comments

For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQCCPP8aZBY

The audio plays, but not the video. Pausing the video sometimes causes a still image of the current paused frame to appear. Also rolling the mouse around the video area will sometimes cause a still image of the current frame to appear.

Other html5 video seems to have the same issue: http://www.videojs.com/

Indeed. This is badly broken. Depends on this: https://github.com/breach/exo_browser/issues/153

@kanaka: did you build from source? I have the same problem on OpenSuse, but if I compile chromium in the same tree, it has the same problem as well, so it does not come from exo_browser. We are most likely missing a step in the build process.

It seems to be the case for html5 videos. Flash videos are playing just fine. I don't know enough about the chromium architecture to dig deeper.

We will have to work on this in the next release of the ExoBrowser! I'll be putting together this week a roadmap for both breach_core and exo_browser! I'll make sure to include this in it!
