WPF: Videos in web content limited codec support

Open dasgarner opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

The default web engine in R252 is Chromium brought by CEFSharp.

CefSharp is based on CEF which is based on Chromium. Chromium does not support proprietary audio and video formats only Google Chrome does. If you need proprietary codec support you need to build CEF/Chromium on your own. There are no plugins/extensions which enable this functionality. Source.

Chromium audio/video page.

Build tools - worth noting that even if we were to compile those codecs into CEF, we couldn't re-dist that legally.

This also effects the HLS module which is web based (and works in IE11). We could potentially output the <--BROWSER=edge--> HTML comment at the top of the HLS module as a temporary patch?
