[SOLVED] chromiumembedded mp4 request cancelled

chromiumembedded mp4 request cancelled

I'm using CEF in offscreen mode to display web pages in my application. All the sites and functionality I've tried so far worked fine till I tried video. Youtube and other sites work fine but I created a small page to autoplay an MP4 and it didn't work.

<html>
<body>
<video width="320" height="240" controls autoplay>
   <source src="Some.mp4" type="video/mp4">
 Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video> 
</body>
</html>

I save the html on local disk and placed the Some.mp4 next to it. When I open the file in Chrome it works fine and the video plays back.

However opening the page in my application via CEF doesn't do anything. I get the frame for the video and nothing else. Looking more into the problem in devtools I found that the request for the mp4 files are being canceled.

any help would be appreciated.
