I have rebuilt cef from source with the proprietary_codecs option set to true, but I still cannot play mp4 videos for some reason. Is there a specific switch that I need to enable ? This is what I used to create the version of cef with support for proprietary codecs
set CEF_USE_GN=1
set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN = 0
set GN_DEFINES=is_official_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome enable_precompiled_headers = false
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2015 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*
python d:\code\automate\automate-git.py --download-dir=D:\code\chromium_git --depot-tools-dir=D:\code\depot_tools --no-distrib --no-build --branch=3239
There are 2 main steps in the build, one that calls automate-git.py and the second one that creates the cef projects (create.bat). I had the proper GN_DEFINES set in the first one but not the second one. I added the GN_DEFINES (is_official_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome ) to the second one and it picked up a lot more files during the build. Now I can play mp4 files
