To play html5 video/audio for me not just "mp3 threads x264" on ffmpeg is needed, "theora" is too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ffmpeg with USE "-theora mp3 threads x264" 2. emerge chromium 3. try to play html5 video Actual Results: video wont play Expected Results: video plays possible solution should be: --- chromium-5.0.375.9.ebuild 2010-04-25 19:56:23.330950401 +0200 +++ chromium-5.0.375.9.ebuild.new 2010-04-25 19:56:45.079961418 +0200 @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ RDEPEND="app-arch/bzip2 >=media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.19 media-libs/jpeg:0 media-libs/libpng - >=media-video/ffmpeg-0.5_p21602[mp3=,threads,x264=] + >=media-video/ffmpeg-0.5_p21602[mp3=,threads,theora=x264=] sys-libs/zlib >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.14.7 x11-libs/libXScrnSaver"

Ben, could you give an example of vide that doesn't play with USE="-theora" as a test case?
Every youtube.com video... html5test.com tells me i have no video codec too (x264 -> "no")
(In reply to comment #3) > Every youtube.com video... Could you find some other example? Debugging HTML5 video on youtube is particularly problematic. > html5test.com tells me i have no video codec too (x264 -> "no") Oh that's weird. Could you post all of your ffmpeg flags? Also, does x264 switch to "yes" on html5test.com when you build with USE="theora"?
Sorry, tried everything, unable to reproduce today... sorry for opening this bug, next time i will spend more time in testing....
