Major html5 sites still require h264 decoding (vimeo/dailymotion to a certain extend). A good thing would be the addition of a use flag in order to enable h264 decoding in chromium.
Paweł has rejected this idea before. Personally, I have it enabled in my overlay.
I did enable it also in my custom overlay. I got vimeo.com to work again, but not dailymotion. As I said in the forums, I even tried the --user-agent command line option, without success with dailymotion.
I have just enabled H.264 in the beta, dev and live ebuilds. I will test the dailymotion site later tonight.
With chromium-9999-r1, Dailymotion HTML5 version still does not work even with the new bindist USE flag disabled. Moreover, H264 support was already enabled before the change (regarding Youtube html5 browser test support). On my system, H264 is reported as enabled by http://html5test.com/ but not MPEG-4 support (that's perhaps the source issue).

I am unable to get dailymotion videos to work in either chromium or google-chrome on Linux. vimeo works fine, and appears to use H.264.
(In reply to comment #5) > I am unable to get dailymotion videos to work in either chromium or > google-chrome on Linux. vimeo works fine, and appears to use H.264. Can this bug be closed then or forwarded upstream? Looks like our Chromium ebuild supports h264 now.
