For the record, was it working for any previous version of www-client/chromium (i.e. is it a regression)? Also, could you post more detailed info about steps to reproduce? How did you enable HTML 5 video support in YouTube, and how do you tell that it's Flash and not HTML 5 video? Some screenshots would be nice. Created attachment 228569 [details]

Sorry about not being more thorough with my bug report. The last time it worked for me was www-client/chromium-5.0.366.2. I can tell the video is being played using flash by right-clicking the video and seeing the "About Adobe Flash Player 10..." in the context menu. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and join the HTML5 beta 2. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AWJnWNm5sU and observe the video being played using Flash I decided to change the ebuild for chromium-5.0.375.9 and change
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-supported-media-mime-types.patch
to
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-20100122-ubuntu-html5-video-mimetypes.patch
The result is that HTML5 playback on youtube works again. The strange thing is that I had both useflags mp3 and x264 enabled so the result should actually have been the same. Any ideas why just switch the patch would change the result?
(In reply to comment #5) > Any ideas why just switch the patch would change the result? Thanks for trying that. Could you also attach the build.log from the emerge of www-client/chromium after which h.264 video doesn't work? For example, I wonder if the patched file is compiled multiple times with different CFLAGS or something. Created attachment 228683 [details]

(In reply to comment #7) > Created an attachment (id=228683) [details] > build log for chromium which fails to play youtube video Thanks. This indicates that mime_util.cc is only compiled once (correct) with the right CFLAGS. Could you post info from http://html5test.com/ ? Does it say the browser supports h.264? I would expect score of 142/160. On my system it doesn't fall back to Flash, but it doesn't play either (the HTML 5 spinner keps spinning). Here, sometimes, even when subscribed to html5 beta, some videos play in flash. For example the linked video in this bug plays in flash Here is one that plays as html5 here, if you can try it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU0nNKnzTRE&feature=popular Also it may be worth checking with a clean profile, run chromium like: $ chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/temp_profile then activate youtube html5 and try the video again Also note that official google chrome binary behaves the same (flash for discovery, html5 for the video I linked), so this could be a youtube problem instead html5test gives me 142/160 I'm sorry Pawel, it seems this wasn't really a bug but human error on my part. As Bernard has indicated, it seems that not all videos play in HTML5 despite being subscribed to that beta channel. The link that Bernard has posted works with the chromium-5.0.375.9.build that is in portage. Really sorry to have wasted your time. |
