Ah ha! So that's why HTML5 on Youtube stopped working. Yeah, we either need to enable VP9 decoding, or fix the capabilities that Chrome sends to reflect that we don't actually support it. I don't think a USE flag really makes sense. From http://crbug.com/174287, it seems like upstream has no interest in cutting new releases of libvpx. Let's take a snapshot, or go with the bundled copy in chromium.

They do, but they're taking their time. :) Most likely I'll do the release but need to get the green light for that. > Let's take a snapshot, or go with the bundled copy in chromium. Oh, I completely missed the bits in net/base/mime_util.cc that claim vp9 support. Yeah, I'm kind of leaning towards bundled copy. Ideally we could do that before next M30 stable release... 15 Oct 2013; Pawel Hajdan jr +chromium-30.0.1599.66-r1.ebuild, +chromium-31.0.1650.12-r1.ebuild, +chromium-32.0.1664.3-r1.ebuild: Fix vp9 support by switching to bundled libvpx (bug #487926 by Paul Marks). Thank you, it's working now. Tested URLs: - http://base-n.de/webm/VP9%20Sample.html - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUlzg-fkHak |
