Some additional links: http://medias.jilion.com/sublimevideo/dartmoor.mp4 - just not play http://medias.jilion.com/sublimevideo/dartmoor.ogv - play fine I can reproduce the same bug. It's also reproducible with www-client/chromium-44.0.2376.0. Does enabling USE="proprietary-codecs" fix this for you? (In reply to Paweł Hajdan, Jr. from comment #6) > Does enabling USE="proprietary-codecs" fix this for you? On that topic, I personally think it would be nicer to enable this by default. I may be projecting my own views, but I think very few people want a "patent-safe" browser at the cost of usable HTML5 video. (In reply to Paweł Hajdan, Jr. from comment #6) > Does enabling USE="proprietary-codecs" fix this for you? Yep, I rebuild www-client/chromium-43.0.2357.65 with USE="proprietary-codecs" and this fix this issue for me. But this makes fonts awful... Created attachment 403524 [details]
Fonts with USE="proprietary-codecs"
Rollback to USE="-proprietary-codecs"
Fonts breaking seems like unstable chromium bug. Downgrade to stable version from portage tree (42.0.2311.135) fix fonts and youtube videos!

Alright, changed the default: 20 May 2015; Pawel Hajdan jr chromium-43.0.2357.65.ebuild, chromium-44.0.2403.4.ebuild: Enable USE="proprietary-codecs" by default, bug #547800 by miflab. |
