With proprietary-codecs enabled, youtube videos and other video / audio media do not play in chromium (playing videos / audio works in =www-client/google-chrome-unstable-67.0.3396.18). When chromium is launched from the command line and I attempt to play a video on youtube, the following errors appear: [1:22:0427/115529.369188:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"video decoder initialization failed"} [1:1:0427/115529.392712:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DECODER_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED [1:22:0427/115530.943368:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"audio decoder initialization failed"} [1:1:0427/115530.948624:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DECODER_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED Similarly, when trying to do a lesson / start practice on https://www.duolingo.com, the following errors appear: [1:23:0427/115547.977008:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"audio decoder initialization failed"} [1:1:0427/115547.980916:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DECODER_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED [1:23:0427/115548.228466:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"audio decoder initialization failed"} [1:1:0427/115548.229112:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DECODER_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED [23996:23996:0427/115602.149302:ERROR:CONSOLE(6)] "Uncaught ReferenceError: gbar is not defined", source: https://clients5.google.com/pagead/drt/dn/ (6) [23996:23996:0427/115625.329754:ERROR:CONSOLE(6)] "Uncaught ReferenceError: gbar is not defined", source: https://clients5.google.com/pagead/drt/dn/ (6) [1:22:0427/115630.750550:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: open context failed"} [1:22:0427/115630.750650:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: open context failed"} [1:22:0427/115630.750699:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: open context failed"} [1:1:0427/115630.750729:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN [1:1:0427/115630.750855:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN [1:1:0427/115630.750940:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN [1:22:0427/115630.752441:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: open context failed"} [1:1:0427/115630.752711:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN [1:22:0427/115630.753883:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: open context failed"} [1:1:0427/115630.754056:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN [1:22:0427/115630.754287:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: open context failed"} [1:1:0427/115630.754393:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN emerge -pv www-client/chromium These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I'm seeing this too. I guess I'll try without system-ffmpeg ... Will let you know in tomorrow I guess -.-
I should also note I have =media-video/ffmpeg-3.4.2-r1. Looking at the archive it looks like it's bundled with a pre-release of ffmpeg 4.
Same problem. I confirm. [1:15:0501/141252.308367:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_ LOG_ENTRY {"error":"audio decoder initialization failed"} [1:1:0501/141252.660704:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERRO R DECODER_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
I confirm too. Any workaround till solved?
FWIW, unmasking ffmpeg-4.0 fixes the chromium issue here. Of course that may break some of your other packages (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=ffmpeg-4) You could also disable system-ffmpeg until 4.0 gets unmasked.
Took a while, but I can confirm -system-ffmpeg does work (although, now I'm building ffmpeg at least 3 times for my @world! :P)
