How can cef support H.264 and flash?

Question

I'm now developing an app with cef3 for Windows. I know that chromium has just dropped supprort for H.264. But is there another way that I can make my application play mp4 and flash video?

Answer 1

You need to reconfigure CEF build with at least

GYP_DEFINES="proprietary_codecs=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome"

The full GYP_DEFINES is

GYP_DEFINES="branding=Chromium buildtype=Official proprietary_codecs=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome", GYP_GENERATORS="ninja,msvs-ninja", GYP_MSVS_VERSION="2013"

You will need license for codecs. Chromium/CEF do not include them for licensing reasons.

Answer 2

the options to enable proprietary codecs (i.e. H.264) have been moved.
