CEF not playing mp4 video file

Postby Bhasin1 » Fri Sep 12, 2014 11:16 am

I download cef - 3.1750.1738. I was trying to load a link with mp4 video and it always tries to donwload the file instead of playing it inline. It does play inline in chrome browser. Is there something that needs to be handled in cefclient ? Looking for some input on this.

Two things:
1. CEF does not support proprietary media formats like MP4. See https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembed ... ail?id=371.
2. If you're clicking an mp4 file link directly then the browser is likely loading a plugin or chrome extension to play the video. That plugin or chrome extension is likely unsupported by CEF.
