Using embed tag gives "Plugin is not supported"

[aasmagarg]

Hi,

I am using CEF 2840 and trying to play using mp3 using embed tag.

Code: Select all

<embed src="abc.mp3">

However, it gives me the error "Plugin is not supported" . I tried using command-line flag "enable-system-flash". That still doesnot work.
What am I missing ?

Thanks,
Aasma

You need to compile CEF with proprietary codec support enabled as described here :

I have already done that. mp3 is playing if I use "audio" tag. Only on using "embed" tag, it gives me "Plugin is not supported".

Does it work in Google Chrome at the same version?

I am not sure about the chrome as I don't have the same version. But its giving the same output "Plugin is not supported" in cefclient app with version 2840.

[Solved] After debugging found that setting "GYP_DEFINES=proprietary_codecs=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome", doesn't enable the "USE_PROPRIETARY_CODECS" flag used in mime_util_internal.cc in 2840 branch. To enable this flag, we have to set GN_DEFINES.

Code: Select all

On Windows :
set GN_DEFINES=proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome
On Mac :
export GN_DEFINES="proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome"

The above change fixes the issue.
