Ubuntu Multimedia :: HOW TO Get Chromium To Work With HTML5
Oct 31, 2010
To get Chromium to work with HTML5 in uBuntu you have to first uninstall the free "open source only" package "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg" that ships with chromium (not chrome) with only supports OGG and WEBM video Code:sudo apt-get remove --purge chromium-codecs-ffmpegand install the non-free proprietary version of the package named chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree which has full support for MP3 and MP4 codecs . . . Code: sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfreeAfter searching and Google ing like crazy . . . I couldn't find the solution spoon feed to me but was able to figure out the issue with mp3 and mp4 html5 playback in chromium and figured I would spoon feed it to everyone else! Enjoy.

I have installed chromium using this: [URL] -- spots repo. I have signed up to the trial for html5 here: [URL] and it says I am in the trial. However I am still unable to play a number of ..... videos not understanding exactly how I would receive the updates to enable html5 I thought I would wait a few days and see what happens but alas after a week nothing has happened.

I'm running 10.04 64 bit.
This doesn't happen if using Chrome.
FF v3.6.9
Seems like that shouldn't happen.

I am using pepperflash and the youtube HTML5 player on Debian Sid, on an amd64 machine. I am having a problem where the video will just black out every so often, like every minute or two, the audio still works and I need to either go forward or backward in the video to get the image back. I have noticed it on youtube videos which I suppose uses the HTML5 player not pepperflash.

YouTube now automatically serves html5 content if it detects you are using firefox version 40 or above. Unfortunately as a result, all youtube videos are now served to me at 360p resolution, and there is no way to change that on the youtube web page.
Before upgrading firefox, I could watch hd videos using flash. The ability to switch to html5 was also available on [URL] .... But with the later version of firefox, the option to switch back to using flash is no longer there on that page.
When I could view both flash and html5 videos (with the older firefox), I found that html5 played back very poorly. flash, despite being a known resource hog, actually played back better (with no h/w acceleration of flash in linux, I resigned myself to expect to use faster PCs to run flash hd at full screen). Which is a great pity, as we all know flash is disappearing, but it appears I now have an even bigger issue with html5. Where's the hd video?
So how can I get a better html5 experience? My machine is an i3 with GTS250 nVidia running Stretch.
The problem of only getting 360p resolution is probably a bug in firefox. Once I can get hd, I am then uncertain if firefox could handle it.
The advice of setting 'media.mediasource.enabled' in about:config to true to get higher resolutions did not work for me.
When I do that, the [URL] .... says I have:
HTMLVideoElement, WebM VP8 and Media source Extensions support, and
H.264, MSE & H.264 and MSE & WebM VP9 unsupported.
I have hardware acceleration enabled in firefox, and have the OpenH264 Video Codec (Cisco) plugin installed.
Some more info here: [URL] ....
I could switch back to using flash by using a user-agent switcher to fool youtube I have an older firefox, but that is a poor solution.

I am using chrome Version 50.0.2661.75 (64-bit) running on Debian (Gnome).
I am having the following problem, since yesterday every time I want to play a video (for ex [URL]watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc) The music, logo in the video and functions work but the video doesn't play. I reinstalled Chrome, clean all the data, disable all the plugins, I tried as incognito and several other options and it doesn't work, before yesterday it was working (yesterday I updated all Debians packages).

I noticed that Firefox won't play HTML5 videos, or better said, the sites always return a Flash video instead the HTML5 version. So either I install Flash or I can't play videos.
However, with Iceweasel I don't have this problem. The sites always load with a HTML5 video instead of the Flash version. So no need to install Flash.
I checked plugins, extensions and even the user-agent string to see if there is some indication Iceweasel is using and Firefox don't, but I don't see anything special, so... how is it possible that using Iceweasel the sites load HTML5 video, but using Firefox the sites tend to use Flash?
I know that in Debian there is no need of installing Firefox, but right now I'm trying other distros and that's where I noticed about this problem. Then switched to my Debian installation and installed Firefox, and checked the same happens in Debian. Just for the record, in Windows it doesn't need Flash either.

I'm having a problem getting the website [URL]... to display and function properly on 10.10. What I thought odd was that it fails to work in both Firefox and Chromium, although other Flash applications work fine. Is anyone having the same problem I am? Does anybody know what the issue might be?

I have just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10. I am trying to work out how to add Chromium to the Unity Sidebar. With other applications, I can launch them, right-click the application icon in the sidebar and select "Keep in Launcher", however Google Chromium doesn't appear to have this option. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

With the language set to either English (United States) or English (United Kingdom) ALL words are underlined in red, as though they are misspelled. I have ended up turning off the spell checker as it is so annoying. Checking Google it seems this is a know problem but there doesn't seem to be a solution for it.

getting the icedtea java plugin to work properly on Chromium. When I go to http://www.funorb.com/ and go to Arcanists, I usually get to the login screen, and sometimes I'm even able to login, but right after that, it crashes with an error message (Something like Icedtea plugin crashed unexpectedly).

I often use the option in Chromium to create 'application shortcuts'. These are instances of Chromium that make a website look more like an app by not including most of Chromium's toolbars. I use it for gmail and google docs and spreadsheets and calendar. In 11.04 I have set up Desktop launchers and copied them across to the Launcher (what an odd way to add something to the launcher, why no right-click 'add launcher' option?)
The problem is that the launcher thinks all these apps are chromium (which they are really, but I would like them to be seen as separate apps). If I minimize my gmail window, a little triangle appears next to the chromium icon, not the gmail icon. To get the window back, I have to click on the Chromium icon. Clicking on the gmail icon launches a new instance of it (also tied to the Chromium icon).

if i run chromium with --enable-gpu-rendering flag chromium's display looks like it's shattered into thousands of pieces and I can't understand a thing. This doesn't happens if I have a previous instance of chromium opened in the usual way, without any flag. In this case if I open another chromium window with the --enable-gpu-rendering flag it's display looks ok, but I can't figure out what's the problem and how could this be fixed if there's solution for it of course.

get the java plugin to work with either firefox or chromium on a Centos 5.6.I have created the symbolic links in what I think are the proper directories, but nothing. about :plugins shows zippo.I am running Centos 5.6
Java runtime is : jre-1.6.0_25-fcs
For chromium, I have the following symlink:
/usr/chromium/lib64/chromium/plugins/libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_25/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
For firefox, I have:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_25/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
alternatives --config java shows:There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
+ 2 /usr/java/jre1.6.0_25/bin/java

I made a shortcut with chromium browser to listen.grooveshark.com. This is great as it's almost like the grooveshark VIP desktop application like this. However AWN dock groups it with other chromium windows like this:Kuvakaappaus.jpg
Is it possible to force AWN to group this specific chromium window under the Grooveshark launcher that I have in the dock? Turning off grouping does not solve this either, as it just shows grooveshark as another chromium window.

Is there a way to get Chromium to use VDPAU acceleration for HTML5 video playback? It's obviously not as cpu usage is very high.

I've been going through the Comprehensive multimedia and video howto a couple of times and never get streaming going. When testing on the Apple trailers site and this here I don't get it to work. I tried both streaming options set in the thread, (a) Gecko Media Player and (b) MPlayer Plug-in (removing the other one in between) and am getting very annoyed. Currently have option (a) installed.

I recently installed Chromium and went to listen to one of my favorite podcasts, only to find that it wouldn't play. Like the title says, it plays perfectly well in Firefox. Is there some Chromium extension I need in order to play .mp3 files?

I'm fairly new to Linux and everything and still doesn't understand a lot of things about it. But as most of you may know that ..... is probably going to switch to HTML5 (so I heard) and I can not get Firefox to work with it. It is really annoying and I have flash player working but some videos require HTML5.

streaming videos i sometime want to save them, after watching. generally they're saved as flash videos or mpeg-4 video, which is all fine.however periodically they're split-up and saved in smaller chunks with names like data_1, data_2, data_3 etc. these range from 14.0 - 44.0 MB. the file in question (currently i'm trying to save from the cache) was from divxden, or possibly divxstage.eu either way i think it used the totem plugin.so, my question is: does anyone know if these files can be stuck back together, or if this feature can be changed so streamed files are kept intact?
