Can't Play Instagram Videos

Reported by sam.l.mi...@outlook.com, Mar 14 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2487.0 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
Any Instagram video

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to Instagram
2. Try to play video
3. Won't work

What is the expected behavior?
For the video to properly play.

What went wrong?
The video does not play.

Did this work before? N/A 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? N/A

Does this work in other browsers? Yes 

Chrome version: 46.0.2487.0  Channel: stable
OS Version: 8.1
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

Works if I install Chrome, or use IE. Specific to Chromium. I have tried MANY versions of Chromium, they all do not let the video play. Have googled the basic answers (turn on/off HW acceleration), nothing works.

Chromium doesn't have support for mp4 since it's a proprietary codec; which means Google has to pay for its usage.
