It still doesn't work on the latest chromium snapshot
Chromium	55.0.2865.0 (Entwickler-Build) (64-Bit)
Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
h264 support is bundled with Chrome proper.

For chromium you will have to install the codecs. Consult some documentation for the platform you are using. For example Ubuntu has some codecs in this package: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree


I couldn't find any documentation to get a compiled binary of the ffmpeg-codecs, nor did I find a way to put it into the chrome-linux folder that comes from the daily-build download page

PS.: Sorry for late response
But when installing chromium from the package manager, it works (apt-get install chromium-browser)
