Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36 Example URL: Steps to reproduce the problem: There is a chunk of ffmpeg_c_sources which, if built into Chrome/Chromium, enable mp3 support. (It starts with libavcodec/aac_ac3_parser.c and ends with libavformat/mp3dec.c). Given that no one considers mp3 decoding to be legally encumbered anymore (see Fedora's recent inclusion), I'd like to ask that the conditional be changed to allow it to be included in Chromium builds as well. The patch is straightforward, and I can submit it through normal channels if desired, but I wanted to open an issue on it first. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? No mp3 support in Chromium builds (without lying about being Chrome). Did this work before? N/A Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? N/A Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87 Channel: stable OS Version: Flash Version: Contents of chrome://gpu:

The idea here is that we (Fedora) cannot enable proprietary_codecs=true or ffmpeg_branding=Chrome, because of the legal reasons for all of the things... except mp3. We even have to remove the sources for the items that are conditionalized on those flags. Nevertheless, thanks for checking with the appropriate lawyers. |
