Videos not playing

Post by robbiberg »

Hi,

in version 18.0.1.0 some videos will not play. E.g. this one:

http://www.southpark.de/alle-episoden/s ... tty-tomato

On my computer (Windows 10 Pro) It only works, when Hardware-accelerated video decode in chrome://flags is set to "Disabled".

This was no problem in Slimjet 17, and it seems to be a Chromium 64 issue.

Nevertheless Slimjet is an excellent browser. I really love it.

Absolutely. It is a Chromium issue. It exists in every browser based on Chromium 64 (Slimjet, Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera etc.).

I hope the developers will eliminate this bug soon.

I´m on windows and could not watch http://www.southpark.de/alle-episoden/s ... tty-tomato, but because it´s not available in my country, but otherwise I could watch other videos from the same site. Using vpn, on UK.

No chance. There is no libffmpeg.so in Slimjet for Windows.

Any chance libffmpeg.so should be there? I dunno, don't use windows, but I do see ffmpeg downloads for win, so makes me wonder.
