Web Browser Discussion, Browser Talk - Slimjet Web Browser Online Forum

Following instructions on https://www.slimjet.com/en/libffmpeg.php I looked at "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package"
(http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ ... m-browser/) and found that there were no DEB files that fit the template on ~/libffmpeg.php.

I selected "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg_73.0.3683.75-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64". As the Chromium engine 73.0.3683.75 noted in the DEB file name was not the same Slimjet Chromium Engine Vsn used by the latest Vsn of Slimjet (72.0.3626.121 as shown by "Help center->About Slimjet"). I chose ~73.0.3683.75~ as the most probable fit due to it being the latest ffmpeg codecs file for my vsn of Lubuntu.

I executed the Slimjet How2 for installing the ffmpeg library on Linux things seemed to work well, bu t then I ran across
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmfg7JW50_M&t=329s and got the error msg "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID:LI3LXjbFXVMLOiuR)".

I then tested other video sites (eg https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video ... ws-1197560) and found they also issued errors.

I downloaded a H264 test video (jellyfish-55-mbps-hd-h264.mkv) from http://jell.yfish.us/ and found that the test file displayed high detail h264 files very well.

I've looked through the Slimjet Forums for possible solutions but found nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.


Lenovo Thinkpad T500, Model 2242-8RU, 4gb ram
ubuntu lxde 18.04.20-desktop-amd64 (fresh build)
Slimjet Version 22.0.4.0 (based on Chromium 72.0.3626.121) (Official Build) (64-bit)

You might install Chromium & try that libffmpeg.so in Slimjet. It worked for me on my 64 bit laptop. On my 32 bit though, I get no sound, so the ffmpegs are definitely messed up. It's a bug & they are working on it.

Thanks for your reply. I've reverted to a working vsn of Slimjet.
