Title:
video.canPlayType reports h264 report even though this is not true
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Version: 13.0.782.215~r97094-0ubuntu1
Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
Release: 11.10
with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg installed(default, only ogg and webm
support)
chromium still reports it might be able to play back h264 video
document.createElement('video').canPlayType('video/mp4; codecs*="avcl.42001E,
mp4a.40.2"')
should return "" and not "maybe"
this is used to detect which format works,
example page using this: http://www.youtube.com/html5
this will cause video playback to fail on pages that prefere h264 over webm
support,
on those pages, videos will just not work.
video.canPlayType was specifically added to the video tag api to prevent this
from happening.
