Looks like it's failing here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/media/filters/ffmpeg_audio_decoder.cc&l=419
Here is the error message I got from Chrome: [1:9:0428/101459:VERBOSE2:decoder_selector.cc(195)] InitializeDecoder [1:9:0428/101459:ERROR:ffmpeg_audio_decoder.cc(421)] Audio configuration specified 2 channels, but FFmpeg thinks the file contains 1 channels So codec_context_->channels is 1, but Chrome expects it to be 2. And ffprobe confirms that the generated test.mp4 actually has 2 channels: Duration: 00:00:10.16, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 52 kb/s Stream #0:0(und): Audio: aac (HE-AACv2) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 51 kb/s (default) So we need to figure out why avcodec_open2 set channels=1.
