Chromium Embedded Framework MP3 support

Question

I\'ve downloaded Chromium Embedded Framework r306 for Windows and built it. Unfortunately, it shows, that it doesn\'t support mp3:

Answer 1

There is a way to enable MP3 support in CEF, but you'll have to modify the cef.gypi in the source distribution, regenerate the visual studio projects and rebuild.

Detailed build instructions:

Enabling proprietary codecs support:

Add 'proprietary_codecs': 1 to your cef.gypi configuration so that USE_PROPRIETARY_CODECS will be defined as required by net/base/mime_util.cc.

You'll also need proper builds of the avcodec, avformat and avutil DLLs. Luckily, you can just get these from the installation directory of Google Chrome itself ($User/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/$Version).
